New Year's Eve Celebration, Giving Campaign Online, FPU graduation (Pastoral Emphasis from 12/27)

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Be thankful for your blessings because Christmas is not merry for some people. Many people are depressed and have very little. Even though we may not have everything we WANT, we are greatly blessed with material things and should not complain. But the greatest blessing of all is to be at peace with God! Everyone is invited to join us for our New Year's Eve Celebration on Thursday, December 31st, at 10:00pm. Come on time and bring a friend. We're going to have a great time. You will not want to miss it. This past Sunday was the last Sunday to participate in our Christmas Giving Campaign (sacrificially give towards a 15-passenger bus) to build our Transportation Ministry. The campaign runs through the end of the year so you can still give online . Select Special Events and then indicate "Bus" or "Van" in the Event type section. We recognized the first round of graduates (including my wife and I) from our Financ

Leading Lady Honored, Holiday Schedule, New Year's Eve Celebration (Pastoral Emphasis from 12/20)

Thanks to all who came out for the Ordination Service for Ministers Harrison and Clantan. Pastor Norm Peart of Grace Bible Fellowship brought a great message to encourage the ordination candidates to make sure their life is right first before asking others to listen and follow them. My wife and Leading Lady, Anita Harris, will be honored at the Overflow Woman Awards Ceremony on Monday, January 18th, at the Durham Marriott Hotel. The theme is "Honoring the Queens That Serve in the Kingdom of God!" The event is a formal affair and the attire for the evening is Black Tie! Tickets are on sale for only $8 until December 22. Everyone is invited to join us for our New Year's Eve Service on Thursday, December 31st, at 10:00pm. We will be doing something different this year. So arrive on time because you will not want to miss it. Holiday Schedule: All Bible Study classes as well as Prayer Meeting & Testimony Service are canceled for the rest of the year and will resume begi

Ministers' Ordination, Transportation Service to Community (Pastoral Emphasis from 12/13)

We are having an Ordination Service on Sunday, 12/20 at 4:00pm. We will be ordaining Ministers Harrison and Clantan for ministerial duties. Pastor Norm Peart of Grace Bible Fellowship will be the guest speaker. Everyone is invited to attend. We have a vision to serve others by going into the community and area college campuses and providing a way for people to attend worship services, experience fellowship, and hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. During the month of December, we are asking members to sacrifice to give towards our Christmas Giving Campaign to purchase a 15-passenger bus to build our Transportation Ministry. Remember, giving is a great act of worship. Not only can we give our voices, hands, and time in worship, we can also give our resources! They all belong to God anyway!

Christmas Programs & Giving Campaign (Pastoral Emphasis from 12/6)

Everyone is invited to attend "The Coming Birth of Jesus" Christmas Program on Saturday, December 12th, at 3:00pm. Invite others to come. Afterward, we're going Christmas caroling at the area Nursing Homes. Christ First Christian Fellowship Center invites us to their second annual Christmas Musical Celebration, "More Than a Manger," on next Sunday, December 13th, at 6:00pm. We have a vision to serve others by going into the community and area college campuses and providing a way for people to attend worship services, experience fellowship, and hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So for the month of December, we are having a Christmas Giving Campaign to raise funds for a Church Van (really a small 15-passenger bus). We believe we can find a used, but reliable one for around $25,000. We are asking members to sacrifice to give a gift of $25 or $50 (or really whatever amount you are able) to help us build up our Transportation ministry. Please see the video belo
