Pastor Jay's Mid-Week Memo – July 19, 2023
Dear Church Family,
It is hard to believe we are in mid-July and the end of summer/start of school is coming on us quickly! It’s been a great summer and I have been so encouraged by all the ways God has moved in and through our faith family!
A couple of quick notes for you:
- Pray for our Kenya teams: as you know, we have a team serving in Kenya and God is moving powerfully! Pray for them as they continue sharing the gospel in villages and working with leaders there to plant new churches. Also, pray for the medical team that will leave tomorrow to join them on the field serving critical physical and spiritual needs. And, pray for those from the first team who will be traveling back in the days to come.
- This past weekend was really exciting as Matt Longworth gave a incredible message in our services, our Kenya team led in multiple church gatherings, and we publicly kicked off our partnership with Una Baptist Church. That’s what it means to be a part of a church that is serious about multiplying, sending, and going! The folks at Una were so warm, welcoming and excited about the new hope their church has because of this partnership! Pray for the Transition Team as they meet and pray for God to lead us to His plan for a church to thrive there once again.
- Tonight, join us for a Prayer Meeting in the chapel at 6:00pm, with our students gathering at 6:30pm for “YUK Night!” Your participation and involvement this summer has been so encouraging – attendance has been very strong each Sunday, and we’ve seen great participation at events like our Celebrators lunch yesterday (with zoo animals!) and our Women’s Summer Fellowships (next one is tomorrow night!). Thank you for being faithful!
I’ll be back in the pulpit on Sunday to wrap up our Walking Wisely series. It’s been a fun and helpful series – I’ve loved hearing so many of you say the same. Join us and bring someone with you this Sunday!
Love you and praying for you, FHBC family!
