A place YOU can belong! June 2015 Issue 6 A N o te from the Pas to r The jazz singer Al Jolson wrote a song that said, “Though April showers may come your way, they bring the flowers that bloom in the May.” Well, I think our April showers were a month late! We have had so much rain. But, this is the last week of school and summer is here. We had our CDC Daycare graduation last Tuesday night and it was awesome as always. It is wonderful to see the children give examples of all they have learned during the year like counting to 100 by 5s and 10s; and quoting scripture. I am very thankful for the dedication of our daycare workers who love these children and who plant seeds in their lives to teach them to love Jesus. But now the school year is almost over. With summer comes all kinds of activities and family vacations. Here at FBC we also have a lot of things planned for summer. Next week the youth group from First Baptist North Mobile will be staying at our church while they participate in all kinds of mission efforts here in Citronelle. We will finish the week with a block party on Saturday. I think our youth will be joining them a couple of times for worship. Pray that God blesses the FBNM youth group and that our community will be blessed. Our Guatemala mission team led by Bro. Johnny leaves June 4th to spend a week in Chimaltenengo building houses, preaching and ministering. Keep them in your prayers as they go. The very next week will be Vacation Bible School here at FBC. Mrs. Rhonda Cochran is graciously serving as our VBS Director, and she has done a terrific job of getting everything organized and getting our workers together. We will be partnering again with Crosspoint Baptist for our VBS. Please come out and “jump in” because we will need plenty of help. If the summer continues as it starts we are going to be busy. We need everyone involved. You may be the specific person that God uses to touch a child’s life and lead them to salvation. We all need to be alert to the moving of the Holy Spirit, and we need to be watching for Him to use us in specific ways. It may be through the routine, every day events that He uses us, or through the seeming coincidences that we run upon without notice. The key is for us to be available. That means we must not let all the clamor of this world drown out the still, small voice of God as He speaks to us and directs us. Let me encourage you as summer begins to be used for God’s glory.

Youth Minister Randy Reed School is out and vacations are planned! But the church must still be “about the Father’s business.” (Luke 2:49) During the summer months, we often see church attendance at its lowest numbers. However, now is not the time to go on vacation from what the Lord desires us to do for Him. Over the past several weeks our Next Generation Youth have been studying the “Seven Churches in Revelation” in order to see where we are both personally and prophetically. Many church theologians would place “the church” today (meaning all those who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior) in the category of the Church in Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22) which is known as the lukewarm church. As I told the youth, there is no such thing as a lukewarm Christian though. You are either HOT or COLD!! Let’s stay on fire for Jesus this summer and don’t become apathetic to winning souls.
