February/March 2015

The Shepherd’s Heart

Volume 20 Issue 1

It didn’t take very long for

2015 to arrive. It was almost

like yesterday that we were getting

to February of 2014. But, here we

are.

As I ponder over the call of

God on our lives to be faithful serv-

ants of God through all the days of

our lives, I realize that we are on

call for ministry 24/7. (For those

new to that designation, it means 24

hours a day, 7 days a week.) All

along, I see a good story that illus-

trates what I want to say. I confess, I

don’t always remember where I see

them, but they are a great way to get

a message across to an audience –

whether the audience is in person or

in print. Let me share what I mean

with the following story:

Paul Decker (Baptist pastor

in N.Y.) tells the story of Billy Jack-

son’s daughter’s wedding day. The

phone rang as Billy (a locksmith)

and his wife were about to get into

the rented limo and leave for the

church. The caller, an agent for a

national auto club, was requesting

his services as a locksmith because a

member had locked himself out of

his car. The job was only a few

blocks away from the church, so he

grabbed his tools and headed for the

limousine. They reached the strand-

ed driver and he emerged from the

limo wearing a tuxedo. He opened

the car door in seconds and then

handed the motorist an invoice to

sign. “See,” the motorist said to his

wife, “I told you our auto club only

uses high-class service people.”

And that is what we are to

be—high class service people.

Don’t you love that story – and

doesn’t it say what we are to be –

servants of God who represent Him

in the best way possible!

My friend Marty Stubblefield had a

little note that said it this way:

Uniform of the Day

“Rather, clothe yourselves with

the Lord Jesus Christ, and do

not think about how to gratify

the desires of the sinful na-

ture.”

(Romans 13:14 NIV)

Clark Kent puts on his cape and

Superman suit.

Bruce Wayne puts on his Batman

cowl and cape.

Our military heroes put on their

uniforms and body armor.

Policemen and Firemen put on

their uniforms.

Doctors and nurses have their

uniforms.

In sports we have Practice Uni-

forms and Game Uniforms

The average Joe Citizen

may wear a business suit and tie,

or casual shirt and khakis, or

whatever the uniform of the day

may be. While Ms. Jo Citizen

will likely wear similarly styled

apparel appropriate as her uni-

form of the day for her work en-

vironment. Everyday, we wake

and put on our uniforms and go.

Whether we are stay-at-home

parents or top executives, or fall

somewhere in between, we each

have our uniform of the day. We

put it on, and we go and work.

But in Romans and in

Ephesians (a couple of times),

we’re reminded to “Put on the

Lord”, and reminded to put on the

“Full Armor” of the Lord. Why

would we ever rise in the morning

and not put on our uniform... not

put on the Lord along with His full

armor so that we are ready for the

day, and ready for battle?

That’s who we are. That’s

what we are. We are servants of God,

putting on the full armor of God so

that whether we wear a tux or jeans

and muddy boots, our first call is al-

ways (24/7) to be on task for the glo-

ry of God – in all we say and do.

“Whatever you do in word

or deed, do all the name of the

Lord Jesus, giving thanks through

Him to God the Fa-

ther.” (Colossians 3:17)

Thanks be to God for your

service in the Kingdom of God.

Pastor Bell

When I consider my ministry, I think of the world.

Anything less than that would not be worthy of Christ,

nor of His will for my life.

Music’s Beat

OK Chorale (Senior Adult Choir)—At last we can be in our regular rehearsal schedule after the holidays. I look forward to seeing each of you in rehearsals. We do have a wonderful time together. Check the Important Dates to Remember (to the right) to see when we rehearse and sing. (I figure you already have that scheduled.) I look forward to seeing you at our next appointed time. Worship Choir—Christmas is over and now we begin working on our Easter music—plus we are adding two other times for the choir to present special music during a worship event. So please come and be in rehearsal each week. We need you to be in rehearsals to accomplish our task for this year. I look forward to seeing you and worshiping with you even in rehearsals. We have the responsibility to lead worship each Sunday morning. We are the first people that worshippers see when they enter the sanctuary. And it sure is nice when we have everyone in place and singing out. We do miss you when you are out. Easter is coming – April 5th – so we have a lot to do in a short period of time. Let’s be in our place each week so we can adequately prepare for worship. What a wonderful time we had with Ivan Parker in concert on Sunday evening January 25. It is truly a great opportunity to hear one of the greatest in gospel music sing for us and share God’s word through music. I look forward to seeing you Sunday in church with a smile on your face and a song in your heart, and a friend by your side. Roger

Don’t forget 50+ each month. I know there are some more people that could come and be with us the third Fri-day of each month and fellowship with us – so come on and join us.

A new year and the Students Ministry has hit the ground running! We are excited about all that God has done for us and through us in this past year, but we are

even more excited about where he is taking us. The Students Ministry is ex-panding our leadership program this year with the rise of our mentors. A mentor is an adult volunteer in the Students Ministry who will be assigned a student. That student and adult will then grow together for a semester. The mentors are to guide and model to the student how to pursue a relationship with Jesus and get active in the local church. The students will also be pushed to test their limits and develop their character fuller. Please join us in prayer as our mentors seek to raise up a generation for God.

Fellowship’s Annual Easter Eggstravaganza

Saturday, April 4, 10:00am-Noon

Children’s Day!

Sunday, February 15th will be Children’s Day at Fellowship. The

Children’s Ministries of the church will completely take over the church

service that morning! The children are working hard putting together a

great service for everyone! You will get to sing songs with us, participate

in a Bible study and get an inside look at what we do each week in Chil-

dren’s Church and RA’s and GA’s. Following the service, the Children’s

Ministry will be providing a hot dog lunch and fun on a bounce house for

the participating children and their families.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to work with your chil-

dren each week and help them grow in Christ. We hope you can join us

for our fun-filled Children’s Day!

Women’s Ministry

Men’s Ministry

Men, we hope you were encouraged and chal-lenged at the Johnny Hunt Men’s Conference in January. It was a great time to connect with other men who want to develop a deeper faith walk, and what that looks like in day-to-day real life. One connection you can make regularly is through Ironworkers, Fellow-ship’s monthly men’s group. They usually meet on the third Monday night of each month for dinner and fellowship. Cost is $3 for church members; free for guests and visitors. They also have work days which are scheduled far enough ahead so you can get them on your calendar. Plan to join them on Monday, February 16, and March 16, at 7:00pm in the Fellowship Hall. For more information, contact Jim Holley at 510-2216 or 350-9596, or call the church office.

Kick the Can/ Breakfast Bash

Saturday, March 7 Collect, save, and bring your aluminum cans (drink and cat food) and disposable alu-minum baking pans to the next Kick the Can Drive on Saturday, March 7, 9:00am-10:30am. Gather aluminum anywhere—your office, rela-tives. It’s good for the environment and it’s a help to us! The sooner we get the current debt paid off the sooner we can start on a new Fellowship Hall. Over the past 4-5 years, the aluminum collections have contributed over $5,000 toward our debt reduction and reduces the prin-cipal on the loan.

After dropping off your aluminum, join us for a wonderful continental breakfast! For a donation in any amount, you can enjoy grits, sausage, biscuits, various pastries, fruit, coffee, and juice—and it’s all-you-can-eat! What a bargain—breakfast and sweet fellowship!

Festival of Tables Friday, February 27

The Women’s Ministry Festival of Tables will be held on February 27, at 6:45 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Lynette Pichard will be our speaker on the topic Bless-ings in Hard Times. This will be a ladies-only event. The Festival of Tables is always a beautiful occa-sion with each table decorated around a theme of the hostess’ choosing with special desserts prepared by each hostess for her table. The meal will be prepared by our special chefs and as always will be very delicious. Tickets are $15 each and will be available through the hostesses and members of the Women's Min-istry team. Your ticket must be purchased by February 22— no money will be collected at the door. Join us for an evening to remember through food, fellowship, and inspiration.

Churchwide Food Pantry Drive Sunday, March 29,

Morning Worship Service On March 29th, a churchwide food drive for our Food Pantry at Fellowship will be held in the sanc-tuary during the morning worship service with a bless-ing of the food as it is placed on the altar, the recipients, and the staff as they dispense the food. Please think of those who must, from time to time, ask for assistance for their families. Be generous with your contribution of canned meats, peanut butter, cereals, oatmeal, pastas and sauces, dried beans, fla-vored rice, powered milk, pancake mix, pancake syrup, instant/seasoned potatoes, canned vegetables, canned fruit, canned chili, and canned stews and soups. Also needed are toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, bath soap, body lotion, toothpaste and tooth-brushes, razors, laundry detergent, and cleaning prod-ucts. Thank you!

We know God only so far as we love God.

Money Matters

God blessed Fellowship Baptist Church with a 4 percent increase in Tithes & Offering gifts in 2014 over 2013! That is an answer to

prayer that we should celebrate! Again, we finished 2014 in the black. More details will be shared at the Busi-ness Meeting on February 18, 2015. Plan to be present. Renovation Funding Update: At the end of 2014, our debt was $57,625. Remember, all Building Fund/Renovation gifts go to reduce the principal on the loan. Please give above and beyond your regular Tithes & Offer-ings to help eliminate the debt.

Annie Armstrong was a tireless servant of God and a contagious advocate and supporter of mis-sions efforts throughout the world. Her passionate advocacy led Southern Baptists to name the annual offering for North American missions after her. Send North America is the Nor th Ameri-can Mission Board’s response to bring hope to an ever-increasing population by empowering the largest net-work of local churches (45,000 Southern Baptist and 311 Canadian National Baptist) to plant more congre-gations across North America. Twenty-five percent of all Christian churches planted in North America each year are planted by Southern Baptists. Of the 352 million people living in the United States and Canada, it is estimated that 265 million do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. One hundred percent of the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering goes toward resourcing and empower-ing missionaries to live out God’s call. The Annie Armstrong offering will be re-ceived throughout March. For more information, go to www.anniearmstrong.com.

Everyone is invited to the Donaldsons’ Farm

on Saturday, March 7, from 3:00-6:00pm

for the Annual Chili Mix!

Bring a pot of chili to put together in one big pot.

If you like cheese, sour cream, onions, crackers

or cornbread, bring that too!

And don’t forget those fabulous finger desserts!

We’ll eat about 4:00pm.

(Drinks, hot dogs, buns, and the fixin’s will be provided)

We’ll have hayrides, fishing (bring your fishing pole),

and more!

So wear your comfortable clothes and come have fun

with your Fellowship Family!
