What's up?
Do you ever sit back and ask the question, "what is God really doing in my life?" I cannot help but wonder how many missed opportunities, acts of disobedience, attitudes of ungratefulness I exercise, or fail to exercise in any given day, week, etc. Could it be that the lack of moment on God's part is a result of a lack of obedience, gratefulness, faithfulness on our part. Listen for the voice...

Warning – These are random thoughts prone to improper grammar, spelling, etc., but they are straight from the heart……..
First of all I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Man, what a great time to hang out with family, eat some turkey with some turkeys and give thanks to the Lord Jesus for making everything in our lives possible. Even in the midst of tough economic times, I think we can all whole heartedly agree that we are the most blessed people in the entire world. God has certainly been good.
Sunday night was awesome. Our Thanksgiving dinner here at FBCHS was incredible. I want to give a shout out to Alisa Motes for cooking and cooking and cooking in order that we might feast on some beast. I absolutely loved hearing how the Lord has so blessed so many lives this past year and how this Church has impacted some lives in a great way. It is all Jesus!!! I am so very blessed to have a church family that blesses me each and every week in ways that I once thought impossible. You are an incredible people and I deeply love each and every one of you.
Some dates to put on your calendar: Holly Springs Christmas Parade December 6th at 3:30 pm. We need folks to hand out candy, church information, and to just be friendly. We will be decorating a float and using this parade as a vehicle to tell the greater Holly Springs area that God is flat doing something at FBCHS and hope can be found in this place. Anyone who can participate can contact Kasey Baxter at kpbluebird@comcast.net. We will need help with the design of the float as well as the parade itself. Friend Day, December 7th, and caroling December 14 at 4 pm.
I can hardly wait until Friend Day. I have been praying that you invite so many people that we have to create an overflow room in the fellowship hall and have people standing in the foyer. Please, use this opportunity to bring your friends to church that day and tell them lunch is on you. Don’t forget to bring your best pot-o-chili. Our services that day will begin at 10:30 am and there will be no Sunday school on that day in order for preparations to be made for the luncheon. I have really been begging God for a big group of guys from the Creekview football team to join us on that day. I believe God is going to do something great…

Please be praying for Friend Day on Sunday December 7th. I hope we pack this place out with people from all over the area. Begin inviting your neighbors, friends, family to come and hang out with us and chow down on some chili at the chili cook-off. I am hoping to have the entire Creekview Varsity football team and coaches here that Sunday as well. Looks like Coach Morrell will be the chili judge this year. Some like it hot, I guess…
Praise God the 2009 budget has finally been completed and will be handed out soon. This budget is a faith budget but praise God, “Faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen.” Hebrews 11:1. I believe God has some massive things in store for FBCHS this next year and praise God for the vision and confidence of the people within this fellowship. You are incredible. Stay faithful…
Continue to pray for Kevin and Rita as they seek the Lord concerning His direction for their lives. They have been such an incredible blessing over the past few weeks and I pray that the Lord be honored in whatever direction they make. For selfish reasons I would absolutely love to keep them here, but it is not up to me, the Lord will direct them and they will obey. But, if God chooses to place the in North Carolina we can be sure of the reality that He will provide for the needs of our church as well. We are praying for you guys!!!
I can hardly wait to begin our Sunday Night Thrive services. We will begin on January 4th with a concert by Crutch Field. John, the founder of the group is a dear friend of many years. I believe God will greatly use this group as they lead us in a night of worship. You can check out their website at www.crutchfieldband.com. Be sure and put this date on your calendar now because you will not want to miss this event.
Sunday night is going to be awesome. This is one of my favorite services in the entire year. We will have turkey and dressing and fest with the family (of God). The church will be preparing the turkey’s and if you guys will bring the side dishes (see Alisa with any questions) we will have a great time of food and fellowship. Don’t forget, 5 pm.
Man I thank God for you folks. I consider one of the greatest joys of my life being your Pastor.
