Jesus said he’s going to build His church. And He’s handing you the hammer and nails. Come tonight to find out what on earth i’m talking about.
Oh, and click here for the “spiritual gifts test.” Please remember that a spiritual gifts test isn’t perfect. You don’t find one in the Bible. This is just a nice tool to help you think about where the Lord may have gifted you. Take it all with a grain of salt and ask the Spirit to show you how to plug in at FBC.
Howdy howdy boys and girls! Just wanted to remind you all that we’re still tracking through Ephesians. Tonight we’ll be in Ephesians 3:14-21. Read it before you come. If you had to summarize Paul’s point here in one sentence, what would it be? See you tonight. Love you guys!
The beach trip page has been updated. Please make sure you pay so that your spot is secure!
Meet at the church at 11am on Monday morning. After we’ve loaded up, we’ll pray and depart. We plan on stopping in San Antonio for lunch. That means you’ll need to make sure you have some cash handy (not packed in your bag).
We are expecting rain all next week. You might want to pack some extra clothes in case you get rained on. You also might want to bring shoes that can get wet/muddy.
We plan on returning 1-2pm on Friday. That depends on how quickly we can load up and hit the road. Students will call parents when we get to San Antonio.
We are meeting for the first time, this Sunday, June 20th, 7pm at my house. If you need directions, call me. You need to have read the introduction and chapter 1, and worked through the first section in the workbook. Most of you already have your books and I have your workbooks at the church.
We are leaving THIS SUNDAY for Mission A. There are a few updates and downloads available on the Mission Trip page.
What are you doing this summer? Why not spend some of your free time sitting by the Well and drinking deeply? We are beginning a summer small group the second week of June called “The Well.”
The Well is a high-commitment summer small group program. Basically, we’re going to get together once a week during the summer to discuss a book we’re reading. The book this year is Francis Chan’s “Forgotten God.”
The cost for the Well is $20. This pays for the book and the workbook. You are more than welcome to order the stuff yourself, but if you order it through me, I’ll cover the shipping.
Everyone is welcome, but as it turns out, this small group isn’t for everyone. There’s two reasons why it may not be for you.
1. It’s high commitment. You must read the chapter each week. You must commit to being present each week. (Obviously there may be once or twice when something comes up. That’s ok.) If you can’t commit to doing the reading and to being there, then it’s not for you.
2. The time may be too late. We are going to meet on Sundays after our Sunday evening program ends. So if our Sunday night church ends at 7, then the Well starts at 7pm. Or if Sunday night church ends at 9 (SNAC), then the Well starts at 9pm. For some of you, this may be too late. And that’s ok. This isn’t for everyone.
We are starting the Sunday after Mission A- June 13.
If you are interested, I need to know ASAP so I can order your books. In order to officially sign up, bring me $20 and say, “I’d like to drink deeply this summer.”
We kicked off Ephesians last week with a bang- well actually with a leprechaun siting- but nonetheless we’ll continue making headway this week. I’m really excited about what the Lord has shown me and it will encourage your brains out. Bring your Bible and a friend!
