PREACHER B’S BE-ATTITUDES

SUNDAY, December 16, 2018 Sunday School Attendance General Fund

Thank you to everyone who stepped in on very short notice this past Sunday morning! I had not felt well since Friday but felt better Saturday, so I thought I could preach Sunday morning. Not a good idea! I was up all night! Much of the church staff was already scheduled to be away. At 6:00 a.m. I called Tonya, Darryl Maxwell and Mack McKeithan. Everyone immediately agreed to jump in and take care of both morning services. We are so blessed at Florence with our wonderful church staff and wonderful church family! We have a great team! So thank you to everyone for your help, and thank you for all of your support! My situation? I ended up in the ER Sunday afternoon, and I now have a follow up appointment on Wednesday. I am at home and feeling better. Thank you for all your love and prayers and for being a pastor to me. I love each one of you. Now to the New Year! Happy 2019 to each of you! Praying you have the best year ever, and praying it is the best year ever for Florence Baptist Church! Let’s join our hearts and minds in prayer as we move forward into this brand New Year. We have a brand new season of Upward Basketball and Cheering that kicks off this Saturday, January 5. We invite all of you to come out and cheer on the players and coaches. Upward is a great program! A great blessing to Florence and our community! Thank you to Tonya for her leadership and to all who will assist her this year. We have a brand new month of Fellowship Suppers! The January Menus are included in this newsletter. Please take a moment to make your reservations. We have delicious meals and great fellowship on Wednesdays. Thank you to Ashlee Kalley and to all the volunteers who assist her. We hope you will plan to join us on Wednesdays in the New Year. We also pray that each of us will make a fresh new commitment to God, to worship and to Sunday School in the New Year! May we walk and talk with God each day and join with the people of God each Sunday! I am confident I will be back soon. In the meantime you are in good hands with our staff and deacons. Preacher B

The Four Most Important Events in Life! Birth Baptism Marriage Death A team from Florence will be going to Lumberton to work the week of January 6th-11th. Plans are to leave after church on Sunday Morning and return Friday afternoon. If you would like to help all week or even a single day, please contact Tom Hamrick at 828-429-1977 or Chester Melton at 828-429-0860.

Yearly Contribution Statements We will follow the IRS guidelines for posting donations to 2018 contribution records. Would you be willing to help staff the nursery during services at Florence? Helping during any service would be helpful but the need is especially great on Wednesdays and Sundays evenings. Please contact Tonya Garrison if you would like to help out in the Nursery.

Your yearly contribution statements will be mailed in the next few weeks. Please review them and should any changes need to be made, contact Teresa Skinner in the Church Office.
