A A Moment Moment with with the the Pastor<br />
Pastor<br />
Arlinda and I just returned from attending my nephew’s wedding in our<br />
hometown of Melbourne, Florida. We had a wonderful time visiting with family<br />
and friends. On Saturday we spent time riding around town seeing the homes we<br />
used to live in, our old high school, our favorite eating places and of course,<br />
viewing the Atlantic Ocean where we used to have some great beach parties. One<br />
of the best things we did was spend Friday evening with Johnny and Vivian Cline.<br />
Johnny was our lay youth director. He was my spiritual father and mentor during junior high and high<br />
school. In those days we didn’t have paid staff. Lay leaders took up the responsibilities and took<br />
seriously the task of leadership. Johnny served us well. His character, love for us, love for the Lord,<br />
and commitment to serve were more than enough to lead our growing youth group. He was a great<br />
Bible teacher. God used this man to help guide me as He called me in ministry. I owe so much to him.<br />
Let this be a reminder to all our ministry leadership whether it is in Sunday School, Discipleship,<br />
Missions or Music…God has placed you in a leadership position to influence people. You are<br />
influencing them to worship...grow...and serve. Please see your larger responsibility is helping disciples<br />
grow through whatever ministry you are involved in.<br />
Remember our mandate...Leading our generation to be transformed through God’s living Word.<br />
During the remaining Sundays in <strong>April</strong> I will be emphasizing the “Serve” part of our “map” for<br />
discipleship. I’ll be encouraging us to serve in ministry in the church and missions outside the church.<br />
Travis<br />
Minister of Education<br />
CityFest CityFest is coming up Saturday, May 4, in downtown Prattville. We will set up a booth to give out<br />
free bottled water, greet people, and give out information about FBC and our upcoming VBS. Cases of bottled<br />
water are needed as are volunteers to help with set-up, handing out water, and clean-up. A sign-up sheet is<br />
outside the Adult Education office. As you sign-up, please leave a contact phone number so we can reach you if<br />
there is a schedule change or weather causes us any problems.<br />

Alan Raughton from LifeWay will be with us on Monday, <strong>April</strong><br />
15, at 6:30 p.m. in the Chapel to preview major changes<br />
coming to the Bible Studies for Life curriculum series. If you<br />
currently use Life Matters, Life Truths, Life Values, Life<br />
Ventures, Bible Teaching for Kids or any of our Preschool<br />
curriculum, this is your opportunity to learn about the<br />
re-launch of this series beginning in the fall. Other teachers<br />
considering a curriculum change are welcome to attend – the<br />
Preview is free. Childcare is NOT available for this event.<br />
Minister to Senior Adults<br />
You can be a missionary! All that is required is a love for God and a love for people. There are many<br />
opportunities for seniors to volunteer for short term missions. We have scheduled a Missions/Ministry Fair for<br />
<strong>April</strong> 28 in our Fellowship Hall. There will be opportunities to serve within our church, as well as mission<br />
opportunities. Begin praying, “Lord, here I am, where do you want me to serve?” Many of us need some change to<br />
give us excitement and the emotional energy that something new will afford us. I have observed in church work<br />
that those who are the most fulfilled are those who are serving. Our attitude should be that of the 80 year old<br />
lady that I visited in the hospital, who told me she had to get out of the hospital, so she could visit the ‘ole’ folks.<br />
