The Celebrate Recovery ministry at FBC is now taking place every Friday night at 6:00 pm. The meeting will include a large group meeting which will feature supper, large group worship, and small share groups. Celebrate Recovery is a ministry for anyone 18 and older who are facing any kind of battle with a hurt, habit, or hang-up in their life. This is a life-changing opportunity to get together with others who face similar issues and find support and accountability in a fun, challenging, and inspirational setting.

The Celebrate Recovery large group meeting will be held in the FBC Goodwin Life Center multi-purpose room beginning with supper at 6:00 pm before moving to a worship time. Childcare is provided for this event. If you have been wanting things to change in your life, then NOW is the time! Join your neighbors and friends Friday night at 6:00 pm. The Celebrate Recovery Director is Johnny Cupples. For more information call the office at 739-3944.

The final revival worship service was held Wednesday night, but the results will last for eternity. During the week of Revival with Evangelist Phil Waldrep (www.philwaldrep.org), we saw 27 come for public profession of faith and baptism, 2 join FBC by letter, and one surrender to full-time Christian ministry. Additionally, there were many other important decisions made throughout the week.

The Children's ministry also experienced an amazing time with Shay Caldwell and Wacky Time Live. On Wednesday night alone there were 101 first through fifth graders present. During the week 6 have talked to an adult counselor about receiving Jesus as their Savior.

What a great week! Now we move back to our sermon series called "FREE TO LIVE" this Sunday. I hope everyone will be back in Sunday School and Worship at 9:00 am and 10:30 am.

Due to winter weather conditions, our revival service is canceled for Monday, February 8. Currently, ice is accumulating in the church parking lot, and travel conditions to and from the church will become increasingly treacherous by this evening.

We will make a decision by 1:00 pm tomorrow about tomorrow evening's service. Please check fbcmarionark.org for the very latest weather-related schedule information.

We experienced an amazing beginning to our revival with evangelist Phil Waldrep yesterday in our two morning services as well as our afternoon service and football game fellowships. We continue praying for a movement of God in our midst during this time of revival.

Evangelist Phil Waldrep will be our special guest evangelist for our upcoming Revival on February 7-10 here at FBC, Marion. Phil is a nationally known and sought after evangelist who will challenge our lives. This is going to be a great week together as we seek to worship the Lord, hear from Him, and see lives changed.

Pastor Clay Hallmark will be hosting a tour to the Holy Land on October 4-13, 2010. If you are interested, you can email the pastor at clay@fbcmarionark.org to make any inquiries related to this exciting, once in a lifetime trip. The trip includes time in all the holy sites around Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv, Caesarea, Banais, Bet-Shean, Galilee, Nazareth, Bethlehem, the Dead Sea, Masada, En Gedi, Megiddo, Mt. Carmel, and baptism in the Jordan River. A $300.00 deposit is due by February 21, 2010.

On Sunday, January 10 - March 14, 2010, Pastor Clay Hallmark began a new sermon series and worship emphasis called "FREE TO LIVE" based on the words of Jesus in John 10:10 where He said, "I have come that you might have life and you might have it more abundantly", and the Beattitudes of Jesus found in Sermon on the Mount recorded in Matthew 5. There was a great crowd and many people have already responded in some significant way.
