A Study in Romans

Our study in Romans continues this Sunday at Fellowship Chapel. Come join us beginning with Discovery Time and Family Life Fellowship beginning at 9:30 am with coffee and study time. Stick around for family worship and Scripture Adventure for the 5-8 year olds that will focus their attention to worship and growing in HIS Word! We count it a blessing to share Christ with each of you and truly hope that you will celebrate Jesus with us each and every Sunday at the Lifehouse by the Firehouse~

FLF Update

Friends of FLF ....
 
We have been having a great time together on Sunday mornings studying God's word together.  We are continuing our study of "Worship, Finding meaning in Life".  We have covered " Regaining a sense of Wonder" and will continue with "Truth", "Love", and "Security" as we study how Worship is the clue to meaning in Life.  This is a life changing study with practical applications to Christian Living and ways that Husbands & Wives can encourage one another.  I invite you to join us on Sunday mornings during Discovery Time at 9:30 am.
 
 
Prayer and Share will be schedule in the next few days for October ... I will send out an Email as soon as the Date, Place & Time is decided.
 
This weekend is Bob Scheihing's Black Rock Couples retreat.  Several FLF couples will be going this year and they include Tim & Fon, Duane & Val, Matt & Courtney and Nate and Rachel.  Please be in prayer for God's blessing to fall on this event.
 
This Sunday .... As Tim & Fon will be away at the couples retreat .... we will have a guest speaker in our Discovery Time, so plan to be there this Sunday.
 
 
 
In the Love of Christ .....  Tim & Fon

Fall Harvest Festival Sunday 3pm til ....

Good day everyone!

 

We are having a wonderful break in the rainy weather and it is a great time to serve, honor, and praise our Lord in the great outdoors.  Tomorrow is a BIG day for Fellowship Chapel and I hope you have made plans to be apart of it.  Invite your neighbors, friends, family, and any strangers to join in on the fun.  We will have music with Refuge in concert, games, food, contests, door prizes, pony & hay rides along with a great message of hope from our Chapel to everyone in attendance.  DO NOT let this opportunity for outreach pass you by.  This is perfect time, season and reason for inviting those you know who may need Jesus to see what this Christian life is all about!  Take a moment to invite someone….this may be your chance to make a mark in their lives that will never be forgotten!

 

Praise Him….Serve Him…Love Him……..through fellowship with our family tomorrow starting with Discovery Time and ending with the Fall Festival tomorrow afternoon!

 

See you in the PUMPKIN PATCH!!!!

 

God Bless!

Pastor Mike's weekly email

Dear family at and friends of FC,
 

"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven."

Ecclesiastes 3:1

 
As the seasons change I am always reminded of this powerful verse. May we, as the season changes, increasingly be changed into the image of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
As we approach this weekend, I want to strongly encourage you to participate in our Sunday events! We will start our pastoral exposition of Romans in Family Worship at 10:30. This will truly be a life changing encounter with Christ in His Word. You will not want to miss one message. Also, we will be having our "Harvest Festival" that afternoon at 3:00. It will be a great time for us to grow in our relationships with one another and those in our community. This is an "outreach" event so please join us as we gather together and make ourselves and our message known. Also, we still need volunteers to partner with us. Again, please do not miss this event!
 
So, be in prayer for this Sunday, 10/10/10, as we plan and prepare, and come expecting Jesus Christ, by the Spirit, to do a life changing work in your life!
 
I love you!
Pastor Mike

Also, on Monday, October 11, Art Wunner is celebrating his 90th birthday. It would be an encouragement to him and a nice birthday surprise, if he received many cards from his church family.

Harvest Festival Volunteer meeting Sunday

I am requesting a brief meeting after Morning Worship for anyone who is interested in volunteering to work the Harvest Festival next week.  If you could sign up or show up after service, I would greatly appreciate any assistance.  Sally T has the game prizes in hand, pumpkins ordered, and we have door prizes galore to get the ball rolling.  We need your assistance to make this all work and I know you’ll come through.  We will meet in the front of the auditorium by the piano.  Thanks and hope to see you each tomorrow.

 

God Bless,

Email from the Shews in India - Thank you for your prayers!


 


Dear Pastor Mike and members of Fellowship Chapel,

 

With all our hearts, Adam and I send you the deepest of thanks for all your fervent prayers for our health.  Adam said he has never been so sick in all his life.  It was scary to see him hold his head in his hands and audibly moan, fighting a fever that refused to submit to any medication!  Dengue definitely seems to be a virus that he said he would not wish upon anyone.  I know the Mathews certainly have seen the worst of it so they know first hand how debilitating it can be.

 

Through all my Florence Nightingale days I felt so strong and sustained and I honestly attribute it to the prayers of the saints!  When Brandon fell sick, it took much faith to trust the Lord, and again, I believe He had nothing short of mercy because our little boy was showing ALL the typical symptoms; yet in two days he was perfectly fine and back to his old self!  For once I did not complain about his relentless energy - but I'm back there again!  Adam is so much better and his associate just started work again today.   Just another answer to prayer.

 

Adam's mom's calls were such a comfort, and she always reassured us of prayer which really helped!  We so appreciated the calls and her putting us on the prayer chain.  We are so amazed how the Lord always works things out for a beautiful purpose and we were so touched to see and be at the receiving end of care and concern from our church family here in Delhi and all the incredible prayer support from you - it has been such a blessing!

 

We send much love and thanks remembering all we whom we met while we were with you…please tell Bonnie and her daughter, thanks for the CPR classes, it boosted my confidence but I'm so pleased I didn't have to put it to use - at least not yet!

 

May the Lord continue to bless and use you all for His glory,

 

Adam, Probhita, Ria and Brandon


Email from the Mathews - Larry enroute


 


Larry is on his way back to Indonesia from Germany. He sounded excited every time we were in contact, so I think it was good. I look forward to hearing more details when he's back in country and can skype with us.

Next he overnights in Jakarta, meets up with one of our media team and they go to Kupang to dub the Luke video for the H people. The material said it should take a couple weeks, but his discussions with folks at the conference in Germany suggests that that is extremely optimistic.

Pray for Larry and Nahum as they begin recording, and the coordinators who are lining up the voice talent, helping them practice reading with expression, and addressing other details.

On the home front we need rain.

Thanks again for partnering with us!
