Seasons come and go every year. We don't make the determination as to when they will start and end. We function in each one in a way that will serve our needs, enjoying the things we like about the particular season or enduring the parts we don't particularly like.
Because of the pandemic we have entered a season we have never before encountered. We have adapted and changed patterns we have kept all our lives. These changes have not come without some stress and discomfort, but we have managed.
Perhaps not all of this has been bad for us. It has certainly been an exercise in reevaluation. Though I am saddened that our privilege of corporate worship has been interrupted, we have found ways to continue until we can resume our beloved way of gathering. As your director of music my mind has worked overtime to consider ways to present quality music in worship during this season. However, I have imagined that even when this season is over there may be better ways of doing things than we have in the past. It is an idea that has drawn me to ask God's direction for the new path that is ahead.
Let's all pray that in addition to our cherished traditions that we remain open to change.
Mike Barnhouse

Fundraising Opportunity for Heart + Hand!
Donations for our new Forrest Burdette, FBUth, and FBKids logos face mask (gaiter style) will go toward the purchase of a free little library at Heart + Hand Thrift Store, just like the one we have at Forrest Burdette! Any funds raised over the amount needed will go toward the purchase of new books to be shared. $10 suggested donation. Masks are available in the office during the week or on Sundays in the Narthex.

Live Stream Tech Volunteers Needed
To help continue our Facebook-Live presence for our 10:30 a.m. worship services moving forward, we are going to need several volunteers to train and learn the process to help this outreach. We are blessed with the technology to be able to reach others for Christ in this new way. Please consider being a part of this team! Please contact Karen in the office or Pastor Jeremy.
