			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Today in the morning service, several of our members were recognized for their participation in 2009&#8242;s One-Year Bible Reading challenge.  This year the challenge has been re-emphasized with a new reading plan to encourage more people to get involved.
<br /><span id="more-555"></span><br />
As Christians we recognize the necessity of knowing God&#8217;s Word to strengthen our walk with Him.  Through this challenge, Christians are asked to commit to a deeper spiritual walk for their benfit and the benefit of the Kingdom.  All Christians alike are invited to participate with us in this to see the work of the Kingdom strengthened in the coming year through personal growth.
<br /><br />
See Sis. Tammy L. for more details.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[As we return to normal life today, following five days of prayer and fasting called by Pastor Owens this past Sunday, may we <em>not</em> return to normal life.<br /><span id="more-552"></span>
<br />
This week&#8217;s call to prayer and fasting is more than a one-week commitment.  As Christians it should be a renewal of the covenant that we made with God when we accepted His gift of salvation.  There is so much more to being a &#8220;Christian&#8221; than simply having the title, yet that is often all that we expect of it.  In His Word, Jesus warned us against becoming lukewarm in our lives, but rather to pursue being on fire for Him.  By choosing to fast and pray, as well as making the effort to serve His Kingdom in other ways, we show our love for Him and our desire to share with others the love we&#8217;ve been shown.<br />
<br />
In this new year, may you realize your worth in the family of God.  May you find your place in His Church, and may you live your life to the fullest by fully relying on Him for direction, guidance, and the strength to follow through.  This is your Second Chance.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[This month has been a very busy one, preparing for a special business meeting to discuss our church government and issues regarding our existing Constitution and By-laws.  After our meeting this month, however, everything has been squared away and the church is ready to move on with new excitement for doing God&#8217;s work!  If you missed this meeting and would like to know more about the changes that have been made, inquire of the Deacons or Sis. Liz Tomlin for details.  New documents will be available as soon as they are printed.<br />
<br />
Thank you church members for your support in getting this process completed to empower the body of Christ to function properly, as it should.  In the days ahead, we are expecting great things to be done for the kingdom in a united spirit for doing His Work.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Congratulations Youth!<br />
<br />
Today marks the end of a trip to Orlando, Florida by four of our FireHouse Youth Ministries students and their sponsors.  This week was the Assemblies of God General Council and National Fine Arts Festival, which our youth competed at for the first time ever this year.  All six competitions our youth entered ranked them &#8220;Superior,&#8221; promising even better chances next year now that we know the ropes!<br />
<br />
A special thanks to all who contributed to funding this trip and other endeavors for our Youth Department this year and also to the sponsors who saw to making this trip a success.<br />
<br />
Our youth have stepped to a new level this year by pursuing involvement in District and National events, and they have returned intent on even deeper involvement in their community.  Each night&#8217;s service provided challenge after challenge to be Christ in our world every day.  This is only the beginning of FireHouse&#8217;s Youth in Ministry for Christ.<br />
<br />
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br />
<br />
On September 9th, 2009, all youth in the Assemblies of God have been challenged to turn in an offering of $100 each to supplement the work of Christ&#8217;s church around the world.  Please be open to helping support this effort and be in prayer for the national goal of $9 million through this one-time offering to be reached.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Once again, our volunteers for Kids Crusade have done an outstanding job.<br />
<br />
If you missed out on Kids Crusade this year, we hope that you will consider being a part next year!  However, you don&#8217;t have to wait until then to find out what First Assembly has to offer.  God is at work in the people of our church and we invite you to come experience and grow with us as we press on year-round toward a deeper and stronger relationship with our Lord.<br />
<br />
Through this year&#8217;s Kids Crusade focused on Paul&#8217;s life work and the lives of members of the underground church.  In our society we are able to worship God freely and without fear of punishment, but those rights are only ours as long as we actively use and defend them.  At First Assemlby of God, we are a church body with a heart for reaching the children and adults of our community.  We see the need around us for a new approach to winning the lost and we are taking the initiative to do our very best for the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
Won&#8217;t you join us in making this world into what God would have it to be?]]></content:encoded>
