SERVICE TEAMS SERVICE TEAMS
Invite Everyone, Invest In People, Impact Eternity
In spite of the flu pestilence that’s besieged our nation and our community, our attendance has been pretty remarka-ble. Thank you for being faithful. Numerous writers have
bemoaned the shrinking faithfulness level of church members’ attendance. Many believe if they attend a couple of times a month, they are being faithful. Many are quick to just stay home or do other things without much thought of how crucial faithfulness in church attend-ance is for our own good and for teaching our children priorities. I think we’re seeing im-provement in this area. Let’s keep on growing in faithful attendance. I will be leading FBC-101 this Sunday at 4:00 in Room 133. You can park in the back, come through those doors and walk past the elevator straight to the room. This class is for new members, those who haven’t had the class, and those who are not members but want to know more about the church. At the end of the class, Danny Bryson will take all who are interested in on a tour of the facility. I hope you will make an effort to attend. We’ll have you out of there by 5:45 or so. We continue lingering at the cross this Sunday. We’re in a series called Cross Words, and will hear Jesus’ word to the repentant criminal. Good news about grace and Jesus’ capacity to save people even at the last minute. This would be a good week to invite any lost friends to join you in worship and Connect Group. See you Sunday. Your Pastor, John
