A Word
Your Pastor Search Committee
The Pastor Search Committee is in the process of narrowing candidates for
the FBC Pastor position. As new resumes come in, we continue to pray for
discernment regarding their placement.
To gain input from our church family, we want you to have the opportunity to
share what God is laying on your heart regarding our future pastor. During the
month of October, your Grow Group teacher will have envelopes available for
you to submit your written note to us. It is your preference whether or not to sign
the note. You will then turn the sealed envelope back in to your teacher during
October.
Additionally we want to be available for you on Sunday night, October 19 from
4:30-5:30 p.m. if you prefer a face-to face meeting with us. Each committee
member will be in separate rooms for you to choose with whom you are most
comfortable. Committee members will be available in the following rooms:
Stanley Williams
Room 108
Brandon Jamison
Room 113
Amy McFerrin
Room 103
Henry Ward
Room 107
Jill West
Room 122
We know God is hearing the prayers of our church; thank you for making prayer
the priority as we seek God’s man for FBC Tupelo.

CHRISTMAS 2014
Thanks to all parents who attended our meeting on
September 28th. Our online student booklet will be
available for download off of the church website by
October 15th. It will provide you with additional information
about the year ahead. I am excited about everything that
is on the horizon for this year. Signups are now open for
all of our trips. I am glad to incorporate a mission trip this
year for our students. It will take place the week I like to
designate for camp, and I will be releasing more
information on the itinerary in the coming weeks. Ricky
and I will travel to Dallas this month to iron out some of
the details. We will have a retreat in March that will take
the place of our summer camp. We will be heading off to
Fellowship Christian Camp, formerly known as Crows
Neck Environmental Facility. This weekend will be
centered on our students putting their focus on Christ and
taking their relationship with Him to another level.
Preschool choirs and grade school children will lead our congregation
in worship of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We will celebrate His birth. Our
preschoolers will sing special songs of His birth. “An Unplugged
Christmas” will be presented by our Grade School children on
December 7. Lindsey and her friends are excited! Why? The local TV
station is having a contest for “The Biggest, Brightest Christmas Show
Ever” and they are entered to win! They've planned a great show to
impress the secret judge – lots of lights, a rockin' carol medley, and
even a Silent Night light show. However, all goes well until BAM, all
the lights go off! It is in the quiet of a small shining star that they are
reminded that Jesus is the true Light of Christmas! You will not want
to miss this musical by our children… “An Unplugged Christmas”.
This month we will meet at Ballard Park one last time
before the cold weather hits for a devotional and time of
hanging out. There will be Sentinel Training on Saturday,
October 25th at the church for anyone who would like to
earn possible scholarships for upcoming mission trips. I
encourage all of our students who are interested in going
on an FBC mission trip this year to attend this training if
you have not already. The last Wednesday of the month
our church will host its annual Fall Festival at Robins Field.
I hope all of our students will pitch in and help in this
event.
I know it is only October, but we want our people to know of the special
Christmas programs that will take place in December. Believe me, the
time and season will be here before you know it, so take note and invite
someone to these special celebrations of our Lord’s birth.
THREE GIFTS…
Our Christmas Offering
is the title of our Adult Christmas
musical. Our choir and orchestra
will lead the congregation in
worship on Sunday, December 14
at 6:00 p.m. Three gifts, gifts of
great significance: gold, frankincense and myrrh were laid at the
feet of the Christ Child. These
were gifts that could only come
from royal treasures, but the gifts
we bring are of much greater
value to the Lord. My life, my
heart, my praise, all of my desires,
all of my accomplishments, all of
my failures, all of the thanksgiving I can comprehend, all of me, the
surrender of my imagined authority to the Author of all life, the Giver
of every good and perfect gift. Jesus. Messiah. We are praying that
people will experience the Lord through worship as our choir and
orchestra lead us in, “Three Gifts…Our Christmas Offering”.

Thankful
I am writing this in
an airport in Portland, Maine. I am with
a group of men and one lady from FBC
Tupelo as we head home from a week
of construction ministry in central
Maine. I am so thankful for these folks
who have worked really hard to help a
ministry that is bringing light to a dark
part of our country. It is a joy to serve in
a church that has such a passion to be
the hands and feet of Jesus all around
the world. I am thankful for the beautiful
sights we have seen this week. The
leaves here are turning brilliant colors,
and the camp where we have been
working is surrounded by mountains.
God is so creative and we are blessed
to share in the glory of His creation. As
we move toward fall and the change of
seasons at home, we should all be
reminded of God’s goodness and the
privilege we have to serve Him as the
Body of Christ.
Ricky
Reading the Bible Through
Together … This month we are reading
through Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, First and
Second Thessalonians and most of 1 Timothy. Wow!
This is such a meaty part of the New Testament. Paul
writes a word of encouragement and affirmation to the
people of the church at Ephesus. He reminds them
that people are the Church, that God is more powerful
than the powers of this world and that our behavior is
impacted by the work of the Holy Spirit. He tells them
and us that we need to put on the Armor of Christ
every day.
Paul, Silas and Timothy planted the church at Philippi.
Paul is writing to the folks there who are suffering
persecution and some inner struggles as well. Paul
reminds them how important their friendship is to him
and how relationships matter in the Church. He also
gives them some instruction about moral issues. All
the way through the book Paul builds up and
encourages the people of the church to be like Christ
and to serve Him faithfully.
One of Paul’s co-workers, Epaphras, planted the
church at Colossae. Paul had never been there, but
he knew a lot about the believers there. The book is
a reminder to stand firm on the Truth they have been
taught. He shares with them how thankful he is for
them, then reminds them of the truth of the Gospel.
He also reminds them and us that our relationship
with Christ should be reflected in our character and
actions.
I Thessalonians is likely the earliest Christian
document written. The church at Thessalonica is
made up of very young believers, and Paul is writing
to encourage them and build them up as a Christian
community. As you read this book, keep in mind that
Paul is writing to brand new Christians who are just
learning what it means to live for Christ.
2 Thessalonians is not as warm and gentle as the first
letter, but Paul continues to encourage the believers
to continue to live by what he has taught them and not
by what false teachers who are being disruptive in the
church have taught. He reassures the people that
Jesus alone holds the key to the future, that they/we
can trust Him to defeat the enemy in His own timing
and that they need to continue to love one another.
I Timothy is written to Paul’s younger companion as
well as to the church in Ephesus. He spends a good
bit of time encouraging Timothy, who has taken on
some very difficult issues in the church. Paul affirms
Timothy, which likely strengthened his standing with
the church.
The books we read this month are full of truth,
theology, encouragement to live for Christ and
exhortation to stand firm in our faith. Enjoy your
reading. May God bless as you read through these
rich passages of scripture.
