Let Us Give Thanks!

God has blessed Friendship Bible Church with a beautiful building. He has done it without us needing to go into debt. He has done it while maintaining peace and harmony among us throughout the project. He has done it! And we praise and thank Him for doing it.

This Lord's Day - March 1, we will dedicate the new building to the glory of God. Special speaker, Dr. Charles Whitfield, from Birmingham, Michigan, will be with us in both the Sunday School and Worship hours. Dr. Whitfield was the founder and pastor of the Grace Baptist Church of Birmingham, from which he recently retired after serving for over 57 years. He also founded the Birmingham Bible Institute. He has led multiple tours to the Holy Land, 3 of which Bill and Beth were privileged to join. He is a pastor, a preacher, a scholar, a Bible college professor, a mentor, and a friend.

Join us at 9:30 for Sunday School. All adults are welcome to gather in the auditorium for a lesson from Dr. Whitfield.

Then at 10:30 we will hold our worship service. The elders will be presenting some information about the building project, as well as recognizing those who played a role in its completion. We will mostly be thanking God for what He has done. And Dr. Whitfield will preach.

Immediately following the worship service, there will be light refreshments, and an opportunity to tour the new facilities.

Please join us!

Heard This On The Radio This Morning...

... and it blessed my soul.

Feels like it's been miles and miles

Feels like it's an uphill climb

Sometimes I get weary on the way,

But when I look back at where I've been

When I look back, I'm sure of it

I was right there in Your arms and I can say -

Every moment of my life

God, You never left my side

Every valley, every storm

You were there, You were there.

I don't need to know what's next

You'll be with me every step.

Through it all, through it all

I can see You carry me.

There are days I wonder if

You can fix the mess I'm in

Times when nothing seems

To go the way it should

But then I look back on every season

I can find there's ten thousand reasons

To trust that You can work all things for good.

Through the wind and waves

Through my worst mistakes

Through the times I thought I walked alone

You were holding me

You were whispering

I will never leave you on your own.

(Moriah Peters)

I especially loved that line, "I don't need to know what's next, You'll be with me every step."  Great reminder!

What does this look like?

Does it look like a lot of paper?













A lot of stamps and labels and stickum? Is that what you see?








Actually, it's gold and silver and precious stones! (1 Corinthians 3)

Thank the Lord for the good group who joined us in our mass mailing effort tonight. Pray for Kingdom increase now as we mail invitations to Dedication Sunday out to 2500 neighbors.
