I wanted to send out a quick reminder about this upcoming Sunday, November 5. As we begin the Envision 20/20 Capital Stewardship Campaign, we will have worship outside under a tent at 10:30. The service will end around 11:30, and then we will eat lunch together. I am excited about us worshiping outside, and it reminds me of Psalm 19:1-2, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge." Being outside for worship is truly special.
A couple of practical things to keep in mind about Sunday. We want everyone to be a part of this special occasion, and this means we will not have nursery or childcare. Don't panic! If your child needs to get up and walk around, you can take them behind the tent, and you will still be able to hear. I have been keeping an eye on the weather, and it looks like it is going to be a beautiful day. I would still bring jacket/coat just in case you get cool.
In addition, we had a minor miscommunication, and something in the bulletin this past Sunday was incorrect. Prayer is imperative in the upcoming process we are moving through. If you want to receive the prayer guide daily by text, you need to text 81010. The message part should be "@fbcjpray." You will then be prompted to answer a couple of questions. They are simple questions; like your name.
One more quick note. We are partnering with several churches this year to be part of the Community Thanksgiving Meal. If you want to volunteer to help, you can register at www.onecity.city. Registration begins November 1, at 8:00am.
In Christ,
Mark Smith, Pastor of FBC Jacksonville, AR
