FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF PENFIELD OCTOBER 2014 CARILLON A NOTE FROM PASTOR RHETT / OCTOBER BIRTHDAYS 1 - 2 MEMBER NEWS 3 - 4 UPCOMING EVENTS 4 - 7 CALENDAR Attachment Greetings and blessings to you and your family! I am excited about the process of the mediation many of you have been involved with over the past month. What an excellent opportunity it has been for us to be led by the Spirit of mutual understanding and respect. I am prayerful that you will see fruits of this process flourishing over the next several months. I am also grateful for everyone who continues to bless this church through your continued attendance, prayers, ministry, and overall involvement in the family of First Baptist Penfield. God has amazing things in store for all of us, and for the surrounding community. On a personal note, I wanted you all to know that my initial firefighter training is almost complete. I do have another course to take next year, but by the middle of October I will be "official" here in East Rochester. I am very excited to be able to serve the community in this capacity. I am also happy to announce to you that I am now on the ABCRGR Executive Board. I am excited about this opportunity to get to learn, and serve, the region in another capacity. I am hopeful that you have been enjoying the sermon series on the "4 Fragile Freedoms." I am very passionate about being a Baptist, and I hope the series has given you an opportunity to understand why. The next series is on the "5 Love Languages." We all have different ways that we The Carillon Page 2 From Pastor Rhett understand this thing called love, and we will be exploring these differences by engaging Dr. Gary Chapman and Dr. Ross Campbell M.D's book on the subject. As always, if you ever want to get a hold of me, the best way to do so is by calling my cellular phone: (585) 645-4893; I typically turn it off around 9:00PM and am back on by 7:00AM. Again, blessings and peace! Pastor Rhett From your ordination candidate: Tim and I so enjoyed seeing many of you at the September “Flapjack Breakfast.” I think I spent as much time talking to folks as I did serving pancakes! As you know I will be at Immanuel Baptist Church through the end of November. Located on the edge of the city, Immanuel serves not just its Sunday congregation but also many others who call or walk in hoping for some comfort. “Church” is so much more than a worship space. As a “body of believers” there is much work to be done. We all have individual gifts but when we combine them into the body of Christ, miracles can happen. Keep working together at First Baptist Penfield ! I’ll see you at the next breakfast. Heidi Tyler, M.Div.
