“The only investment I ever made which has paid consistently increasing dividends

is the money I have given to the Lord.” (James Kraft, Kraft-Phoenix Cheese Corp Chairman)

“To give without any reward or any notice, has a special quality of its own.”

(Anne Morrow Lindbergh, American Aviatrix and Writer)

“A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.”

(Jack London, American Novelist)

Conversion is a complete surrender to Jesus. It is a willingness to do what He wants you to do.

Reflect-Do you believe you have fully surrendered yourself and all you have to the Lord? If not, what is holding you back?

Prayer-Heavenly Father, we want to follow you fully. Help us to surrender all we are and all we have without holding anything back. Amen.

For the safe-

ty and security of eve-ryone, your backpack or bag may be inspected.

Thanks for your cooper-ation!

New LIT at FBC

Nineteen-year-old Emma Frisbie is FBC’s newest Leader-in-Training (LIT). Emma is Damon and LeeAnna Frisbie’s daughter. She has two brothers, Kaleb and Liam, that go to Kid City and an older brother, Richard, who lives in the West Valley. Emma graduated from Dobson High School and Evit Cosmetology School in 2018. She works at Verde

Salon, a natural organic salon.

Emma has attended FBC for 12 years. She is no stranger to serving Jesus. She has served in Kid City in multiple capacities; she has been one of our worship team leaders during the 11:00 am service; she was in the Youth Choir and went on some of their choir/missions trips; she has been involved in FBC’s drama ministry; and she has gone on mission trips with the youth group. One highlight of Emma’s life is the senior trip she took with her Dad to Israel this past March.

As an LIT, Emma will be stretched as she develops her servant leadership skills. She has already helped to launch the new Women’s Bible Class on Sunday mornings. Not only does she have some upfront assignments but she has many behind the scenes assignments (pray for the students, create attendance sheets, etc.) Among other things, Emma will reach out to young single women at FBC and try to help them connect with each other in a meaningful way.

Reach out to Emma and encourage her big time as she endeavors to grow in her leadership skills.

Join the FBC family as an Official Member!

As a member you will live the Christian life in community with fellow believers. You will grow and become spiritually mature in Christ. For more information on becoming an official member contact Pastor Jeff Savage at 201-519-2856 or [email protected].

After you have shared your testimony with a pastor, you will be presented to the congregation on a Sunday morning in the future and invited to share lunch with the staff. An official friend will help you become acquainted with FBC and will also accompany you to our get acquainted lunch.

Our next New Member Welcome is Sunday, September 8, 2019

God’s Faithfulness

We are God’s idea. We are His. His face. His eyes. His hands. His touch. We are Him. Look deeply into the face of every human being on earth, and you will see His likeness. Though

some appear to be distant relatives, they are not. God has no cousins, only children.

We are, incredibly, the body of Christ. And though we may not act like our Father, there is no greater truth than this: We are His. Unalterable. He loves us. Undyingly. Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.

A Gentle Thunder
