Students

So glad to be back in the land of the living this week as over the weekend I was not well. I’d like to thank those of you who stepped up in my time of “rest” to fill in the few holes that existed. First, my wife Crystal, who has stepped up and took care of my immediate needs along with taking on full responsibility with the kids and so much more. She is a true blessing and warrior who God has set aside for His mission of the pastor’s wife. It takes a true warrior for such a ministry. Thanks to Adam Snyder and Pat Rickenbrode for teaching Sunday School and keeping roll and Hiram Clark for taking on the closing prayer Sunday morning.

Breakfast of Champions was a huge success, as we had more than 300 points of contact with students in our school system. These contacts may seem minor in the short term, but they have huge implications on the future of our church and the extended Church. Many of you sacrificed sleep, work, and time to make this happen.  We literally fed the very last student with the very last pancake. God provided the loaves and fishes right before our very eyes. God is good, and God provides for our needs. This is very evident if we take a step back, look and see that He has always done the providing.
 
Next Wednesday the 26th, students will all gather around their school campus flag pole for See You At The Pole (S.Y.A.T.P). This is an annual gathering of students throughout the nation, to pray for their schools. Community is certainly welcome to attend, and I encourage you to do just that at the campus of your choice. That evening at 6:30 p.m. our students will join other students from across the community at Common Ground Church in a joint Wednesday night service. We will meet at the FBC about 6:15 p.m. and drive over, however you are certainly welcome to just meet us at Common Ground. We will deliver the student back to FBC around 8:00 p.m. to be picked up or you may of course pick up your student at Common Ground.

Be Intentional,
Aaron
