GRIEF RECOVERY SUPPORT GROUP STARTED

 

Are you grieving for a loved one?  Let us help.  Grief Share sessions begin Sunday, July 17, 2011, at Yellville First Baptist Church at 4 PM.

You are invited to just show up at that time, or call ahead to the church office (870-449-6741), or call Gaynell Sasser (870-449-6410).  Sessions will continue for several weeks, and you can begin at any time, since each of the 13 sessions are self-contained.  The sessions will be Bible based.  We request your prayers for the leaders and group members.

Please share this opportunity with others who will benefit from this ministry.

First Baptist Church of Bull Shoals Celebrates

Jerry and Martha Backus have served First Baptist of Bull Shoals for 30 years, and the church celebrated that event on September 20th at the Bel Arco Resort.  Members of the Bull Shoals community celebrated along with the church.  We are thankful for such a ministering couple serving among us here in White River Baptist Association.  We are thankful for all those who have been saved and have grown over these years as a product of their ministry from 1979 to 2009.  May God give them many more years of service to our Lord!

Another item of celebration is the addition recently added to the worship center of FBC Bull Shoals. 

They were using their fellowship hall for overflow space along with a camera and closed circuit television to accomodate their attendance.

 

Pardon this picture, but I just had to have my photo taken with my friend and colleague, Bro. Jerry Backus. It is hard to get either of us to smile.  By the way, Jerry cleans up pretty good!

Facebook for Pastors

Chris Forbes has produced a brief book describing how Facebook could be used in ministry. In our age when many of the younger generation are using facebook to strengthen their social networks, and even senior adults are using such means to keep up with their family and friends (me included), perhaps pastors and staff members may need to take a hard look at the possibilities for facebook as a ministry vehicle.
