February is always a special month here at FBC Somerville. This year’s annual Valentine Banquet is on February 7 at 6 pm, so please make your reservation today. Our special guest will be Brian Dunn.

As a time of the year when we reflect on the love that we have for our spouses and families, we want to express our love to Jesus, our Savior. Christians are called to serve, and I want to share areas where you can serve.

-We are so thankful for the growth that God has given to FBC, especially in the children’s area, so we need more volunteers willing to serve on a rotating list in the Nursery ministry.

Remember, Jesus loves the little children!

-If you have an interest in audio, video, or multi-media, we are looking to build a team of volunteers.

-Greeters are the first face our guests will see. Your smiling face and warm welcome are needed.

There is a place for everyone to serve!

So thankful to serve with you,

Brother Stan

2026 is in full swing, and we are looking forward to all God has in store for us this year. Thank you to everyone who joined us in the Hub on the first Sunday in January to start the new year by praying for our Preschool and Children’s Ministries. The Lord has been growing these ministries in mighty ways over the past year, through attendance, programming, and salvations. This growth requires us to adapt and adjust so that we can most efficiently and effectively minister to our young families and their children. We can’t do that without help from more volunteers. Please continue to pray that the Lord will send us faithful servants, and pray about what your role might be in our Preschool and Children’s Ministries. The Children’s Ministry Committee is working on the calendar for the year, so be on the lookout for what’s to come.

We are so excited for all that the Lord is doing in our Student and Recreation ministries here at FBC Somerville! Our Wednesday nights for the semester have kicked off, and we have had great attendance and responses from students as we have been discussing the person and work of Jesus each Wednesday. At the end of January, our students will have attended and enjoyed a weekend at Briar Ridge hunting camp, which is always a fruitful weekend. I offer a special thanks to Mark Fitzpatrick for all of his hard work and devotion to this ministry. Next month, in the last weekend of February, our church will host the Fayette Baptist Association’s Disciple Now. Please pray for all students, leaders, preachers, and worship leaders as we prepare for that weekend.

Children’s basketball is running smoothly, and I am so grateful for all of the families and volunteers who are involved in this important ministry. Church basketball had a profound impact on my spiritual nourishment as a child, and it is rewarding to see the same thing happen with children at our church today.
