Caring Concern

ABF Family,

What a great time we had Sunday at the park. Thank you to all that came and added too such a beautiful day. What an incredible picture of Christian famlies in fellowship. A little kick ball, kids in the creek (oh that was mine), good food, Easter egg hunt and families getting to know each other. God has surely put together a group of wonderful folks. Thank you to all that made this happen.

Our conversation in class was great as well. True disciplship was the topic. We are called to be Jesus's disciples but it will include some suffering. Suffering here is temporary and the Glory lasts forever in eterntiy. What incredible news.

Lets get together this Saturday and visit God's Word again. I am anxious to hear what God says to you as you study this week.

Have a truly blessed week,

Brian

Hi ABF
I wanted you to know that Mike & the kiddos wont be able to make it tomorrow. He is not feeling good & that's my day to work up at the church. Mike said he'd bring a tent & I can take that with me to church and someone coming from that side of town can pick it up. I also have the pasta salad that I made that can be picked up too. If anyone does want to pick up the tent and/or pasta salad give me a call on my cell so I know to bring them up there with me in the morning. Sorry to miss all the fun tomorrow!!!

Have a blessed day!Shana Murphy

Crushing Sacrifice

ABF Family,

We are back! The Young family had an awesome time on Spring Break but sure missed everyone. I hope each of you had a great week as well. Thank you to both John and Brian for teaching while I was out. I am sure it was a blessing for both of them and for those that got to hear the lesson.

I look forward to discussing this weeks topic, "Crushing Sacrifice." Sounds exciting hugh? I am sure it will be. Please spend time looking through the verses as you go through the week.

Be Blessed,

Brian

Spiritual Insight

With Spring Break beginning, I wasn't sure what attendance to expect in class Saturday night. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people who were present, especially the 6 visiting couples. I want to thank our class members who made the effort to welcome the visitors. Shaking a hand and saying hello or welcome is the kindling that helps fuel the fire of our fellowship together. Our visitors are attracted to the warmth of our fellowship. Fan the flames and continue the good work.

Brian Tate has graciously agreed to lead the discussion and teach this Saturday night. Please be in prayer for Brian as he prepares the lesson. Come to class with a prepared heart and open ears for what God will share through him.

Have a great week.
John
