this weekend @ sfbc - June 27th

sfbc family,

We will be hosting a church and community Health Fair at South Fork on Saturday from 8am - noon. I hope you will stop by the church and check out the more than 30 vendors who will provide information, health checks, and some screenings, as well as some free give a ways. This is a project of our Health Ministry and a service to our church family and community. Be sure to stop by on Saturday morning.

We are only one week away from our 4th of July cookout and picnic at Sportsman's Lake in Hodgenville. This event is lots of fun, there will be games, food, and fireworks at dusk. Please bring coolers of drinks, side items for picnic, and desserts. We will be grilling burgers and hot dogs. Invite your friends and family, this is one of the most fun times we share as a church family.

Vacation Bible School is July 18th - 22nd. I am very concerned about the need for additional workers. We still need teachers for several class rooms. Please see the poster located at the main bulletin board at church to see the needed classes to fill. You can sign up there or contact Sandy Kidd for your teaching packet and to prepare. We also need workers in music, crafts, class room assistants, etc. We need you, please step up and let's fill all the needs this weekend!

GA camp is this weekend. Girls will be leaving on Friday at 11:30am and will return Saturday evening. MFUGE is getting close as students will be leaving on July 5th. There is much to pray about at South Fork. Please say a special prayer for our church family and for Sunday's worship service.

I hope to see you this weekend @ sfbc.

this weekend @ sfbc - Florida Edition

sfbc family,

We will be heading back tomorrow (Thursday) from Florida. We have had a good week. Some down time and got to experience some refreshing preaching. Our kids have had a great time in the pool and a day at the beach. We attended the pastors conference on Monday and I attended the Tuesdays session of the Southern Baptist Convention. But the week has passed and we are ready to head home.

Much has happened during my absence, I have been hearing of members in the hospital and families having surgery. I also heard the attendance was very good for the 8:30am service thank you! I hope you will be at church on Sunday. It is Father's Day and should be a great time for worship. I will be back and be preaching from 1 Thessalonians 2, "some check marks for our families".

See you this weekend.

this weekend @ sfbc - June 13th

SFBC Family,

We are heading to the Southern Baptist Convention in Orlando. My family, Dewayne's family and others from our church will be attending the pastor's conference on Monday. Savannah Hines will be serving as a National Panelist for WMU at the meeting!! The Convention is on Tuesday and could bring a resurgence in commitment to missions. One of the major topics of discussion is missions and how to increase our support and send more missionaries to the field. I pray that we as a church and convention will seek to take the name of Jesus to places it is not known. Pray for us that we will return fired up to serve and reach people in LaRue County and that the life impact will be long lasting. My family will be enjoying a few days of vacation before the convention and right after. If you have an emergency this weekend or next week please call our church office Pam will take great care of you and contact someone to serve or assist you.

Bro Jeremy Atwood will be preaching on Sunday. He will preach both the 8:30am and the 11am service. Please be sure to attend. He is an awesome preacher and friend. Jeremy was a member of our 2007 mission team to Africa. He is the former pastor at Bacon Creek, you will be blessed I promise.

We really need you to sign up for VBS. I looked tonight and noticed that we have several slots to fill. I know you have great intention about signing up and just forget, so we need you to stop by the VBS poster on the main bulletin board. Please see Sandy Kidd for information. We really, really need you!

Mission Organizations will meet on Sunday night at 6pm.

I will be back for Father's Day and look forward to sharing that day with our church family. Please do pray that the next week will be refreshing and a time of spiritual renewal for my family and others who will be at the conference.

Love and prayers

Bro Norm

this weekend @ sfbc - June 6th

sfbc family,

I would like to encourage you to attend and support our student ministry silent auction this Sunday night. The silent auction has been an annual event for our youth and always helps in a big way to provide funds for their summer mission trip. There will be a meal beginning at 5pm, items will be located around the fellowship hall to bid on, at the close of biding if you are the highest bidder you purchase the item, simple process and has been lots of fun in the past. This year it is even more important. Here's why . . . .

1. We are sending 95 students and chaperons to MFUGE. You read that right 95, it is not a typo. It will be one of the largest groups to attend MFUGE mission camp this summer. We try our best to help our students go to camp. They pay deposits and for a good portion of the trip, but there is still cost and we still need $5,000 to cover this trip, to provide transportation, and help students who can't pay as much as others.

2. MFUGE has been like a revival for our church. Students and adults return fired up about serving and worshipping God. We need to see that this as an eternal investment in the life of one of our youth.

3. Student Ministry is a big deal. Have you noticed the number of students and their families that attend because we invest in their family. It brings people to South Fork.

Please attend on Sunday night, give a donation, make a bid. Let me also encourage you to think about this, many times we attend the silent auction thinking I am going to get a bargain. I know we should be responsible with our finances, but this year instead of bidding $1 on an item, go ahead and start the bidding higher, maybe even what the item is worth. Why, remember what the auction is for missions. Let's not ask what it is going to cost but attend with the thought that together we can see God bless our church and students and meet a $5,000 goal to send our students to Nashville during July.

Thank you for your work on this years Memorial Day project. We were able to send 20 care packages to Marines in Matt Hanson's unit serving in Afghanistan and 2 care packages to Rob Selman serving in Kosovo. Thank you for providing items needed and the funds for shipping the boxes. Thank you Melinda Howell and others who packed the boxes and to Eric and Hazel Hinton who delivered them to the post office. Way to go South Fork family!

See you this weekend,

Bro Norm

Men's Prayer and Fellowship

Men's prayer group will meet tonight at 7pm at the home of Barry and Rita Eads. All men are encouraged and invited to attend.

MFUGE Silent Auction

There will be a silent auction fund raiser for MFUGE on Sunday, June 6th, beginning at 5pm in the church fellowship hall. We still need to raise funds for this mission trip. There are 95 students and leaders attending MFUGE this year in Nashville. It is a week of missions, worship, growth, and life change. We will have one of the largest groups in the nation participating this summer. Many times we attempt to get a "bargain" at a silent auction, let me encourage you instead of asking how cheap can I get something, ask how much can I give to help a student this summer. Let's see if we can meet a $5,000 goal for this auction. If you would like to donate a item for this auction please contact Dewayne or Theresa Banks.
