November Newsletter
To the Church Family at Faith Baptist Church,
A few years ago, Dr. Nick Stinnett of the University of Nebraska conducted a group of studies called the "Family Strengths Research Project." Stinnett and his researchers identified six qualities that make for strong families. The first quality, and one of the most important to be found in strong families, was the quality of appreciation. Families that are strong are strong in part, Dr. Stinnett concludes, because family members express to each other their appreciation for what the other members DO and for who they ARE.
At Faith Baptist Church we think of our members as our church family. That is why you will sometimes see “Welcome Home” on our sign or in other places. As a church family, we should show appreciation to each other.
Think of all the people who make it possible for the church to operate. It includes those who: faithfully attend, give their tithes and offerings, encourage other members, teach, lead us in worship, operate the audio visuals, share the gospel with others, serve on teams, go on mission trips, fill shoe boxes, prepare for the socials, minister in the community, take care of administrative duties, prepare this newsletter and other printed material, clean the church, maintain the grounds; the list could go on and on.
As you spend time in giving thanks in this month in which we celebrate Thanksgiving, remember to not just thank God for things but for the people in your life who are a blessing to you. And do remember to be thankful to the Lord Jesus, because it is “from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace” (John 1:16). In his love for us he has given us every blessing and also gave himself on the cross for us. What a wonderful Savior. “Thank you, Jesus, for being so good to us.”
Be sure to join us for our Church Family Dinner on November 12, right after our worship service. We can thank God together for all his goodness to us and enjoy one another. I look forward to seeing you there.
Your Pastor Ken Harmon
