Summer Monday Nights are on the way and we
are excited about our guests this summer. For those of
you new to FBCW each summer (except last summer) we
move our midweek services to Monday nights and invite
special guests to minister to FBCW and the community.
This Monday venue allows members of other churches to
join us without having to abandon their own services on
Wednsday evenings. This summer we are particularly
blessed.
June 15—Jonnie W.
When not performing at solo events
Jonnie works with Christian comedian Tim Hawkins on his “Rockshow
Comedy Tour.” Jonnie blends musical chops, mad vocals and off-beat
standup for a hilarious unique comedy experience. Jonnie is a regular at
FBC Atlanta and handles many Lifeway events.
June 22—Kristi Malzhan
Kristi Malzhan, wife of Auburn’s head
football coach, Gus Malzhan, will be
speaking on this evening..
Jun 29—Tim Lee
Tim Lee, the rebellious teenager and son of a Baptist minister, once walked the streets of McLeansboro, Illinois, in
violent protest to all ordained authority in the home, the
church, and the school. To escape the
world around him, he joined the Marine
Corps in 1969. After his training, he received orders to serve in southeast Asia.
In March of 1971, he was apprehended
by the hand of God along an abandoned
grassy trail in Quang Nam Province,
Vietnam. In that moment, engulfed in smoke, fire and holy
vengeance, a land mine explosion severed two lower
limbs, and placed in a wheelchair for life a young man
who was to carry, without legs, a message from God to a
nation.
Final three will be shared next week.
See You Sunday

One of the very most important ministries at FBC Wetumpka is our Sunday morning small groups ministry. Through the years we have changed the name of
our groups from Sunday School to Bridge Groups, but the
purpose remains the same – to connect people to the Gospel, to a loving and caring group of friends, and to the mission of the church. We are preparing for what we hope will
be our greatest year of small group ministry to date at
FBCW, and as a part of our preparation, I want to remind
our Bridge Group leaders to make plans to be a part of a
very important info meeting this Sunday night at 5:00 PM in
the iMPACt. We want to introduce you to a great new curriculum that we are considering as a key component of
Sunday School ministry, and we need your input as we
finalize plans for the coming church education year. Anyone who is interested in learning more about BELIEVE and
how we may be integrating this study into our church life is
welcome to come and enjoy this time of learning together!

“Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days
were written in Your book and planned before a single
one of them began.” Psalm 139:16
I write these verses down as an encouragement to
those who are going into another chapter in their lives,
namely the seniors. In just a few days you will be
graduating and your life will be changing. Some of you
will go to college, some are going into the military, and
some are going into the work force. Seek God in all
that you do, wherever you may be going, and He will
direct your paths. His plans for you are way better than
the plans you may have for yourself. May His plans be
your plans!
Library Media Center
New books went on the shelf this week. One of
these books is a fictional story by Max
Lucado entitled Miracle at the Higher
Grounds Café. With a mix of coffee,
faith, pastry yumminess and a tale of
redemption, the story takes place in the
backgrounds of San Antonio where
newly separated Chelsea reopens her moms' coffee
shop while trying to make sense of the chaos that
had become her life. Readers will find this book to
be truly inspiring as they read of God’s love and
grace as Chelsea’s world turns upside down.
