Greetings,

The spirit and attitude in our worship services have been great. God is teaching us a lot of things, and I believe that He has great things in store in the days and weeks ahead. Over the next two Sundays I will be finishing the sermon series on Affirming Biblical Principles for Church Growth. This Sunday, May 13, I will preach on the dangers of “dabbling” in sin. On May 20, I will speak on God as the true evangelist of the church. Then we will move into a new phase on the subject of Focusing on Kingdom Results. It is really important that all churches focus on the Kingdom of God rather than just our church in particular.

Please continue to pray for the Pastor Search Team. We are continuing the training and preparation, and we are getting closer to the time when the position of Senior Pastor will be advertised and resumes will be solicited. This team has an important job, and it can be done successfully only through prayer and walking by faith in obedience to God. In the meantime, there are people all around us who need to hear about “the hope that lies within us.” So let’s be faithful to look for opportunities to share Christ.

Grace and Peace,

Brother Bob

Grace and peace,

We had a great time of worship and praise on Sunday. God is moving, and I can’t wait to see what is next. Remember, this Sunday night, May 6, we will be looking at demographic information on the area around the church. We will learn a lot about the people who live within a five mile radius of the church building as well as those who live in the Rosharon Zip Code.  This will help us have a better idea of some of the ministry opportunities that are out there.

Please continue to pray for the Pastor Search Team. They are continuing their training. For the last several weeks we have been studying different areas of the Baptist Faith and Message so that when the Team begins to evaluate resumes and interview candidates they can evaluate doctrine and the candidates’ understanding of church life. In the next couple of weeks, the Team will have the results of the surveys that were turned in. They will use these to begin to build a profile of the type of man that can lead First Baptist Church of Rosharon to reach this community with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

May God bless you richly, and we look forward to seeing you each Sunday.

Brother Bob

It is time to face the music and share with the church that I need help desperately. Wednesday night attendance has reached a point where my level of skill, patience, and wisdom are not enough to wrangle the unruly throng.

This is merely a step in my plan to recruit helpers for the youth group. I know that our pool of volunteers at FBC Rosharon is small, but I plan, with the help of a few others and some intense prayer, to find TWO people that can come and help change my role on Wednesday nights from authoritarian to teacher.

I’ve been given a lot of very helpful and friendly advice from several people that are far wiser than myself, but it’s been established that putting some of that into practice is going to take more than just Julie and I.

If you are available, able, willing, experienced, or even slightly interested in helping us out, let me know as soon as you can.

Easter Music Rehearsals Underway

The Celebration Choir and FBCR Praise Team have begun work on our Easter music program to be presented on Sunday, April 1 during the morning service. Our program will include meaningful music of the Savior’s sacrifice on the cross. Please join us for our rehearsals Sunday afternoons at 4 pm for Praise Team and 5 pm for Celebration Choir. Our rehearsals are fun and uplifting. Don’t miss out on the fellowship of the choir and the chance to be a blessing in the services.

Thank You!

Many thanks to the First Baptist musicians who worked so hard this Christmas!  You were a blessing to all of us.  Thank You for the hours of rehearsal, your sweet spirits and you faithfulness to the Lord.  What an honor to work here with you.

This is my 33rd year to do Christmas programs! I’ve never been busier or enjoyed them more.  I was in, or directed severn programs this year.  I love Christmas music and enjoyed all of it.

Now that a new year has started, let’s dedicate ourselves to another year of service in the musical worship of our Savior.  There are so many ways to listen to music today.  I was thinking that I’ve listened to Christmas music this year on CD’s, MP3′s, Pandora, Media Player, streaming websites, You Tube, satellite radio, television, FM radio, live school programs and church concerts.  With all of these ways to experience music, let’s not neglect the greatest way to praise Him – that’s with our own voices and our lives.

Please seriously consider joining with us as we prepare and present music each week at FBC Rosharon.  You will find a place in the Choir, Praise Team, special music, sound ministry, or Children’s Choir.  Let me know of what you would like to do this year.

It’s here!  We have deliberated, pondered and wrestled with idea after idea and have chosen a name for the Youth Group!!

A. W. O. L. – A Way Of Life

With this banner we hope to represent Christ in a way that shows people that following Christ is SO MUCH More than what happens at church.  We are faithful.  We are available.  We are teachable.  We are A. W. O. L.

We will be applying this to the walls fo our youth room on January 15 when we have our pizza and paint party.  Cross your finger, hold your breath and pray that God will keep as much paint on the WALLS as possible!

That’s all for now.  See you back here next month with more A. W. O. L. News!
