Pastor's Pen - 2010-08-22

An Eventful Time

The next month or so should prove to be an eventful time here at Fellowship Baptist Church.

Next Sunday we will celebrate with a church dinner and then a Baptism service at the Nanticoke River. It is always a highlight of our church year to be able to worship together and to see believers obey the Lord by being baptized.

Our Lord Himself commanded us to baptize (Matthew 28:19) and set an example for us by being baptized Himself (Matthew 3:13- 17). When these folks are baptized next week, it is a testimony not only of their following Christ in obedience, but also a picture of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ to those watching.

Not only do we get to celebrate these baptisms, in the coming days there are a number of other events that demand our time, attention and prayer.

* On October 10, our church will celebrate our church anniversary with a special service and a lunch.

* On October 13, we will be launching our first-ever weekly teen ministry and weekly children's ministry.

* On October 17, we will be beginning a new Sunday afternoon Bible study that I think will be informative and challenging.

In addition to these events, there are many other things that are happening. From Labor Day to the start of school to Promotion Sunday for Sunday School to an FFBC Youth Rally, the calendar is filling up with many opportunities for ministry and fellowship.

Do you Support Traditional Marriage?


Are you aware that traditional marriage is about to be redefined in the state of Maryland?


In Maryland’s State Legislature, a bill which would bring same-sex “marriage” to Maryland is expected to pass in the next month.


Some things you should know

· Same-sex marriage has been defeated in all 31 states where citizens have been allowed to vote on it.

· In several areas the courts and/or the legislatures in these areas have prevented the people from voting on the issue.


· Most voters in Maryland are not aware of where their Delegates and Senators stand on the definition of marriage, and therefore the legislature cannot legitimately represent the People of Maryland by passing laws to re-define marriage.

·

Maryland's current Governor, Martin O'Malley, has declared his willingness to sign a law for gay marriage if one should be sent to his desk according to a Washington Post article September 9, 2010

Want to learn more about the current legislation to make same-sex “marriage” legal?
