A Moment with with the Pastor<br />
Mission:SERVE came out of our Vision <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> study this past year. As FBC<br />
strives to be a missional church, that is , one that with purpose and intention is serving<br />
our world in ministry and mission, these events will keep us focused. The front<br />
page of this newsletter highlights all the available ministries for this Sunday. I personally<br />
will be involved in helping our sister church, Pratt Court <strong>Baptist</strong>, canvass<br />
their community. We plan on passing out packets about their church. I pray many will join me in this<br />
effort.<br />
We will be hosting a reception Monday night, <strong>September</strong> 24, for pastors’ wives and women’s ministry<br />
leaders from churches in Montgomery, Elmore, and Autauga counties. Our church is partnering<br />
with FBC Montgomery to host a major women’s conference in February <strong>20</strong>13. Pastor Jay Wolfe’s wife,<br />
Mary Ruth, and my wife, Arlinda, are leading the way in organizing this event. Kathy Troccoli will be the<br />
featured speaker, along with many others for the Friday night and Saturday morning conference in February.<br />
The reception Monday night will be led by Kathy Troccoli. Let’s pray for all their preparations.<br />
This Sunday morning, Wynette Cox will share a moving personal experience she had on the ladies’<br />
mission trip to Guatemala this past summer. You will not want to miss it.<br />
