SFBC Family,
As I type this morning it looks like the snow is on the way. School is out and the forecast is for some significant snow fall. If you get a snow day, enjoy.
I hope you are reading through the New Testament this year. It is encouraging to hear from those who are using the plan. Heard this week of another church in our association who is also using this plan and reading the New Testament through, I am excited anytime I hear people are reading their Bibles. I would love to hear if you are following the plan and what you think about it. All I want is people to read the word. It will change your life. Also, it is not too late to start. Today's reading is Mark chapter 4, there are no reading assignments for Saturdays or Sundays, so you can catch up quickly. If you would like a copy emailed to you send me an email and I will get it to you today.
It was good to be back on a regular Wednesday schedule last night. AWANA was busy as usual and their were 116 that attend student worship. Our Wednesday attendance is unbelievable. Total attendance each Wednesday night tops 200 every week, with many weeks we will see at least 240 people attend. Lots of churches would love to have that attendance for Sunday Morning!
One of our students was leaving practice after school this week. Some other kids were talking and he over heard their conversation. They were talking about a "Jesus Revolution" going on. That is great news to hear, but as Paul Harvey would say here is the rest of the story, our student continues to listen in and the others kids say, "yeah, down at South Fork." That is cool. We want to connect people in our community to Jesus and to have one of our kids over hear others talking about what is happening at our church is just a God sized blessing! Ok, you can stop shouting now and pray that God will bring a "Jesus Revolution" to our County and that He would bless us to be part of it.
We don't typically cancel services due to the weather. We had a service last year after the ice storm with no electricity. About 80 people attended. We have services, so if you can get to church please do attend. But don't risk anything, we leave that decision to you. If there were a cancelation best way to find out is email, facebook, or call us. By the way, we have a South Fork Facebook page. You can follow us by becoming a fan of South Fork on Facebook. It has announcements, prayer requests, and event posts during the week. Try it out.
Enjoy the snow, it will be gone before you know it.
See you this weekend,
Bro Norm
Men's Prayer Group Postponed until next week
Due to the snow Men's prayer group will be held next Thursday night, January 14th, 7pm at the home of Charles and Brenda Miller.
Christmas Decoration Removal this Saturday morning
The church is wonderfully decorated for Christmas, thanks to a great team of people who came and gave a Saturday morning to serve. We need you again, on Saturday, January 9th, 8am. We will be removing and storing the Christmas decoration. While this is not as fun as seeing them go up, it is really important that several people help. Please do help us with this project. Melinda Howell who leads our decorating team, had surgery after Christmas and will need extra help, so please plan on attending to help Melinda and our church.
