Announcement

Mid-week Announcements on August 25, 2021

1) Elder Talk & Prayer Meeting – September 1^st, 2021 – 6:30 PM : Next Wednesday, we’re planning on meeting at the church building for an elder talk on social media and the church (“From the Overflow of the Heart, the Keyboard Types”), followed by a time of corporate prayer. We encourage those who are able, to join us. For those who cannot make it, the talk will be recorded. Please note, kids are welcome, but there will be no nursery.

2) Members Meeting – August 29^th  – Attention Members! Please join us immediately after the Sunday morning service as we plan to have an abbreviated member meeting: as we consider taking in new members, praying for those who’ve moved, and having ministry updates.

3) Fall Sunday School and New Sunday Morning Schedule – Beginning September 12^th, our plan is to introduce one Sunday School class in the auditorium on Philippians, Colossians, Philemon. The class will be taught by the elders and is open to everyone, though we are not able to offer a nursery at this time. So, beginning September 12^th, our plan is to shift our Sunday morning schedule to the following:

9:00 AM – Sunday School

10:00 AM – Sunday morning service

We will provide more details in the coming weeks, but we wanted to let our church family know so that if you have any questions or concerns you can let us know by contacting one of the elders and/or emailing the church office.

4) New Sermon Card – Check out the new sermon card for the Fall. We encourage you to read the text that will be preached the coming Sunday to prepare your heart and to join us in praying for God to bear fruit in our lives through His word.

5) Memorizing Romans 8 Together Challenge: Romans 8 is jam-packed with glorious truths about God good for us to dwell on and memorize. As our church works through Romans 8 this Fall (see Sermon Card), we wanted to offer a Scripture memory challenge to our church as a way to hide God’s word in our heart. Beginning September, we have 13 weeks to memorize all of Romans 8 (which has 39 verses). Find a friend to memorize with or do it with your family! For a helpful tool, check out https://biblememory.com/. If prefer to go at their own pace, go for it! For those who find it helpful to have a plan, here you go:

6) Book Recommendations – Date Your Wife: A Husband’s Guide, by Justin Buzzard

7) Giving We encourage you to continue to faithfully give as a way to sustain the gospel ministry at FBCUM and as a means for us to care for those in need as a church family.
