Snow day at FBC!!

I thought I would share a few photo (from the 300 or so Kyle and I took). It was a beautiful winter wonderland. I couldn't get the old song... "What can make me white as SNOW...nothing, but the blood of JESUS!" off my mind Sunday. Great turn out for SS guys!! Hope everyone had fun playing in the snow! Hope you like the pictures. I will post the announcements/prayer request by the end of the week. Enjoy...

Prayer Request

I'm writing this tonight with a great sense of saddness yet peace...Baby Maddox Elise Hodge is now back with her heaven Father. Loni went for her weekly check up today and Maddie's heart beat was silent. There is no way to tell when she made her journey home for sure, but she is in her Father's hands. Justin and Loni and holding up as well as can be expected. Loni has updated her blog, and I feel it is okay to share their news. Loni will be induced tomorrow at 7am at UAB. I will be traveling up there in the morning, and be will with them to take pictures of Maddie. PLEASE pray for them, their family, and me. Thanks- Steph

Welcome to SS Steven Meadows, Ashley McCulloch!

Welcome to SS Gabe and Kara Karns!

We have decided to wrap up the "Men are like Waffles, Women are Like Spagtti Book", and will start the quarterly. It is a great book, but we feel that it really covers things we have already covered.

Tamara is starting to get things going for some socials. I think we are looking at having "super club" groups which will made up of 3 to 4 couples. It we give us an opportunity to meet with each other in smaller groups and get to know each other better. Also, we have talked about going bowling as a group. Keep an eye out for upcoming events!

Marriage Seminar will be held at FBC on MArch 21st. I think it cost $45 a couple, and you have to sign up for it.
