VBS 2013…Silly Sock Day!

Stacy Murphy — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:36:25 +0000

Last year we had the incredible opportunity to partner with the YMCA in Fayette County to do Vacation Bible School. We were really excited to be able to do that again this year. Today was the second day of Fayette Baptist’s Vacation Bible School. The theme of the day was “Silly Sock Day”, and the kids came out fully prepared!

The children participated in four different areas throughout the day: Bible, recreation, snacks, and crafts. It was a great day, and the kids seemed to fully enjoy themselves!

Please pray for the volunteers who are working this week at VBS. Also be in prayer that the children’s hearts would be receptive to the truths they are learning, and that there would be kids who give their hearts and lives to the Lord this week!

A BUILDING

Praise the Lord, as of Monday, June 3, 2013, Fayette Baptist Church is the proud owner of property on Highway 64 in Somerville, Tennessee!

{Signing the contract on Monday}

{Currently a Ford car dealership…In the Future, the home of Fayette Baptist Church!}

Some of our dear men have already posted a sign on our new property, as well as cut the grass for the first time! There is much excitement at Fayette Baptist!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice; praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the people rejoice… and give HIM the Glory, great things HE hath done!

Memorial Day Picnic

On Sunday evening, we held our second ever Memorial Day Picnic. The weather was perfect, and with over a hundred in attendance, it was a great night of food, fellowship, and fun!

We had games aplenty, and our Fayette kids were able to run and play to their hearts content.

We at Fayette Baptist want to say a huge “THANK YOU” to all who have served (and are currently serving!) our grand country to give us all the freedoms that we so enjoy.

Hope your Memorial Day was a fun and safe one!

Friends at Fayette Day

Two Sundays ago, we had a special day where our church family was invited out to our prospective property to see the plans for the future home of Fayette Baptist Church. It was an exciting day, as we had the opportunity to see what will hopefully be taking place in the future of our church.

Pastor Drew gave an overview of what the plans for the new church building will include while everyone ate lunch, which was provided by the church.

The architectural plans were on display for everyone to look over.

It was exciting to see everyone at our future site, fellowshiping and enjoying one another.

Our youth had the opportunity to check out the grounds…

the kids had a chance to get messy…

and the men had the opportunity to do what they do best: TALK!

Please continue to pray for Fayette Baptist as we seek God’s will and guidance on all of our upcoming decisions and direction for our new church building. Even more than we desire a permanent place to meet, we desire to be in God’s perfect meeting place for Fayette.

Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not on thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” Pray that we continue to acknowledge Him in all of our decisions, and that He in turn will continue to direct all of our paths.

Check back soon for more updates on the church property and building!

Over the last couple of months, we have been busy at Fayette Baptist! On March 16th, Fayette Baptist’s Womens Ministry held Spring Fling, which was a market and dinner for the women of the community. There were around 100 women in attendance, and they were blessed by author and international speaker Marolyn Ford.

Fayette Baptist also has been blessed to have families joining our fellowship weekly!

We recently kicked off our choir, and it has been a blessing to see these faithful members leading our church in worship.

We have continued to see people come to Christ and follow Him in believer’s baptism.

Last Sunday was the kickoff for Awesome April, and we were blessed by Ronnie Johnson, who came out to Fayette County from Miracle Baptist in Memphis to proclaim what great things God has done in his life.

God continues to work in and through Fayette Baptist, and we are so excited about what He is doing! Please be in prayer for us as we look forward to the next couple of weeks. This coming Sunday, April 14th, we are excited to have Dr. Ray Newcomb come preach to us. We are asking God to do above and beyond what we could think or ask.

Pray that many will come to know HIM, and that all of the glory will go to HIM alone!

Baby Dedication 2012

Stacy Murphy — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 02:51:58 +0000

On Sunday we had our first Parent/Child Dedication at Fayette Baptist Church. We were so excited to give these parents an opportunity to stand before their fellow believers and church family and make a public promise to endeavor to raise their children in a Godly home. It was also a great reminder to the church family to pray for these families who are attempting to train their children to follow after the Lord. We had three families dedicate their children:

Shawn and Christinann Gardner dedicated Reece

Josh & Lauren Mabry dedicated Jeremiah

Jeremy & Katie White dedicated Blakely

We are so excited that we are going to be able to minister to these children, and to watch them grow in their knowledge of and relationship with the Lord. We are truly blessed for all of the sweet little ones that God has given us!

Vision Night

Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish…
Sunday night, October 7th, was an exciting night , as Pastor Drew and the staff laid out the vision for the future of Fayette Baptist Church. We started the night off with some food, fellowship, and a time of worship.

Pastor Drew then came and talked to the church about the staff’s vision for the church. He shared plans, hopes and dreams for today, tomorrow, and the future. It was exciting to see and hear, and many people were encouraged by the fact that the staff desires to see Fayette Baptist be a church that reaches the community in a myriad of ways.

Following up Pastor Drew’s overview of the vision, FBC’s student pastor, Jon Gambrell, showed the church what it would look like if Fayette Baptist attempted to purchase land with an existing building.

Next our administrative director, Shawn Gardner, showed the congregation what the past and present finances of Fayette Baptist Church look like. This was such an exciting thing to see, and showed the members exactly how much God has blessed this church in just a few short months! He also showed what future finances would look like if God led FBC to pursue purchasing land and a church building.

Discipleship Pastor, Josh Mabry, concluded the night by leading us in a time of corporate prayer.

Proverbs 16:9 says, A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Please pray for Fayette Baptist Church as we seek God’s guidance for the future. Although we have hopes and dreams, we desire for God to direct all of our steps!

For further information on the vision of Fayette Baptist Church, it will be posted on the fayettebaptist.com website coming soon!
