Fellowship INSIGHTS week of September 19th

Revival – October 4th through the 7th – 6:30 – 7:30 each evening. How’s your Andrews list going? 6 people you are praying for and inviting to attend. By now, you should be asking them to attend by phone, email, handwritten note, or in-person visit. Attendance and results are totally dependent on God working through the Holy Spirit, but you can join in the process by making sure people attend to hear the good news! Romans 10:14-15 (NCV) 14 But before people can ask the Lord for help, they must believe in him; and before they can believe in him, they must hear about him; and for them to hear about the Lord, someone must tell them; 15 and before someone can go and tell them, that person must be sent. It is written, “How beautiful is the person who comes to bring good news.” Women’s retreat is next week. Please pray for a great time away to grow together in spirit and support each other, safety and health for all attending and leading. ATTENTION: All recipes need to be submitted for the Fellowship Cookbook to Dodie Hickman-Kincaid or Toni Evans by SUNDAY, September 20th. Building and Grounds have been busy painting the outside and inside of the church. Dean Molz has transformed the concrete foundation of the church single-handedly. Thank you, Dean; it looks awesome! October marks the return of the Coffee Ministry and Teams. This crew arrives early and sets up the coffee stations so that we can enjoy both the smell and taste of fresh brewed coffee. They also stay after church to clean up so we can really appreciate the extra effort it takes. Extra volunteers are needed to create enough teams that each team serves one weekend per month and if you have very limited availability we could use you on 5th Sundays. A team is 3-4 people ideally but 2-3 works very well. Fill out a Serve card from the SERVE display in the Welcome area or talk to any member of the team. Barbara McKay is the coordinator for this ministry so you can also speak directly with her. Missouri Missions Offering week of prayer is finishing up over the next two days. Each day at 2 PM you have received a reminder and a request to pray for specific individuals and areas of service. In addition to this week of prayer we are asking that you contribute to the MMO offering using the envelopes in the pew during worship. Thank you for you support for the ongoing mission work. Christmas Choir is set and ready to begin THIS SUNDAY – September 20th. Rehearsals are on Sunday at 3:45-4:30 and / 6:45-7:30 (Choose ONE or come to both). The performance is Sunday, December 13th during the morning Worship time, and there will be costumed, non-speaking drama parts for many people. Sharon Campbell oversees the costumed drama, and Doug will lead the choir. Join us as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior! Questions – 636.534.1580 or email worshippastor@fbcwarrenton.com. In person works as well. News from the Youth room We had a great night this last Sunday evening with our missionary friend Jair! Jair and his family came to make us some authentic food from Venezuela. We had a great time in fellowship, worship, and in the Word from Jair. We are enjoying Sunday School studying the book of Romans. The youth are growing closer to the Lord in learning about the life of Paul and all the obstacles Paul went through just to share his Faith with others. Our next event will be the Corn Maze on October 18th. We will be leaving the church at 2:30 PM to head to Shyrock Farms for their huge maze. It will be a fun time! There are flyers posted in the Youth room for our events for the next few months. Be sure to check them out! Last thing, I am asking you to come alongside me in prayer for more volunteers! We need people who love the Lord and love youth! If interested, please reach out to me Crystal Seiler - (636) 534-1605😊 Help wanted: Church Treasurer! What are the tasks of a treasurer? Core Responsibilities: Record Keeping Record all income and expenses Budget Management Provide input on the church budget and monitor spending Financial Reporting Prepare and submit financial updates for business meetings Banking and Payables Oversee deposits and reconciliations, bill paying, and payroll Compliance Ensure adherence to tax laws, non-profit filing and donor tax statements Some of these tasks are weekly while others are monthly or quarterly Key Skills and Qualifications or Skills and knowledge required for this Ministry Integrity and trustworthiness Handling information, financial data, and cash securely Organizational skills Basic accounting knowledge and / or church management software experience. (We use ACS) Confidentiality Collaboration You will work with the Pastoral staff and finance committee to inform their decision-making and priorities. Not everything we do in ministry is on the spiritual side (Praying, Bible Reading, Discipling, Evangelizing, Worshiping, etc.); we also steward what is provided to the local body of believers. Being a treasurer is key to maintaining healthy, viable ministries. As a church, we need to pray that God moves in the hearts of our members to fill this vital role. 1 Chronicles 26:20 established being a treasurer as a task for the Levites. God indeed established that we should manage finances and steward our resources for the building of HIS kingdom. Does any of this sound like something God has prepared you for? If so, please pray about serving and especially talk with Charlotte or Roger. Church – pray that God fills this position as soon as possible. After serving all of these years, Charlotte wants to smoothly transition to having an informed and capable replacement. Let’s honor her commitment by answering God’s call and praying for HIS provision in this critical area of Ministry.
