To everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. . .for there is a time for every purpose and for every work." Ecclesiastes 3:1, 17

Solomon's words encourage us all that God has a plan and purpose for each one of us. Many are already looking for spring and warmer weather to come, and it will come in its time. Now, as we wait—sometimes impatiently—let's give God time to prepare us for the next season in our lives and our church. Let's rejoice in the harvest God gives to us and continue to plant seeds for His kingdom.

Several people took the Stewardship Challenge to begin tithing and teaching their children about tithing over the next two months. I am looking forward to hearing testimonies of how God has worked in their families' lives.  

Serving Together for His Glory,

March is here, which means Winter is coming to an end, Spring is right around the corner, and Summer will be here before we know it! We have another Summer packed full of fun, so be sure to look for the Summer Calendar to be released soon! This month, on March 4, some of our wonderful VBS leaders will attend the VBS Regional Training in Jackson, TN. We are excited to gain some ideas and inspiration for this year’s “Magnified” VBS, as well as attend some breakout sessions to better equip us as leaders. Please prayerfully consider signing up to volunteer for Vacation Bible School this Summer. Volunteer sign ups will begin later this month.

In the Nursery, we have some exciting changes taking place. The Lord is continuing to be so good to us, and some growth in numbers has led us to officially reopen the Bed Babies classroom. With another classroom in the rotation, the need for more volunteers has grown significantly. Last month, we introduced a new method of signing up to volunteer in the Nursery. With our new system, volunteers can visit a website link, where they are able to select the date, hour, and classroom they would like to volunteer for. For access to this link, please email me at abby@fbcsville.com or contact a member of the Nursery Committee.

I am looking forward to all that God has in store for us in the weeks to come!

Wow! Life and ministry have been both chaotic and amazing so far in 2025. We have taken students to Briar Ridge Hunting Retreat where one student was saved, we have baptized another student, we have experienced another awesome weekend of Disciple Now, we had an amazing night at our Student and Family Ministry Vision Night, and we completed our first year back as a part of the Children’s Basketball League in Fayette County. The Lord has blessed us richly with so many amazing opportunities for ministry, and there are so many people I would like to thank personally in this note but don’t have the space to do so! However, thank you to all who have volunteered to serve in all of these amazing ministries! We couldn’t do what we do without the love and support of our church! As we head into March, we are looking to do some smaller fun activities and service projects around Spring Break, so if anyone has any ideas for local service projects, please feel free to reach out to me! We are looking forward to another amazing month of serving our great God!
