Dare
to Be a Disciple
- John 21:15-25
This
Sunday will be our last Sunday in the book of John. As we have
gone through these 21 chapters, we have learned so much about
the love of the Savior for His children as well as what He
expects of us.
Our
final message in the book of John is Dare to Be a
Disciple. We know that as believers, we are all called to
be disciples of Jesus Christ. So the question is: what are the
things that set apart a true disciple of Christ? Remember to
read through the book of Mark this week. As you do, I believe
it will provide great insight into being the disciple He has
called each of us to be.
I
hope you will make every effort to attend our Family Business
Meeting this coming Wednesday night at 6:30 in the sanctuary.
Love you guys and look forward to seeing you then!

Family Business
Meeting
On
January 25, 2009, it was discussed in the Family Business
Meeting (FBM) that Ricky Adams was getting prices for
renovating the church sanctuary. Over the last 15 months,
Ricky has worked with several contractors to find the one that
seemed to fit our needs the best. At the January 2010 FBM,
Ricky reported that he had received some preliminary numbers
and planned to meet with the Governing Council next. Based on
that meeting the Governing Council makes the following
recommendation: The Governing Council recommends that the
church grants permission to the Building Committee, working in
conjunction with the Church Council, to proceed with the
sanctuary renovations in a cost not to exceed $240,000.
There
is a second recommendation coming from the Governing Council
concerning funds from the King estate and Lamb estate. This
recommendation states: We of the Governing Council move that,
as in the past, a tenth, or as we say, a tithe, of that money
be put into a temporary restricted account to be used for
God's work by our Jerusalem Team for local
missions. |

How to Become Part of the
Front Street Family
First, we would like to thank
you for your interest in Front Street. Before becoming a
member, we feel that you should truly understand our heart and
vision before you join our church family, and the new member's
class is designed to help you have a clear understanding of
your new church family.
Please note that you are not
required to join Front Street after attending the New Member's
Class. In fact,
you will not be pressured in any way to join. We want to encourage
you to continue to seek God's will on whether He desires for
you to plant your life here with us.
The new member's class is a
four week class, held during the Sunday School hour. The next class will be
held in
April. Those
dates for the adult class or for the children's
class are April 11, 18, 25 and
May 2.
To sign up for the adult class (which includes
youth), or to sign your child up for the children's
class, please contact the church office at (704) 872-7623
or email Pastor Tim at tim@frontstreet.org.
