February 2010 Angel Food Distribution and News
Posted by: | CommentsWe have truly been blessed here at FBC-St. Joseph in regards to the ministry of Angel Food. It has blessed us in three outstanding ways. The first way is through the obedience of God’s Word! We know that God has called His Church the “Body of Christ” to feed those who are hungry, give drink to the thirsty and clothing to the naked. Angel Food has been the platform that the Lord has used for us to fulfill His purpose for us in regard to this command from our Lord. (Matthew 25:31-46)
Secondly, we have been blessed by having the opportunity to get food to individuals and families that have been struggling financially as all of us have encountered in some shape and form from the rippling effects of our staggering economy. In the winds of a recessionary period this is a food program that truly lightens the financial burden of the cost of groceries without compromising the quality of what you are accustomed to eating. What a blessing!
Lastly, this has been a ministry that has brought our dynamic and very diverse “Body of Believers” together as one “Family” to collectively carry out the work of the Lord in regards to feeding people. Men and women, college students, teenagers and even children have continued to donate their time to the ministry effort. To date, our Angel Food Ministry is one of the largest and most productive ministries in our fellowship. God is allowing us to touch His Heart and touch the lives of those living around us “one box at a time!” Angel Food offers a variety of balanced nutritional food to feed a family of four for about one week for $30.00. Angel Food also offers variety of other boxes of fruit and vegetables, allergen-free boxes, convenience meal boxes, and meat boxes of all varieties.
Please pray for us in the days to come as the Lord has laid on our hearts to endeavor to reach out farther into the surrounding counties in the days and weeks to come. For example: (Lauderdale Co. in Al., and Wayne Co. in Tn.)
This extension of our ministry will include cities like: Lexington, Greenhill, Killen, and Florence in Al., and Iron City, Collinwood, Holly Creek, and Waynesboro in Tn.

“Dare To Love”
Posted by: | Comments
Come be a part of our new young adult married small group bible study here at the church. We will be offering this life changing Bible study on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am and on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m, for 10-12 weeks, beginning February 14th. This study is based on the world renowned movie, “Fireproof.” In a home there are several different relationships that make up what is called a family! However there is only one relationship in the home that is to be the foundation that keeps the whole family together! The Marriage relationship! In the real world when life throws us it’s many curve balls that cause many hardships and difficult situations, the relationship that has to endure most of the strain and stress is the one between husband and wife! In this day and time there are too many marriages that are “burning to the ground” so to speak and that is why we feel that it is necessary to do everything we can to reach out and offer with God’s Word a “fireproof” plan for the marriage! We have called this study, “DARE TO LOVE!” With this thought being the entire purpose: “Dare to love your spouse like Christ! Through Christ! Unconditionally!” If you are a young adult couple that is married or married with children or know someone who is in this time and season of their lives, invite them and come along with them to grow closer to God, and closer to your spouses that God has given you! We hope to see you on Valentine’s Day or before!
God Bless,
-FBC St. Joseph
