WEEK OF AUGUST 18 2010

Church Family-

The past few Sundays have been so special in our church On

August 8 we unanimously called Jim and Kim Carey to be our

Minister of Music and Senior Adults I know yoursquove been praying

about this for some time now I ask you to continue to pray for the

Careys and for the church theyrsquoll be leaving The Careys will be joining us in the

middle of September

I hope yoursquore planning to join us this Sunday evening at Lyman Lake We always

have a great time If you havenrsquot already give us a call and let us know yoursquoll be

coming so yoursquoll have a piece of chicken If you forgetI guess Irsquoll share mine Next

Sunday August 29 will be our next First Joy That will be a busy afternoon and

evening There will be an orientation for the parents of preschoolers and children

at 430 PM in the fellowship hall then First Joy at 6 PM in the sanctuary followed

by a time of fellowship and refreshments Itrsquos a very important night so be sure to

be with us

In our series Inside The Magic Kingdom Seven Keys to Disneyrsquos Success we last

considered the idea that Everyone must walk the talk Slightly different this time is

the idea that Everything must walk the talk In other words our church facilities

our ministries our services our parking lot our signs absolutely everything we

have and do must communicate our message First Baptist Lyman One Lord One

Fellowship One Purpose We exist to love God and love others This adds integrity

to the mission It makes it more than ldquolip servicerdquo We need to prayerfully

consider everything we do and how we do it in the days ahead Join me in working

to ensure that Everything walks the talk

I love you all Itrsquos an awesome time to be a part of what God is doing Wersquore

working prayerfully and diligently to prepare for whatrsquos to come If we donrsquot - itrsquoll

pass right by Thanks for your faithfulness and joyful spirit

God Bless
