Faith Lift

Deadline for articles for the weekly Faith Lift are due by noon on Tuesdays.

Jim's Article - Forty

Mentioned 146 times in Scripture, the number 40 generally symbolizes a period of testing, trial or probation.

When Noah finished the ark it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. During Moses' life he lived forty years in Egypt and forty years in the desert before God called him to lead his people out of slavery. After they crossed the Red Sea they wandered in the desert for 40 years.

Rally Day September 11th

This year's Rally Day will be on September 11th. In worship we will hear from the various Classes we offer on Sunday mornings. During our catered Bar-B-Que Lunch we will hear from the other ministries of our church.. As Carrie Martin has been sharing we will also have a "Silent Auction." If you have new or gently used items or can secure special gifts from businesses you know or are a part of, please contact us and let us know. I'm planning to offer a choice of a "House Concert" or a "House Sermon"-personalized on your favorite scripture! Proceeds from the Silent Auction will help us replenish our Christian Education supplies for the year and also benefit the Diana Gray Child Care Center that is sponsored by Church Women United.

Ping Pong Anyone? September 25th

Mike Wilson issued a challenge to the Christian Education Committee to help hold a

Ping Pong Tournament. The Committee has taken up the challenge and would like to see how much interest there is in holding one on Sunday afternoon, September 25. We think it would be a great Fellowship Activity for all ages and could possibly be one that might draw people from our Community to come and visit our church. We will advertise it along with our Silent Auction for our Rally Day on September 11th. It will be my last day before my Knee Replacement surgery, so if I blow out my knee in the tournament I can get a new one the next day. If you are interested tell me or Mike Wilson or email me at jimgill@baytownpres.org. We have a Ping Pong Table in our youth room if you want to find a partner and start practicing now.
