Hi Everyone,
I hope you are staying warm and safe. The warm houses we have are certainly God’s blessing.
Pastor Dave

I would like to have taken these with the sun shining for better effect, but here is why we didn’t have services today … not that anyone needed convincing 🙂

ALL SERVICES AT FAITH FELLOWSHIP CHURCH OF TENNESSEE, IL CANCELED FOR JANUARY 19, 2020

Hi Everyone,
There is no reason to delay a decision. Steve Sowers was just over to the church, and as we suspected everything is covered with a sheet of ice. With the wind increasing and the temperatures falling this will only get worse so we are canceling all services tomorrow.
If you need anything and cannot get out, please give me, Steve or another board member a call and see if we can help.
Sincerely,Pastor Dave

Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow
What a tremendous blessing it is to have another annual meeting “in the books.” Thanks to everyone who helped with the meeting and the sumptuous potluck. Also, thanks to all of you who came out so we could hold our meeting. I believe that God is growing us up together in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. Let’s make it our aim to please him in everything we do in 2020. I have joyful anticipation of the continued mighty working of God in our fellowship.
Pastor Dave

Good Morning to You,
Here is this week’s bulletin. I am not sure yet if we will be able to have services tomorrow. We are going to survey the ice situation at the church this afternoon and then decide. The thought for now is to have church for those who can make it, but if we can’t clear the ice then that probably won’t happen either. Praise God we were able to have our annual meeting last week.
Sincerely,
Pastor Dave

Hi Everyone,
We are looking very good to be able to have all scheduled services tomorrow our Lord willing.

• Sunday School
• Morning Worship
• Potluck fellowship
• Annual Meeting

It seems the precipitation has moved through with very little accumulation. We have a crew meeting at the church tomorrow at 7 am to make sure everything is clear and safe for us when we arrive for a good Lord’s Day. If you would like to help, just show up at 7 am with snow shovel or ice scraper in hand. The guys will be spreading ice melt mostly as there is very little snow to remove.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in the morning. May you be blessed and careful as you travel in.
Sincerely,Pastor Dave

Hi Everyone,
We still hope to have all services tomorrow INCLUDING SUNDAY SCHOOL which I failed to list in the earlier communications. My oversight.
Here is this week’s bulletin.

2020 Here we come!
We will face the winter storm tomorrow with Bibles and crockpots in hand … in Jesus’ name of course!

Hi Everyone,
Unless things change for the worse later this afternoon, we are still on schedule for all tomorrow’s events as planned:

• Morning worship
• Potluck
• Annual meeting

If things worsen and it looks like we have to postpone, we will let you know as soon as possible. Looking forward to a good day tomorrow in our Lord’s name. Amen. Please plan on being there so we can take care of necessary things as we continue to move into a new year of opportunities to worship and serve. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Pastor Dave

• (2 Corinthians 5:6–10 ESV) So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, ⁷ for we walk by faith, not by sight. ⁸ Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. ⁹ So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. ¹⁰ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
