This Sunday's sermon, “Love & Forgive NOT Judge & Condemn,” will be based on Luke 6:27-38. Please read the scripture to prepare for worship, and invite someone to join you as we continue to walk with Christ.

We are reading through the Bible with Bishop Debra Wallace-Padgett. The Grand Sweep, developed by Dr. J. Ellsworth Kalas, is guiding us from Genesis to Revelation.

Joy Fellowship will meet this Thursday, February 20, at 12 noon in Fellowship Hall. Our speaker will be John Marra. He will give us some ideas to get your lawn and garden off to a good start. Bring a dish to share and a friend, and join in a wonderful meal.

If you would like to be a part of the Forrest Burdette family, we would love to share the mission and passion of the church as well as the blessings of being a disciple of Jesus Christ. You are invited to an orientation class on Sunday, March 9, during the Sunday School hour (9:15 a.m.), in Pastor Joe’s office. You will learn about Forrest Burdette and what it means to be a member of this church. We will receive new members on March 16. If your membership is in another church, we can transfer your membership, or if you are not a member of another church, you may join via Profession of Faith. Please contact Pastor Joe or the church office for more information or to sign up (304-562-5903, office@forrestburdette.com).
