WHAT'S HAPPENING AT BARNESVILLE FIRST BAPTIST?

Garth Forster, Senior Pastor

FROM THE SHEPHERD’S HEART

Our SPRING REVIVAL opened on a strong note with a total Bible Study attendance of 600, including 450 at our 9:45 and 150 at our 11:00 hour. I want to especially commend our 11:00 Sunday School for their best attendance in several years! Thanks to our Contemporary Praise Team for leading us in worship at that service. Thanks to Greg and our Blended Praise Team for singing for us in the early and late services. Thanks to Carly Thompson and our Sanctuary Choir for their beautiful anthem, “Love Has Come,” at our early and late services. Thanks to Ashley Monroe for her solo, “Your Life for Mine”. And thanks to Laura Callaway and our Choir for their moving rendition of “Send Me” in the evening service. A special thanks to Jerry Haas, Missions Pastor at Prince Avenue Baptist Church, for being with us in revival!

We were thrilled to see several folks join our church on the opening Sunday of our revival. Shad Russell, son of Billy and Stacey, came on profession of faith and for baptism at the end of the Traditional Service. In addition, Ted and Wendy Jones also came on profession of faith and for baptism at the end of the Contemporary Service. We welcome all into the Fellowship of Love.

A special thanks goes to Beth Ogletree and Dee Kitchings for putting together the GEORGIA FAN RECEPTION after the service on Sunday evening. Thanks for a good crowd and some good food during this special time of fellowship. We gave away the Mark Richt autographed football and pictures, and Phillip Bell brought his bulldog puppy, Sugar Plum, who was a delight to adults and children alike!

The UPWARD BANQUET went very well last Friday evening. Thanks to Jimmy Fambro for cooking a great meal and all who helped in serving, setting up and cleaning up. The speaker, Roger McCurry, did a great job sharing the Gospel through illusions. Thanks to Emily Meadows and all who helped her have a great Upward season!

Thanks to all those who participated in “BUCKETS OF HOPE” for the people of Haiti. The buckets will soon be leaving Macon and on their way to Miami for shipment to Haiti. In addition, we still have “Bread Loaf Banks” for WORLD HUNGER that can be picked up in the gym. The filled banks are due back by Wednesday evening, March 24^th.

This coming Sunday evening, the A cappella Choir from Carson Newman College will be with us at 6:30. Sunday morning I will be returning to our series on the Book of Acts called CHURCH GOD’S WAY. We’ll be looking at the first part of chapter 6 in a message called “Priorities in Ministry: Then and Now.” I’ll look for you this Sunday! Come EXPECTANTLY!

I Love You, Garth
