A Word from Pastor Sam

Good afternoon church,

I hope and I pray that your week is going well. I pray that you are experiencing God's grace on a daily basis. I pray that you are able to sow many Gospel seeds this week as you work, rest, and travel. I pray that we will all be blessed when we come together again this Sunday.

Church, this is an exciting season. Women, IF:Table is coming up soon! Be sure to scroll down for more information about that awesome event. Also, Halloween is approaching fast. Everyone is invited to come out and join the church on Main Street. We will be passing out candy and refreshments. Dress up, join the fun, and help us love the people of our community well.

There are other exciting events and outreaches happening soon. Chili Cookoff is returning on November 13th! Who will win the golden crockpot and brownie pan? We will see! Soon, we will also start collecting donations for our Thanksgiving Blessing Bag outreach. Be on the lookout for that information.

May God's grace be with you,
Pastor Sam

PRAYER FOCUS
Church, let us pray for one another. Sports, work, holidays, and other factors tend to make this Fall season incredibly busy. Let us pray for one another. Let us pray that in the midst of this busy season, that we will all be able to experience the blessings of fellowship and of God's grace daily. Let us pray.
 
It's an exciting time in the Fellowship Kids' Ministry! We are gradually seeing more and more kids (Toddlers through 5th grade) coming back to church. Over the course of one child's year, we have 52 opportunities (if they come to church every single Sunday) to connect with their family, influence them and share the Gospel message of Jesus. As our classes grow at the 9am service, and we look forward to opening classes for the 10:45 service, we need a few great people to step in to lead (using hands-on/video led curriculum by Orange), play, sing, game, and just enjoy sharing Jesus with Fellowship Kids! Substitutes are always needed too! If you can commit a semester, or month or just one or two Sundays a month, Fellowship Kids may be just the place for you to serve! Contact Michelle Douglas at fellowshipkidsbatesville@gmail.com, stop by the Welcome Desk and check out the schedule, or call the church office (870) 698-9244 Monday - Thursday. Let's help train up the next generation!
PRAISE!! We have filled the need in first service. If you'd like to volunteer for second service, hopefully starting in January, please let us know!!
