With many new initiatives and vision for change at our church, there has been quite a buzz around campus. Know that Jeff Warren, Bryan Doyle and Chris Stull will be hosting 2 more forums to discuss the potential "renaming" of our Church. Some of us attended the meeting on Wednesday night and found it very informative. It's a great way to really see all different views on the idea of the change. There will be another meeting this Sunday at 4pm in the Gym and another next Wed at 645p in the Gym.

Jan 11th, 2009 BFG Newsletter

Well here we all are, finally getting back into our schedules for 2009. We have much to look forward to this year in our BFG as many are having babies, changing jobs, adopoting little ones, etc. As we all know, 2009 will be a challenging year as well for our economy and country. So we all need to remember who is REALLY in charge and no matter what our situation, He will be there, faithful, walking along side us. Todd brought a fantastic message that completely energized our class this morning on "What we want out of our BFG." After the class there was quite a buzz in the halls and after Service about his great message and hope for our class for 2009. His honesty and open desire to build Christian Fellowship through our class was so apparant. The Lord wants us to be in community with one another. Being connected allows us to bless and be blessed by others. I thank the Lord for bringing this group of people together in our Bible Fellowship Group. Thank you Todd for your message and leadership & we are all looking forward to a great '09!
