Love From Your Pastor

Hi FBC Friends!

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ… (Gal. 1:3)
Thank you to everyone who participated in our 4 Days of Prayer!  We ended up with 116 hours of prayer, which is short of the goal I’d set, but more than we had last September.  I know many were praying from home as well, so thank you!  It was a blessed time and I appreciate all your support.  I believe God delights to hear the prayers of His people, and there’s something powerful about praying together.  Now to wait on Him for His answers…
Men, don’t forget our Men’s Breakfast this Saturday at 7am.  We expect a couple guests to be there and share with us: David Black, who is preparing for missionary service in Tunisia, and Robb Goff, who is the Northwest missionary for a ministry called “Fathers in the Field”, which works to help Christian men develop intentional relationships with fatherless boys.  So come for our usual good food, connecting with other guys, and meeting and hearing from David and Robb.
This Sunday I will share the first of two messages on Equipping the Lord’s People.  We will look at Galatians 6:1-10, and see a number of ways that we can work together to be equipped to reap a great harvest.  Please come prepared to worship and to grow in grace!
Trunk-or-Treat is not too far away – October 31st!  Time to start planning how you’ll decorate your vehicles, looking for sales on candy, praying for the event and for the people from our community who will attend, etc.  There will be an insert in the bulletins this Sunday about ways you can help for this event.  We would really love a few of you to volunteer to help with the planning of the details (to help lighten Elizabeth’s load a bit).  Thank you!
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers (and sisters).  Amen. (Gal. 6:18)
Love From Your Pastor,
