Dreams for the Future continue with renewed emphasis on Camp Fairview and much needed renovations there.
Among the projects to be completed:

Praise the Lord for monies brought in to enable project completion!
Perhaps you would be moved to ‘lay up treasures in Heaven’ and invest in Camp Fairview?

This week we celebrate the birth of our wonderful country. America is the best of all nations. People from all around the world risk their very lives to come to here.

In America each citizen is free to talk, think, and travel. If we don’t like our work, we can find another job or we can go to school. If we don’t like our elected officials, we can vote them out, or run for office ourselves. We can turn the channel or turn it off; answer the phone, or disconnect it. We can read our Bibles and go to church. We can visit the supermarket or dine out; be married or stay single; make speeches, or keep silent. The hand of government rests more gently on American citizens than those in any other country. Continue reading …

The scriptures tell us of the hearts of Jonathan and David being knit together. The nation of Israel numbered their men as a unit. Jesus left with twelve men the propagation of the gospel. A surface reading of the scripture shows us the position of leadership ascribed to men. Biblical churches had men as pastors. The preachers, prophets, and evangelists were men. The Bible was written by approximately 45 men. One of the best things that could happen to our churches today would be an infusion of men with courage, backbone, common sense, and godly character. The Bible plan is that men take leadership. In the church, home, and society, men have an obligation to have vision and conviction. According to Ephesians 5:22, every man is to his wife the image of Christ. Children are blessed who have a father who portrays to them the image of our Heavenly Father. Continue reading …

‘Come home’ and join us for Homecoming Day 2010 … Sunday, May 2, 2010.

Many things are being planned for Homecoming weekend … opportunities to reconnect and fellowship with all of those we’ve come to know and love by way of the Fairview Baptist Church ministries. We anticipate a full house – and with a special Sunday dinner being planned want to make sure there are more than enough fixins!

We would love to hear that you’ll be joining us for Homecoming Sunday.
To the left you’ll find a link to ‘HOMECOMING RSVP’ … or simply go to the ‘Contact’ link above to send us your message.
We’re looking forward to a great day!

Homecoming 2009 was so special – with over 500 registering for the morning services – that May 2 has been set as ‘Homecoming Day 2010′. Invitations are being sent to everyone who has ever been touched by this ministry.

Often we think of the many people who have been saved, baptized, or served for a time in the ministries here. Many are spread across America. We’ve all grown a bit older but with grateful hearts remember past blessings. Sunday, May 2 will give us all precious opportunities to reminisce about the ‘good old days’. We look forward to seeing old friends, meeting new ones, and catching up on all the latest news. A full slate of events are being planned including an old fashioned ‘dinner on the grounds’.

Special recognition will be given to those who have traveled the greatest distance. Church, school, and camp staff members will be honored. After pastoring here for thirty-six years, I look forward to saying a big “Thank You” to all who encouraged and helped along the way!
