FBC Goal: $48,000 Southern Baptist churches collect the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for the sole purpose of supporting missionaries sent by churches through IMB. Every penny of the offering goes to IMB’s overseas budget. The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering provides the largest portion of IMB’s income — 54 percent.

Lottie Moon support made it possible for IMB missionaries, working with their ministry partners around the globe, to communicate the Gospel to more than 1.4 million people, lead more than 337,000 people to faith in Christ, baptize 266,451 new believers and start more than 24,000 churches, according to IMB’s most recent annual statistical report (2011).

Lift High the Cross!

Last week over 20,000 churches across

America gained access to the long

awaited message from Dr. Billy

Graham – the centerpiece of the “My

Hope America” project. In his monthly prayer letter

Franklin Graham, Billy’s son, reveals the origin of this

message.

Sometime after my mother died, when I

visited my father, I began to notice

Scripture verses appearing all over the

house—on an index card taped to the

kitchen telephone, on a marker board in his

study, even on a hand-lettered poster in his

bedroom. It became clear that all of the

verses were about the cross. One said,

“God forbid that I should boast except in

the cross of our Lord Jesus

Christ” (Galatians 6:14, NKJV). The Lord

had put it in his heart that if he ever was

physically able to share a message again,

he would speak about the cross, and he was

determined to saturate his mind with the

Scripture. Now God has given my father

the opportunity—not in a stadium Crusade,

but through a special television program

called The Cross.

Over the past several months, Dr. Graham has been working

with a video crew in his home to film a brand-new telecast

that will air on cable networks beginning November 7 (his

95th birthday) and in thousands of Christian’s homes via

DVD. It’s a tremendously powerful program that has his

message interwoven with captivating testimonies of lives

changed by the living Christ.

What a privilege for our church to be involved in this

nationwide outreach! We partner with Dr. Graham on what

is very likely his last message to America! Not only is this

historical, it is critical. Please pray for our “Matthews” as

they prepare to invite their unsaved friends and neighbors

into their homes to view The Cross. Please prayerfully

consider assisting them by offering your home, some

refreshments and your prayer support. If you would like to

help, please contact the church office.

Prayer is the key. Pray for open doors, open hearts and

open mouths!

Humbled and Thankful for The Christ of The Cross,

God Heard Their Cry A Ray Vander Laan Study

Led by Matt Phillips Meets in the Church Office Conference Room

A Ray Vander Laan Video Series In ancient times, nothing was bigger than Egypt. Power-ful pharaohs, strong armies, and a multitude of gods. God’s people were no match against the Egyptians. In this eighth volume of Faith Lessons, discover how God answers the cry of his persecuted people and proclaims Himself LORD to them and their oppressors.

Answers in Genesis Video Series

Led by Mike Wehner Meets in Adult 1

Has the age of Methuselah - 969 years - ever caused you to scratch your head in wonderment? Have you ever wondered. . .

Where dinosaurs came from and where they went? How the Grand Canyon was made?

How and why glaciers were formed? And after all where did all those fossils come from?

The Bible says that God created the world in six days. Modern science says that it took billions of years for creation as we know it to evolve. What’s a Christian to believe? Are you confused by what your Bible says and what you were taught in science class? Come join us for a faith building study as we explore things the Bible explains that modern science can not.
