From the Pastor<br />
On Saturday, August 18 we gathered in the fellowship hall of the CEB on a mission.<br />
The place where we gather to eat with one another was transformed into a ministry<br />
hub with tables stacked with containers of rice and soy, dried vegetables and<br />
vitamin packets. Volunteers gathered around the tables to put together bags of<br />
ingredients. They were then weighed and sealed and packaged, ready to be sent to<br />
Haiti through Rise Against Hunger.<br />
As we worked, I was amazed by the way that in less than two hours we were able to<br />
prepare food for over 10,000 meals. I was delighted to see adults and children of all<br />
ages with hairnets and plastic gloves measuring out rice, moving bags from table to<br />
table, and packaging the meals into cardboard boxes. Linda Fletcher worked<br />
tirelessly to organize this event through our Missions Team and Women on<br />
Mission. After we were done, we vacuumed, restacked chairs and tables, and shared<br />
lunch together, thankful for the opportunity to serve as a church family.<br />
Earlier in August we gathered school supplies for one of our local elementary<br />
schools. Quarles Elementary received glue sticks, pencils, and boxes of new<br />
crayons through your generosity. And for over a month we have been collecting<br />
bags upon bags of toiletries and towels, filled by our church and other churches in<br />
our association, to benefit the migrant workers that come to our community each<br />
year. It is such a joy and privilege to serve at a church that seeks to serve our<br />
community and our world in both small and large ways—whether it is glue sticks,<br />
deodorant bars, or 10,000 meals!<br />
In an article a few years ago, Dan Hotchkiss wrote, “Some [congregations] have<br />
found it fruitful to reframe their social mission from “We serve the needy,” to “We<br />
transform our members into Christian disciples who live lives of service.” It is a<br />
small but important shift…Congregations can and do make a difference to the lives<br />
of those they help through the outreach ministries they sponsor. But they make an<br />
even greater difference in the lives of their own members.” (From “What is the<br />
Mission of Missions?” Clergy Journal, <strong>September</strong> 2006.)<br />
We engage in missions at <strong>First</strong> <strong>Baptist</strong> for a lot of wonderful reasons. We believe<br />
that in serving others we are serving Christ. We believe that as those who have been<br />
blessed, we have been called to become a blessing. We believe that each person is<br />
given gifts that can be used to serve and glorify God. But that isn’t all. We also serve<br />
our community and our world, our neighbors near and far, because we have learned<br />
that in doing so sometimes the lives that are transformed the most are our own.<br />
God Bless You!<br />

Youth Ministry<br />
New Rhythms<br />
As summer comes to a close, most of us are beginning new rhythms. School-age students are going back to<br />
school. College students are returning back to campus. Many people are fitting their last vacation days in and ready<br />
to get back to a normal schedule before the season of holidays and snow storms. I really like these transitions<br />
because they fill me with hopes of what is to be.<br />
On the first day of school for both city and county schools, I welcomed hundreds of middle schoolers back to<br />
school at Frederick County Middle School and at Daniel Morgan Intermediate School as part of the non-profit<br />
Bright Future’s welcome back to school events. The rising 5 th and 6 th graders looked especially hopeful about the<br />
new school year. I’m hoping you will continue praying for ALL students in our city and county.<br />
We will also be starting new rhythms again as a church family. In <strong>September</strong> we return to our scheduled<br />
Wednesday night activities. For student ministry this is the highlight of our week. It offers everyone a time to<br />
recharge spiritually in the middle of the week, to be reminded of God’s love, and to deepen relationships with one<br />
another.<br />
This fall will include mission opportunities one Wednesday each month. In the past we have served at Bright<br />
Futures and hope to do so again this fall. I’m also excited to announce that in the month of October the girls in<br />
our group will have a special study with leaders from the Laurel Center called “Valorous Voices.” This series will<br />
focus on empowering young women and discuss setting boundaries in life and relationships. The guys will hear<br />
from different men in the church about their work, life, and faith.<br />
As we settle into new rhythms we remain grateful for God’s steadiness through past seasons and for God’s<br />
steadiness in the days ahead.<br />

Lori’s “Grace Notes”<br />
“I will sing of the Lord’s love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all<br />
generations.” Psalm 89:1<br />
Page 3<br />
The Singin’ Seniors led beautifully in worship this summer! We had fun with the baseball themed sermon series<br />
and I managed to find anthems to match! As the Fall approaches, the Chancel Choir returns to lead the services.<br />
We continue our tradition with having our choirs lead every Sunday of the calendar year. These faithful singers<br />
tithe their talents and their time. Many hours of preparation go into rehearsals. Our choirs are vital to the life of<br />
our church and ministry. Here are 3 reminders of the wonderful ministry of our choirs:<br />
Joining a choir is an opportunity for involvement. A church’s ministry is only as effective as the congregation<br />
members who choose to get involved and share of themselves. When you join the choir, you’re not just singing<br />
notes together, you are sharing life and ministry together!<br />
The choir is an extension of the pulpit. The choir can take on a pastoral role by singing prepared pieces which can<br />
echo the sermon of the day. It may speak to someone in a way that only music can!<br />
The choir is a reflection of heaven. Isaiah 6:3 gives us a glimpse into God’s throne with angels singing together,<br />
“Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory!” In Revelation, John paints a<br />
picture of a heavenly choir that sings God’s praises forever.<br />
When we see and hear our brothers and sisters in Christ singing in harmony of voice and spirit, we can be<br />
transported momentarily to feel closer to God. The choir is made up of all kinds of different people with a variety<br />
of backgrounds, ages and experiences, which is also a reflection of heaven. God’s people, of every age and every<br />
race, worshipping together as one body of believers!<br />
FBC Kids<br />
It has now been over a month since our Sunday morning programming was displaced due to water damage and<br />
repair in the CEB.<br />
Thank you to the Word class for giving up your space to create a nursery in the Sanctuary building! Thank you to<br />
all of our volunteers who remained flexible! And thank you to parents for your patience and understanding! It was<br />
important to take the time with the clean up and repairs, giving our children a safe space to learn about God.<br />
<strong>September</strong> 23rd at 12:15 all parents are welcome and encouraged to attend a parents luncheon! You will receive a<br />
calendar and information about the events we have planned for this school year. Later that afternoon we will<br />
gather again at 4:00 PM for our first Special Kid’s Worship of the school year.<br />
Be on the lookout for upcoming dates for a new program called “Talk and Play” (parents talk while kids play). We<br />
will be meeting at different spaces around town and growing in friendship together!<br />
Keep checking your email & the church bulletin for our upcoming events! We have even added a Parents Night<br />
out to December so that parents can get some Christmas shopping done!<br />
Look forward to so much fun this fall! - Alison

Ask Kathy<br />
Kathy, please explain the role of our Fellowship Fund and how it functions.<br />
The Fellowship Fund is a program designed to help families in need with rental assistance, help paying a utility<br />
bill, and access to our food pantry. Funds for this program are provided by our church members (thank you all<br />
very much!). Food items are purchased for a very nominal cost through our local Blue Ridge Area Food Bank and<br />
many items are free. For example, the week of August 20 we purchased three varieties of fresh salad greens,<br />
breaded whole grain chicken strips and frozen whole chickens for an amazing $3! Several months ago we applied<br />
for and were granted a brand new upright freezer. This freezer currently resides in the CEB at the rear of our<br />
fellowship hall. Our food pantry is available to anyone in need. We serve those with appointments each<br />
Wednesday as well as anyone who calls our office and requests help. We are thankful to all those who have made<br />
this program possible.<br />

“Son”Shine Learning Center<br />
Conversations about School<br />
( Home & School-July <strong>2018</strong>)<br />
We are so excited to open another fantastic school year at ‘Son” Shine Learning Center on 9/4/18. Please read<br />
on for some fun conversations starters about school:<br />
When you think of parent involvement, do you picture moms and dads volunteering in classrooms? That’s one<br />
way to help-but research shows that supporting your child’s education at home is even more important. Here are<br />
conversation starters that will help you stay involved.<br />
“Let’s see what you brought home.”<br />
Look at completed work to find out what your youngster is learning and how well he/she is doing. You could<br />
compliment on her math work or social studies project, for instance. (‘You know a lot about our state’s history!)<br />
Also, respond to notes from his/her teachers, and sign her weekly folder or daily planner if required.<br />
“Show me what you have for homework.”<br />
It’s your child’s job to do his/her homework, but you play a role, too. By having your child explain what is<br />
needed, he/she will understand what is required. After he/she finishes his/her homework, glance over the work<br />
to see if it’s complete. Often, homework is a great indicator to the teacher if the child understands the material.<br />
“Describe a book you enjoyed today.”<br />
This gives you an idea of what your youngster prefers to read. Then, build a daily reading habit by asking what<br />
they’d like to read tonight. Encourage their reading and listening skills by reading aloud to her and letting your<br />
youngster read to you.<br />
“Tell me what you learned that you’d like to know more about.”<br />
Use his/her interests as jumping-off points for activities to share. If your youngster is fascinated by how animals<br />
adapt to winter, take your child to the library to research the subject or to the zoo to see live animals.<br />
After school questions<br />
Asking “How was school today?” might not get you far. Instead, ask questions like these for a better picture of<br />
your youngster’s day:<br />
What’s the coolest thing that happened? What wasn’t so cool?<br />
“Pretend you’re the teacher” How would you describe the day?”<br />
“What made you laugh?<br />
“What was the most creative thing you did?”<br />
“How were you kind or helpful today?” Was anyone kind or helpful to you?”
