“ALL SYSTEMS GO” – services tomorrow at FFC … Yay!

Hello Everyone,

And thanks for your prayers. It looks like the Lord is going to allow us to have services tomorrow. That is great. The plan is to have everything except evening service.

1. Sunday School @ 9:30 am

2. Morning Worship @ 10:30 am

3. Fellowship dinner shortly after MW

4. Annual meeting after fellowship dinner

5. No evening service

Please pray that we will have a quorum so we can conduct the Lord’s business for our church and step into the new year.

If you need a ride or assistance in some other way, please let Pastor Dave or someone else on the board know.

Sincerely,

Pastor Dave

No church tomorrow – January 20, 2019

All services canceled for January 20, 2019

Hi Everyone,
No church tomorrow—January 20, 2019. Lord willing, we will have services next week and our annual meeting. This is a first for me; church canceled for two Sundays in a row but it is the best decision with the high winds and the bitter cold. Hopefully you got stocked up on supplies before the weather hit. If you need help, please call me (Pastor Dave) or one of the other board members. 

Here are our announcements for this week:

  • All church services canceled tomorrow.
  • Next Sunday am: Hebrews 12 study.
  • Next Sunday: Please join us for our fellowship dinner and then our annual meeting following the morning worship service.
  • No Sunday evening service next week

Congratulations to Dave & Jenny! 

  • Abigail Lida Crabb is home and doing very well. And so is mommy!
  • Meals for the Crabb family: Please talk to Kerry if you would like to help with this opportunity to help Dave, Jenny and their three girls. Best time to deliver meals is late afternoon. 
  • February 2: It’s a girl! Baby Shower for Jenny Crabb at Kerry Scott’s house @ 3pm on the first Saturday in February. Please see your invitation for more information.

Sincerely,
Pastor Dave

Wednesday prayer meeting at the Scott’s

Hi Everyone,
With the heavy snow and more to come, we are not going to worry about having everything cleared at the church before Wednesday prayer meeting. So we (Pastor Dave & Kerry) are inviting you to our house for prayer meeting. We have plenty of room in the driveway for eight cars anyway. Make sure as you come that you pull up to the garage and close to the car in front of you; this should accommodate everyone. Don’t worry about blocking us in; we’re not going anywhere. 
I will have the fireplace going, and we will serve hot tea and decaf coffee. (I am going to tell Kerry not to feed you because then you will keep coming back; kind of like feeding a stray.) But other than that please join us in the coziness of the fireplace and the warmth of our great God in a time of prayer and fellowship.
Sincerely,Pastor Dave
PS If you need access to the church, I have cleared the sidewalks and the steps and porch area. But there are no parking spaces cleared.

No church at FFC tomorrow …

NO CHURCH TOMORROW – JANUARY 13, 2019

Hi Everyone,

The weather outside is frightful. I hope you are inside where it is delightful. We are canceling church tomorrow, January 13, and postponing our annual meeting until next week, January 20. We already have several inches of accumulation and the snow is supposed to continue until about 9 tonight.

Lord willing next weekend will look better and we can have church and the annual meeting.

Also … I will not be able tomorrow to draw our attention to “what happened on this day in 2013”? What was that? You voted and officially called Kerry and me to pastor God’s lovely flock at Faith Fellowship Church of Tennessee, Illinois. Six years. Can you believe it? What a blessing you have been. Look forward to seeing you next week.

In the Love of Jesus Our Savior, Jesus Son of God,

Pastor Dave
