Reflections

of Bro. Bryan

A Note from

Bro. Woody Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth,

and the life. No one comes to the Father except

through Me. Consider how different Jesus’

words are from the popular idea that there are

many ways to Heaven. According to Jesus, there

are no other “ways” to Heaven, He is the ONLY

way. I’m sure you’ve heard that many, many

times but don’t let your familiarity with it

lose its truth and power. Stop and thank God

for providing forgiveness and eternal life

through His Son. He didn’t have to, He wanted

to because He loves you.

We will continue our JESUS series this Sun-

day. In Luke 4, we read Jesus was teaching in

the Synagogue. At first the crowd was amazed

at His reading and teaching and then they got

angry and attempted to kill Him. Wow, Jesus’

ministry was just beginning and His life was al-

ready in danger. Actually, His life was in danger

right after His birth. Pray for God to speak and

for a moving of the Holy Spirit this Sunday

morning. And as you pray, pray believing!

Sunday, October 14, is Men’s Day!! We will

start off with breakfast in the gym at

8:00am. Our deacons will be cooking up eggs,

bacon, biscuits, maybe some grits, (did I say ba-

con?). There might even be some pancakes on

the griddle. After breakfast, Woody will corral

us into the sanctuary and get us ready to sing as a

men’s choir in the morning worship ser-

vice. Guys, let’s fill the choir loft and raise our

voices to the Lord!! If you can’t carry a tune, no

worries, come join us anyway. It will be some

good fellowship and I pray worship will be

sweet as we raise our voices to the Lord.

GOD IS FAITHFUL!

A Page from

Jim’s Journal

Each year at this time, we have a couple of opportuni-

ties to be a blessing to children in our church, day

school, community, and around the world.

The first is our Fall Festival on October 31st. This is a

time of games, food, and fellowship where we can

reach out to the children and their families. We need

individuals, couples, families, and Sunday school

classes to volunteer at a game, help serve food, greet

our guests, take pictures, and just be the church as we

interact with them. We need candy to be handed out at

the games (drop the candy off in the tubs in the gym)

and desserts for the cake walk (drop desserts off on the

31st in the kitchen). There are signup sheets in the

foyer to volunteer to serve during the Fall Festival and

to bring desserts. There is no charge and we encourage

you to invite unchurched families and friends. There

will many here that night that do not have a relation-

ship with Jesus or a church home. This is a great op-

portunity to share with them what God is doing in and

through FBC Jasper.

The second opportunity is

Operation Christmas Child.

As in years past, we are ask-

ing individuals, Sunday

school classes and families to

participate in this mission

opportunity during the month of November. Our goal

will be 100 boxes to collect as a church. The boxes will

be available the first of November and we ask anyone

wanting to help in this mission project to grab a box or

two or three and fill them with the items suggested.

We ask that everyone brings their shoeboxes to church

on Sunday, November 12th as we spend time in prayer

for the people delivering the boxes and for those who

will receive them prior to taking them to the local col-

lection site the following week.

There will be gift suggestion lists for the different ages

in the foyer as well as other printable items that can

be used to make your boxes more personal. Please

pray and ask God how He wants you to be involved as

we become the hands and feet of Jesus during these

mission opportunities. If you have any questions, do

not hesitate to talk with me. God bless!!!
