It’s been two weeks since I’ve given an update here, and that’s actually since we’ve had a lot going on!

Last week, our music director started several weeks of medical leave, and Brian B. helped lead our music in her place.

Over the last two weeks, we’ve had some trouble with the boiler that heats about a third of our building.  The problem seems to be fixed now, but took about two weeks to resolve.  We thank God for the help from North Park Services to get things going again.

This week, we assembled the contribution statements for 2008 contributions.  Since we changed accounting systems partway through the year, many members will get two statements, one for the first part of the year and one for the second part.  All that should be necessary to get your total amount given for 2008 is to add the two together.   We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

For the next three Sundays, we will be looking at what it means to praise God through the Psalms.  This week, we will look at Psalm 111 and how praise and wisdom work together.

I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday!

    Pastor, I know that your days have been crazy, but I have been praying for you and everyone at FBC. I’ve felt helpless lately, but I can pray! Besides, I’m getting a little bit better every day. (And I’m off all meds!)

    To everyone reading this, THANK YOU for your words of encouragement, prayers, cards, and meals that you’ve sent; I appreciate everything! Lord willing, I’ll see (and hug) all of you soon!

    We are a church with Baptist roots and we are also going through a time of bylaw revision. Would you be willing to share your draft copy with us?

    Thanks – Scott

    I agree with Justin! You haven’t added a new post since January? Wow. Maybe you’ll have time to write if I do the bulletins again. We’ll talk about that soon. Thanks for the prayer time today too. I’m looking forward to seeing what God’s up to…even though I’m more than a little apprehensive. Please keep praying for me please.
