Come Serve With Us!

Hey Church!

I am so excited about what the Lord is doing in our church and specifically in the worship ministry of FB3C. And I want you to be in on it too! Happening this month is our Kids Music Camp! July 15th - 19th boys and girls who just completed K-5th grades will be here everyday learning music together, singing songs, playing fun and whacky instruments and playing games, but most importantly they will be hearing the gospel presented to them every day and have many chances to respond to it! We still need volunteers for camp so if this sounds like something you’d want to be a part of, email or call me and let me know so that we can find the perfect spot for you to plug in! Be praying with me that God would touch these boys and girls hearts and that some might even trust Him as Lord and Savior of their lives.

Another thing that is happening this month I want to tell you about is our choir. During the month of July our choir takes a brief hiatus as we prepare for the coming fall and Christmas season. This is the PERFECT time to join us if you’ve been considering it. Starting Sunday July 28th at 4:30 PM we will resume our weekly choir rehearsals. At this first meeting after our break we’ll introduce the new music we’ll be learning for our weekly anthems making it a great time to come and check out what our choir is all about. If you sing, even just a little bit, we’d love to have you!

As always I am so honored to serve here at FB3C and thank God for the blessings he has poured out on our church!

In Christ, Sam Killman

NOTES

Grace and peace!

Summer is officially underway and what a success it has already been! As I write this, VBS has come and gone, our Youth are at MFuge Mission Camp, our Summer Sack Lunch Program is in full swing, and our Children’s Music Camp is quickly approaching. I am thankful to all who have served so far and I hope you will continue to engage in gospel ministry. If you volunteered for VBS, please consider volunteering for our Children’s Music Camp this year as well. Last year went wonderfully and we were blessed to have one saved as a direct result of that ministry. Would you please sign up to volunteer if you haven’t already? The Lord can use you in a mighty way through this Music Camp!

On Wednesday, July 10th we’ll be having our Quarterly Church Business Meeting. At this meeting we’ll be voting on whether or not to add an early service to our Sunday morning worship schedule. I hope you’ll plan to attend this meeting, and I also hope you’ve read the document we’ve had available since April. I am attaching that document once again to this newsletter, please read it. You can find all of the information about this vote and our reasons as to why we believe it’s time to add a service in that document. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!

On another note, are you currently involved in a Sunday School class? If not, would you commit to regularly attending a class as soon as you can? I cannot emphasize strongly enough the importance of Sunday School participation. We live in a world where it is hard to follow Jesus and where there is spiritual warfare all around. Our Sunday School classes provide us with a place where we can pray, grow, and conquer life’s battles together! If you will get involved in a Sunday School class, I can guarantee you your life will improve. I know that’s a bold statement, but I say it in all seriousness. Stop missing out and join a class today!

Finally, our next Care Night is Sunday, July 14th from 4pm – 6pm, with a meal to follow. We will meet, as always, in our Fellowship Hall and from there we will spread out to do ministry both within the church walls and in our community. Our Care Night ministry is when our church takes a time of the week when we would already be meeting (Sunday evenings) and devotes that time to providing you with an opportunity to do ministry. We all live busy lives, and we all wish we had more time to do the things we often intend to do for the Lord and for others. This is your opportunity! If you’re looking for a simple opportunity to visit church prospects, deliver care packages, write cards, make phone calls, prepare meals for shut-ins, visit the hospitals and nursing homes, etc., would you please come serve with us? There is a place for you to serve and you will be glad that you did as it is always a blessing to all of us involved!

Hannah and I are so very blessed to have such a wonderful church family. Our hearts rejoice every time we think of you and remember you in our prayers. Please know my door is always open and I am available to talk with you about any of your spiritual needs. I encourage you this month to try to bring someone to church with you each and every week. Statistics show that if you invite people who don’t attend church to come with you, half of them will accept your invitation. Brothers and sisters, those are great odds.

May the Lord be with you and guide you as you seek to live for Him daily!

In Christ, Pastor Chase

As I type this, we are making our last minute preparations for a week at Mission Fuge. For decades, our church has been so supportive of our teens going to camp. I have great memories of attending Fuge when I was in youth group here and it was there that I first began to consider a call into ministry. One of the best things that a camp experience does for teens is to strip away all the distractions they experience here allowing for a full focus on Christ. The Fuge staffers have preplanned every part of the day to engage teens with the Gospel and how God wants to use them.

When you receive this newsletter, our teens will have returned from camp. I pray this camp week will ignite the students to a deeper desire for service here at home. Upon our return, I ask that you look for ways to encourage our students and let them know you are committed to praying for them. These teens are facing things I never imagined when I was in their shoes and you’ll never know how far an encouraging word from you will go in their lives. Not only that, but also speak life into their families and commit to praying for their homes. We are stronger as a body when each family unit is looking to Christ and we are all committed to walking alongside of one another along life’s journey.

This year’s VBS was one of the best ever! I can’t thank you enough for stepping up to make it happen. We have some of the most creative, kid-loving, fun-spirited, willing-to-serve Christ followers in the world! Thank you for providing all the resources we needed to reach kids with the Gospel. We have another opportunity to minister right around the corner with our Children’s Music Camp July 15th-19th. It went so well last year that kids here during VBS were asking if we were doing it again this summer! It’s open for those who just finished Kindergarten through those who just completed 5th grade.

On Thursday July 25th, the youth will be making our trip to Holiday World! We want this to be a great outreach tool for teens so help us spread the word. Sign up will be posted in the youth room.

In Christ, Kevin
