I usually put Monday's date on the blog but Sunday was 10-10 so I couldn't resist! Its been a good week in CaliMO and the weather has been beautiful. The trees are changing and the leaves are falling. I am not excited about the freezing cold winter around the corner but I am enjoying this fall season.
Just as the leaves are changing so are things changing at FBC. Kyle Ward the new minister of youth had his first week at FBC. I think he may have been a little overwhelmed but all went well. The transition time will be crazy, but with God's plan it will all work out wonderfully.
Since it is October and Halloween is approaching FBC will be hosting a "trunk or treat" on halloween evening in the parking lot. If you have any interest in decorating a trunk and handing out candy to adorable kids then bring your car around 4pm and have some fun! If you have any young siblings or neices or nephews this would be a great event to bring them too!
There will be an africa meeting this Sunday that we have been talking about, it has been changed to 3pm to accomadate everyone better. If you are unable to attend the meeting it will be recorded and put on DVD's for anyone who wants the information but isn't able to be there. Just let me know and I'll send you a copy. It will be packed with information so would encourage anyone who has a slight interest to attend. I would love it if you would attend and bring it to your college groups or church that you are attending to join as a prayer partner for this mission! If any of you would be willing to do that it would be WONDERFUL!
At FBC we have also begun rehearsals for the Christmas musical. Can you believe that Christmas is right around the corner?
We are always planning and preparing things with God's lead in hopes of bringing more to Christ and growing Christians deeper in his love! If you have any ministry ideas and thoughts please share them!
I greatly appreciate the comments and look forward to reading more!
Many Prayers and Blessings - Dawn

FBC Week 10-04
Can you believe that it is October? I can hardly believe it myself!! I have been in denial that summer is over but I think it is finally time to face it that fall is here and winter is approaching! I hope you are all well as you are in full blown college work. Probably have papers and books up to your ears! I do not envy you.. but "this too shall pass" :)
Anyway, an exciting week as always at FBC! We officially have a new youth minister - Kyle Ward went on the staff officially on the 1st and will experience his first Wednesday night at FBC Calimo tomorrow! He will either leave excited, overwhelmed, or exhausted! Who knows maybe all 3! Can you remeber your first time at youth group?? This last week we talked about how many people see church as a place of judgement and full of hyprocits. Any thoughts on that?? We also talked about how as a Christian you should be Changed.. you should be changed. Do you think you have let God change you? Are you different today then you were last year? Always good to evaluate ourselves and ask if we are producing good fruit or bad fruit! I hope that you are all able to find a place to grow and challeng yourself in your walk with the Lord wherever you are. Often change is uncomfortable but God has a purpose in it all!
Also we have scheduled a very important Africa meeting! We will meet Sunday the 17th at 2pm. It will be a very important meeting for anyone who thinks they might ever Go, pray for, fundraise, or support the Africa missions. If you fall under any of those categories I would really encourage you to make it to this meeting! If you absolutely can't make the meeting but want some info let me know and I will get it to you!
There are lots of other good things happening at FBC! The senior adults are always on a new adventure, the adult ministries are growing and becoming more in depth then ever, the children are multiplying by the minute it seems, and the hispanic ministry is thriving as well! In saying all of that I would love to ask for you to pray for a few things for the FBC church family.
1- Pray for the transition of our new youth minister
2 - Pray for our pastor Greg as he always carries a heavy burden and wants to always be leading God's way
3 - Pray for the other staff members as they make decisions for the good of the church family
4 - pray for the people in the church that we wouldn't be a church that puts our "christian card" in our back pocket for when needed, but would be a church that is seeking God!
5 - Pray for the people who come in contact with any FBC church member, that they would see God's love in them!
Also please let us know how we could pray for you! Would love any comments and would love to hear from you!
Prayers Always - Dawn
