Pastor Jay's Mid-Week Memo – June 28, 2023
Dear Church Family,
Summer is off to a great start at Forest Hills Baptist Church! We have so much to celebrate, participate in, and look forward to!
Of course, we are celebrating an incredible VBS week! We praise God for the 17 children who trusted Christ for salvation, the many others who talked with decision counselors and are talking with their parents about what God is doing in their lives, and the many new families who attended last week. I am also grateful for the 200+ men and women who invested their time, energy and gifts to make VBS happen. And of course, we are grateful for our FHBC children's ministry staff team - Lauren Bush, Debi Jones, Molly Hardwick and Caroline Briley. Pray for continued fruit to come from the seeds planted last week!
This week is yet another sending week for FHBC as we sent a mission engagement team to England, and sent our students to FUGE Camp at Ridgecrest! Be praying for our mission team as they serve our mission partners there and serve alongside of them to impact others with the gospel. And, be praying for a life-changing week at camp for our students. Camp is a special experience every year and a great opportunity for students to make significant decisions in relationship with God.
And finally, we have an exciting update on one of our 2025 goals! Our desire is to be a multiplying church that is planting and re-planting new churches to reach people and make disciples. God has given us a unique and exciting opportunity to pursue next steps in fulfilling this goal, and I can't wait to share more with you later this week! We'll send a specific email and video to share how God is at work and the next steps we are taking to follow His lead.
I'm grateful for what God is doing and excited about what is ahead! Love you, praying for you, and look forward to seeing you soon...and until then, you are sent!
Until All Hear,
Pastor Jay
