SUNDAY EVENINGS: We desire to minister to more people on Sunday evenings. Over the past two years, the Sunday Evening Service has effectively ministered to about 75 people on a consistent basis. This means there are over 200 Sunday morning people not being ministered through the Sunday evening format. Therefore, Sunday evening’s ministries will have a different format starting tonight.

The 6:30PM Sunday Evening Service will continue in the Worship Center. Pastor Jeff will be leading Life On Mission over the next four weeks. There is a $9 devotional guide that can go along with this study on personal evangelism. Meets in the Worship Center

Added to the Sunday Evening Service, “Focus Groups” will meet at 6:30PM. There are small groups based on various subjects addressing specific needs. Three topics have been chosen for this fall:

Financial Peace University – 9 sessions. This course will teach you how to strengthen your personal financial skills, including how to get out of debt. Facilitators are Steve Wood and John James. The cost is $93 per single/couple. There are scholarships available. Meets in the Lounge.

Stepping Up – 10 sessions. This Focus Group is for MEN who want help stepping up and courageously leading at home, at church, at work, and in their communities. The study gives men vision and tools to live godly, courageous lives. The workbook cost $15. Facilitator: Tim Heald. Meets in the Founders Room.

Grow – This Focus Group will give millennials (geared to teens) practical tools and motivation for Loving God and Loving Others – Facilitator: Pastor Dave. Meets in the Teen Basement

Note: Choir will practice from 5 – 6:15PM. Choir practice will take priority over other Sunday evening meetings.

WELCOME: Thank you for joining us today! Today starts our Fall schedule. Awana starts Wednesday, Youth Group moves to starting at 6:30PM, and Sunday evenings are taking on a fresh approach to ministering to people. (See the back cover for the options and locations). Our doctrine has not changed. We hope today and our Fall ministry season will be a blessing to you!

HONORED GUESTS: You may be visiting, but we want you to feel like family. Family members care about each other. As such, how can we pray for you? Would you please fill out a communication card, including how we can pray for you and/or your family? We have experienced God answering prayer. We have a team of people who would like to be praying for you. For your convenience, we have attached a communication card as part of this bulletin. Fill it out, tear it off and hand it to an usher, put the card in the offering plate when it is passed, drop it off at the welcome center, or hand it to a pastor.

THE HOUSE – SEPTEMBER 19, 7-9PM: Our Young Adults did three “Hot Summer Nights” in a coffeehouse-like environment. They will continue meeting once a month, but with summer ending, it will be known as “The House.” Dan Mason (302) 563-8250 coordinates the program and Mark Hoffman (484) 643-6190 coordinates the logistics. The House has become the center point of our Young Adult ministry.

OCTOBER 11 – FRIEND DAY AND FALL FESTIVAL: Sunday, October 11, will be a great opportunity for guests to check out Faith Baptist Church. We will start the day with a 10AM Friend Day service with guest speaker, Don Lough, Executive Director of Word of Life. Illusionist Jeremy Biesecker will be in Jr. Church and then doing afternoon evangelistic presentations. (No Sunday School). Fall Festival will start after the morning service until 5PM. We will block off the back road and use our parking lot for guests. More details in next week’s bulletin. There will be no regular evening service or Focus Groups on Oct. 11.

SUNDAY SCHOOL: John Thomas' Sunday School Class has begun a study in the Old Testament Book of Zechariah. A faithful group had returned from Babylon in hope of rebuilding their land and reinstituting Godly worship. At first things looked promising but soon the people became discouraged. The questions that haunted them are similar to the questions we ask ourselves today: Why was God silent? Had God forgotten them? Would God keep His Word? All are welcome to join us.

LADIES BIBLE STUDIES: The Tuesday Morning Ladies Bible Study is resuming this Tuesday at 9:15AM at the home of Denise Burroughs and is studying "Seamless: Understanding the Bible as One Complete Story" by Angie Smith. See Sara Hocking for details. The Tuesday Night Ladies Bible study meets at 7PM at the home of Belinda Willard and is studying Hosea: Unfailing Love Changes Everything by Jennifer Rothschild, a 7-week study. Contact Karen Heald at (302) 545-2857 or karen.h.heald@gmail.com if you would like to participate.
