2011 JANUARY 1 THE FAIRVIEWAN

My beloved members,

Happy New Year to all of you! I hope that you have

enjoyed the holidays and are ready to face this new year with

renewed hope.

“Yesterday is already a dream,

and tomorrow is only a vision,

but today, well lived,

makes every yesterday a dream

of happiness and

every tomorrow a

vision of hope.”

- Author Unknown—

Will your yesterdays be dreams fulfilled and your tomorrows full of hope? As

you make your New Year’s resolutions, I hope you will determine to live each

day to its fullest. Do not dwell on the past or count on the future. Ask yourself

daily, “What would God have me do today?” and “How would Jesus handle

this?”

I am full of enthusiasm as we embark upon a new year as a church family.

As we reflect upon the past year, remembering our accomplishments and our

less than fulfilling moments as a Church Family, I encourage all of you to look to

the future, set goals that fit your beliefs, and “press toward the mark for the prize

of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14). The present tense

verb translated I press on denotes Paul’s continued effort to “pursue the

impossible dream and defeat the unbeatable foe.”

In the race of life we concentrate on the path and we forget as we run. We may store

our achievements in our memory, but we do not allow them to slow us in our present

running. We may take them from our memory storehouse on occasion, but we do not

rest on our laurels, but to be energized for the race ahead.

Fairview, let us never forget the goal of the Christian race, “the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

Let us ask God for His strength, guidance and direction for the year 2011, and

pray as Amy Carmichael once prayed.

“Make us thy mountaineers,

We would not linger on the lower slope,

Fill us afresh with hope, Oh God of hope,

That undefeated we may climb the hill

As seeing Him who is invisible.”

May we always be aware of the presence of “Him who is invisible!”

WITH JESUS CHRIST?

If you believe in your heart that Jesus Is Lord, the Christ,

the Savior, the Son of the Living God, and you are willing to

turn from sin to God, then receive Jesus Christ now by faith

and pray this prayer:

Lord Jesus I am a sinner. Forgive me of all my sins, come into my heart

and save me. I do now confess you as my risen Lord.

Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. AMEN

But He saves the needy from the sword, From the mouth of the mighty, and from

their hand, and injustice shuts her mouth. So the poor have hope, and injustice

shuts her mouth. (Job 5:15-16)

THERESA KIRKLIN, MINISTRY LEADER


Fairview’s 30th Annual Prayer Bowl was held on New Year’s

Eve, December 31, from 6pm to 12:30am The event was well

attended with what I estimate to be crowds from 500 to 900 in

attendance at each of the hour long sessions.

The congregation throughout the long night was enthusiastic

and each messenger was equally enthusiastic in their messag-

es from heaven that God had given to them.

Fairview’s Praise Team set the tone for the evening with a

spirited devotional praise period.

Pastor Kelly Booker from the New Union Baptist Church was

the first of six messengers and he stirred the attendees with a

message that he entitled “Shaking Things Up,” using Acts

16:25-26 as his text. God shook things up appearing in the

form of an earthquake at the midnight hour, freeing Paul and

Silas from their shackles and the Roman Prison and Jailors

that held them captive. Instead of bemoaning their plight,

they prayed and sang praises to the God who is worthy of all

of our praise. God rewards faithfulness and Paul and Silas

received their rewards.

The Guest Evangelist, and a close confidant of Pastor Reed’s

in the ministry was the speaker

at the 7pm hour. Rev. R. L.

Sanders from Fort Worth, Tex-

as, went to the Old Testament

book of Ezekiel and lifted a

beautifully crafted message

from chapter 3, verses 1-3,

that he entitled “Eat This

Roll.” The “Roll” was actual-

ly a scroll that was filled with

messages that God wanted Ezekiel to go to preach to a hard-

hearted people of Israel. God told Ezekiel that they would

understand the language that he would deliver the message in,

but because of their hard-heartedness, they would not listen to

nor accept the message. Ezekiel did as God commanded him

to do and again was rewarded for his obedience and faithful-

ness.

Pastor K. Gerone Free, from the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church

spoke during the 8m hour. I have heard Pastor Free preach on

several occasions, but this time he appeared more powerful

than ever. From the Gospel of John 8:2-11, he told the story

of the woman who was accused of adultery and chose the in-

triguing title of “Neither Do I Condemn You.” Pastor Free

had the entire house in an uproar as he related how Jesus once

again foiled his tormentors, who were intent on trapping Him

into sinfulness. Jesus challenged them by saying that, “he

that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her”.

Not one of them qualified to cast a stone and soon she stood

alone before Jesus. “Jesus asked her, woman where are your

accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, no man

Lord. Jesus said unto her, neither do I condemn thee; go and

sin no more.”

One of my favorite preachers was the messenger at the 9pm

hour. From the Saint John Missionary Baptist Church, Pastor

Major Lewis Jemison was his indomitable self with a message

from on high that he entitled “When Where You Are Seems

Like Hell.” Read Jonah 2:1-2 and you can quickly see

where his inspiration for the title of his message derived from.

Pastor Jemison is a powerful speaker and he was in rare form

that night. He admires Pastor Reed and that admiration is

displayed each time he stands behind the sacred desk at the

Fairview Church.

Rev. Dr. Levi Lenley delivered a ringing message on “The

Enhancement of the Human Mentality,” Ephesians 1:18-

20. Verse 17, says “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the

Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and

revelation in the knowledge of Him.” Understanding the spir-

it of his wisdom, enables us to fully grasp the complete under-

standing of what his death at Calvary means to our spiritual

well being.

One of Pastor Reed’s sons in the ministry, and another of my

favorite proclaimers of the Gospel, the Angel and Pastor of

the Greater Bethel Baptist Church, filled the last spot in the

lineup. Rev. Terron V. Gaddis was at his exhorting, fiery, and

powerful best as he rung in the New Year with a declaration

that “God Knows What He is Doing.” Romans 8:28-29 was

his stated text, but the message is found in verse 28 where the

Apostle Paul declares that “We know that all things work to-

gether for good to them that love God, to them who are called

according to his purpose.” Paul also declares in Romans 9:24

that “Even us, whom he hath called not of the Jews only, but

also of the Gentiles.”

Each of the messengers brought full choirs or a musical aggre-

gation to accompany them, with the exception of Pastor Sand-

ers from Fort Worth. The Fairview JR Inspirational Choir

provided the musical support for him. The music enhanced

the messages from on high given by the messengers.

Sister Willa Nero and the Culinary Ministry deserve kudos

for providing physical food to the large gathering throughout

the entire evening. They did a masterful job as usual.

At the concluding hour, we all sang a hymn and went out to

await the occasion of the 31st Annual Prayer Bowl on Decem-

ber 31, 2011.

The Ministry returns from the vacation/holiday

period ready to resume the work of the King-

dom, which plentifully lies before them. Our

prayer is that we will be of greater service dur-

ing this year which the Lord, by His grace and

mercy, has allowed us to be a part of. We

thank God that we have a chance once more to

be co-laborers with Him and once again get

those things right that we failed to get right dur-

ing the past year.

Men, we remind you once again to pray for

those who are standing in the need of prayer.

Lets remember to pray for the sick and afflicted,

the bereaved, and those who are in need of

God’s Special blessings.

My Personal prayer is that God will move in the

hearts of each of you to allow you to be of

greater service and become actively involved in

the activities of the Ministry. Our meeting date

is each Second (2nd) Wednesday of the month at

6 PM. We will not meet this month for this is

the evening of our Super Prayer Meeting and we

will be actively involved in that. I ask each of

you to be present that evening and give your

support to our Prayer Ministry as we invoke

God’s blessings upon all mankind. As our

Prayer Coordinator, First Lady Pat Reed, says,

“It begins and ends with prayer.” Prayer is the

key to the Kingdom, but faith unlocks the door

to the Kingdom. God rewards faithfulness and

I want to be the recipient of those rewards.

Scripture for the Month: Delight thyself also

in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires

of thine heart. Psalms 37:4

FAIRVIEW BAPTIST CHURCH DRAMA MINISTRY

PRESENTS

THE CHRISTMAS STORY IN SCRIPTURE-SONG-DANCE

On December 19, 2010, the Drama Ministry

offered us their version of the birth of our Lord

and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The play was narrated by Bro. Bob Simmons re-

telling the “Christmas Story.” The congregation

began by singing, “Joy to the World.” Then the

scripture was read, describing the day Jesus was

born to Mary and Joseph (played by Sis. LaRhesa

and Bro. Dedrick Marsh).

On this day a child is born and the hymn, “O Little

Town of Bethlehem,” was sung by the

JR Junior Choir. The scripture was

read by the narrator describing the

visit of “The Three Kings” (Bro.

Ardis Franklin, Bro. Larry Epps, and

Bro. Ron Coffey), who boldly sung

the hymn, “We Three Kings of Orient Are.”

The scripture was read by the narrator describing

baby Jesus and the hymn, “Away in a Manger”

was softly sung by Bro. James Tobler. The Ladies

of LIFT presented a praise dance to Mahalia

Jackson’s powerful musical arrangement of “The

Lord’s Prayer.” Scripture was read of King

Herod’s desire to kill the baby. The

Angel (Sis. Laila Marsh) then

appeared and warned Mary and Joseph

of King Herod (Mark Johnson). Praise

Dance group, “In Touch With the Spirit,” danced

for us.

The program was closed out with the hymn,

“Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” Closing

remarks and benediction were given by Sunday

School Director Bro. Ron Coffey. Additional

remarks were made by Hattie Marsh, Drama

Ministry Director.

Thanks to all who participated and made this

production possible!
