PASTOR'S UPDATE
 BUDGET TIMEAs I write this update we are in the middle of our annual budget meeting. The finance team composed of the deacons, treasurer and staff meet together for two nights to set the budget for the coming year. Last night we didn't finish till 10. This isn't glamours work but it is necessary. I am thankful for these men who are willing to give a couple nights to set the financial course for our church. Pray for us as we finish up tonight. We will be presenting the 2008 budget later this month. For 32 years God has faithfully met the financial needs of this church and I thank Him for His faithfulness to this local church. (P. S. THANKS LADIES FOR THE FOOD :)
- Our building debt is below $45,000 because of your generous giving
- You gave $1,624 to the Special offering last Sunday for Charlie Baker
- We are averaging over $300 a month to 20 different mission projects
9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
 CHURCH FLOAT
Christmas is in the air and on the pavement. Some hardy souls at our church are rallying the troops for a Christmas float in the Covington Christmas Parade. Read all about it on MyChurch at this link: Church float
EAGLE SCOUT CEREMONY - ETHAN CALVERT- THIS SUNDAY NIGHT 6 PM Here is Ethan on the Faithcam, hope you will join us for this special service. This is a very high honor in Scouting and Ethan achieved this award through his mission project in Mexico. Hope you will plan to be with us for this unique service.
 Doug Williams and family will be our special guests this Sunday Morning. Doug is a part of the mission family here at Faith. Doug is serving in Ecuador and has a unique ministry to the Awa Indians. He is in the USA on a working furlough. He is presently involved in translating the Bible into the Awa language. You will thrill to hear how God is using this family for His glory.

HAPPY IS HE WHO THOROUGHLY UNDERSTANDS THAT THOUGH CHRISTIANITY HOLDS OUT A CROWN IN THE END, IT BRINGS ALSO A CROSS IN THE WAY.--J. C. Ryle
