We have groups going to serve alongside our Acts 1:8 partners in Cary, Mississippi; Birmingham, Alabama and Statesboro, Georgia. We will host our first groups of volunteers to work with Samaritan’s Purse in the ongoing disaster rebuild project. Later this month we will complete our tenth season of ministering to the children of our community through Upward Basketball. And the following week we will host our semi-annual Lil’ Blessings Consignment sale. March will be a busy month! Please continue to pray for our search committee as they continue the search for our next worship pastor. I have had the privilege of meeting and praying with them over the last several weeks, and I want to invite you to join us in some specific prayer: Pray for wisdom, discernment and direction for the committee. Pray that God will prepare the person he desires to join our staff here at FBC. And pray for our church family that we will be ready to receive the person God sends our way. In the mean time we are happy to welcome Rob Thomas to lead us in worship. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Rob, his wife Buffy, and their daughter Abby over the last several weeks. I know that Rob appreciates your words of encouragement and your participation in worship. Please continue to lift this family up in prayer as well. This coming Sunday morning I will continue our Gospel Centered Life series from Mark’s gospel as we look at a plan to handle failure. Then, on Sunday night we continue our Life on the Edge series from Joshua as we look at courage. Thank you for your prayer and encouragement as I prepare and proclaim God’s word each week.
