Spiritual warfare

Spiritual Warfare: We as a church have experienced Spiritual Warfare on many occasions, but the most recent was the organizing and putting on the Vacation Bible School program to reach the children of our community. For the first time we had 3 leaders step up to take part in the wonderful outreach event. Each leader, in the first few days of planning and participating in this event received bad news regarding members of their immediate or extended families. If you have been following our prayer requests, you are aware of each one. But once again, God prevailed. Each one of the leaders, in spite of the distractions, was able to step up and present VBS to the community and God was honored. Please say a special thanks to all those that stepped up to make this such a great event. The leadership team of Pastor Charlie, Kim A, Melinda W. are to be commended and I would ask you to let them know how much you appreciate their sacrifice.

God Glorified at Vacation Bible School

This week was a wonderful week. We saw 83 children participate in our VBS, 41 adults and youth volunteered to make a complete success. This has been the most successful VBS in the last few years at FBC. 25 children prayed the prayer on Thursday to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, (including two of my grandchildren!).
Friday night we invited the parents to come and see what the children had been doing for the week and we fed over 130 that evening in a wonderful time of fellowship.
This program could not have happened without the leadership of Pastor Charlie, Melinda Woodworth and Kim Abbott. What a team, they transformed the church into a beautiful Island for the celebration theme of Outrigger Island.
My thanks goes out to all of the wonderful volunteers who made this a tremendous success.
God was truly Glorified in the selfless sharing from all.
