FORWARD - Sept 20th

"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Hebrews 12:1, 2 (NKJV)

We will resume with our regularly scheduled Friday Night Feast in a few weeks once the city-wide evangelistic effort is over. For tonight, we will again lend our support.

There will be no food provided at the event, but great fellowship and a power-packed seminar!

See you tonight at the BJCC at 7pm!

God Bless!

 "¹² Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. ¹³ Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

 - Philippians 3:12-14

Once again, 

FNF is supporting  the city-wide evangelistic effort tonight Friday, September 13th at 7pm. 

Again there won't be food but there will be plenty of warm fellowship and what promises to be a great seminar.

See you tonight at the BJCC!

September 6th -- Forward!

“Forget the former things;
    do not dwell on the past. 
See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:18-19

Hello Friends!

Geneva made an excellent point that it's probably best that we support the city-wide evangelistic effort beginning this Friday, September 6th at 7pm. 

There won't be food but there will be plenty of warm fellowship and what promises to be a great seminar.

See you tomorrow at the BJCC!

You should probably go HERE for directions and to reserve a seat:)

God Bless!

No FNF - Friday August 16th

Please note:
THERE WILL BE NO FRIDAY NIGHT FEAST TONIGHT...

Take some time, slow down, and just "be" with God...

"I stare out the window into the backyard. From my breakfast table I can see a summer robin fluffing out her feathers. The trees reach up to the sky with new leaves that wave good morning. A chubby squirrel gathers a few acorns to save for later. As I look, I realize the pace beyond my windows is so different than the one within them. We, as humans, are tempted to hurry. And yet it seems God is intent on slowing us down.

He gives us a Sabbath and we work through the weekend.

He gives us three meals a day to let us slow down and we pick fast food.

He gives us eight hours of sleep a night and we try to squeak by on far less.

We hurry when we’re afraid that we’ll be late, miss out on something, or disappoint someone. God doesn’t need to hurry because he has all the time in eternity. This is good news for us, friends. It means…

God will not rush your healing.

And God will not rush your growth.

God is okay with where you are right now. He’s not tapping his toe impatiently. He’s not looking at his watch with a sigh. He’s not trying to get you out the door a few minutes sooner. The God who loves you is willing to give you the time you need. All of time belongs to him and he is generous with it. He gives it freely to fluffy birds and friendly trees and chubby squirrels. And he’ll give it to you."

~Devotional thought by Holly Gerth

Have a blessed Sabbath, and see you all at FNF next week!
