Freedom Baptist Church: May 2015

Saturday, May 30, 2015

It's Saturday and Sunday's Coming

Hey Freedom folks, it's Saturday and Sunday's coming like a freight train at us! Choo-choo ch-boogie!

Tomorrow we will have our Summer Begins Potluck; the Songspinners will perform at 5pm and potluck will follow

The Campeau's and Chandler's have provided the pork, bread and sauce

The rest of you folks bring picnic/BBQ sides and desserts

The church has coffee and lemonade

We will break down the auditorium after church tomorrow and set up for the fellowship

The Spinners always look forward to the shows at our church because we are so receptive

And I know you come to see how Greg will embarrass himself this year; I assure you it's an astounding embarrassment and you will enjoy it

We have not heard anything further on the roof; assume too much rain continuing but supposed to be drier this weekend

Bob Mahan is still in the hospital; Bertie reports he is slowly recuperating and will move to rehab when ready but no date set yet

Ruth continues to recuperate from her shoulder surgery this past Wednesday; she hopes to be at church in the evening but we'll see

Bless ya'll's hearts and let's have a good time tomorrow!

Memorial Day Weekend 2015 at Freedom

Hey church folks, hope you have a good Memorial Day Weekend planned

I don't have any shows so I'm doing a lot of puttering around the house and getting ready for Ruth's surgery and the grandkids from Alaska coming for 3 weeks this summer; lots to do

Will be smoking some meat; that's nothing but good!

I heard from the landlord and he has a roofer under contract as soon as the weather breaks it will get done so there is a plan; we may be coming in from the rain soon and I'll keep you posted

Pray for all our sick ones

Some will be traveling; some will be staying home; some will be tired; some will be refreshed; pray for them

And some gave all including their life; thanks to our veterans this Memorial Day

And we all will be basking in the grace of God; thanks to God for giving us life and blessing in this great land of ours

See you Sunday, Lord willing

Pastor Greg A. Chandler
A local church that is Baptist in doctrine and unaffiliated with any national denomination. We have been worshiping the Lord since our forming in 1988. Some of our members have fellowshiped in this and a previous church for over 50 years. We are families who have come together to try to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. We support 3 missionaries and try to help as many as we can while pursuing our prime directive as a church to teach the gospel and train followers of Christ. We welcome the utilization of the best translations of the Bible (we are not KJV-only) by each individual believer since each believer has the right to choose for himself in the freedom with which Christ has given.

Announcements

The Music of Heaven, sung by Pastor Greg Chandler and church pianist extraordinaire Lisa Heald is now available. Pastor Greg and Lisa have recorded some favorite songs as we anticipate our eternal home in heaven. What a day of rejoicing that will be!

We also have church cookbooks available with our favorite recipes from the great cooks of our church. If you're a Baptist church it's in the Statement of Faith that you have to have a lot of potlucks, and therefore you have great cooks.

Greg's Little Sayings

Church is on Sunday morning because of Saturday night
I'm doing the work of 3 men - Larry, Moe and Curly!
Most church folks don't mind having the wool pulled over their eyes, but they do mind getting fleeced! Courtesy Dennis Craig
This faith ministry is going down the tubes if you don't give!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Prophet's Meeting is cancelled tonight (Huh?)
If you let the dogs out, don't complain about the barking!
I saw a bumper sticker, “Nature is my church.” I guess he can’t get along with other folks
Those that blame God for suffering acknowledge there is a power greater than themselves; at least they're not atheists
On church arguments - it's always about control
Church is no more than a handrail on a set of stairs! Courtesy Johnie Jackson
We're not the worst church you'll ever attend!
Ya gotta dance with the lady what brung ya!
When in doubt, sing!
If you’re feeling down and faithless, wait three days, you’ll feel better; in the meantime, clean something, at least you’ll be doing something good
It’s not just what you believe that matters; it’s how you hold what you believe
Humility: if you have to advertise it, you ain’t got it
When you’ve done all you can, have faith; oh, no, has it come to that?
