this weekend @ sfbc - August 30th

sfbc family,

We will host 5th Quarter this Saturday night following the LaRue County Football game. Students will have a time to gather in the fellowship hall for food and games, then finish the evening with worship and a guest speaker in the sanctuary. Please pray for this event, Dewayne has challenged the our group to invite their friends and to see 300 students at worship Saturday night. What an opportunity to love kids and to share about Jesus! Contact DeWayne if you would like to help this weekend, Dewayne.gibson@larue.kyschools.us.

I read this recently, about dying churches.

Darryl Dash writes that every church is a dying church in one of three ways:

• Some churches are literally dying. They are slowly losing people and will likely shut down.
  
  
• Some churches are glitzy and successful. They look vibrant and alive, but they’re really only alive to themselves and their institution. They look alive, but they’re dying and they don’t know it.
  
  
• Then there’s the church that could be big or small, glitzy or drab, that dies to itself daily – that has taken up the cross and is more concerned with following Christ, no matter what the costs.

All churches are dying. Only the third type of church, however, will experience a resurrection. What kind of church are we? Great Question. . . .

We will finish the Jonah series this Sunday. I hope you have been blessed by it. Did you write your second chance with God story and share it with someone this week? I hope you did, if not, remember, it is not too late! That maybe your story, I forgot to write mine, so God gave me a second chance to write it and share it with someone! Try it, you'll be amazed at peoples response.

See you this weekend @ sfbc
Bro Norm
