Love From Your Pastor

Hello FBC!

 
I love You, O LORD, my strength.
 (Psalm 18:1)
 
Do you love the Lord?  Is He your strength today?  He loves you, and if you are in Christ, you are chosen of Him, holy, and beloved (Col. 3:12)!
 
This Sunday I will be completing the discussion from Colossians 3 about what we are supposed to “take off” and “put on” in our lives.
  If you were there last Sunday, you know we looked at the things from our old nature that we are to “put away” from our lives.  This week we will look at the character traits of our new lives that we are to “put on”.  Please read Colossians 3:12-17 for Sunday and join us at 10:30!
 
Remember men, tomorrow morning at 7am we are having our monthly men’s breakfast.
 
Also, tomorrow night at 5:30pm, the men’s group is hosting an “Andrew Dinner” at Crowfoot Baptist Church, 699 Cascade Dr. in Lebanon (across from Seven Oak Middle School).
  We will be having lamb and potatoes, and hear from a few of our guys.  We are joining in with a couple other churches.  Men, invite another man, and come be fed and be encouraged in your walk with the Lord!
 
On another note, I will be helping again this year with Central Linn varsity baseball.  The players are currently trying to raise some much-needed funds.  They are selling 15 lb. boxes of oranges or grapefruits for $25.  Both Caleb and Yaoyi need to sell some.  So I told them I’d help them a little by including it in my email!  So if you need some vitamin C, and/or you just want to help the baseball team out, please let one of us know!  The deadline for the players turning in the money and orders is next Friday, Jan. 27.  Thank you!
 
Looking forward to our times together this weekend!
 
Love From Your Pastor,
Michael
