Israel 2020
May 4-14 with Jim and Charlene Barber – brochures are being finalized and will be available shortly.

Sunday Morning Prelude
One of the most amazing things about Faith Bible Church is how crazy early some come to our services and the joy you have in fellowshipping with one another. It is wonderful! However, the playing of a prelude by our instrumentalists is a gentle reminder that the service is about to begin. AND the songs played are intended to be “heart preparation”. Please save the last bit of your conversation for after the service, enjoy the musical offering and permit others to do the same. THANKS!

Upcoming Sermons
Pastor Jim is preaching a series of sermons from the last twelve books of the Old Testament. Usually called the “Minor Prophets” in contrast to the larger “Major Prophets” these preachers still have a message fully worthy of our attention. Today is Amos, next Sunday is Obadiah. Read ahead this week and be ready for “Do You Like Short Sermons?”

Faith Bible Church Choir
This fall we plan to have the adult choir reassemble to sing about half of the Sundays from September to June. Ruth Barber will be directing once again. Rehearsals will be held on the Thursday evening prior to the Sundays we’ll be singing. We are eager to have former singers back in place and are inviting new voices to help boost the numbers in each section. A schedule of rehearsals and the specific Sundays the choir will sing will be established shortly. Please speak with either Ruth or Pastor Jim to indicate your participation or to get more info.

6:00 @ 600
For June, July, and August our evening services are held once each month. Usually this gathering is on the last weekend of each month except where it is a holiday long weekend. Join us next Sunday evening when Pastor Jordan will be preaching from Isaiah 43:1-7.

Library News
Summertime is a great time to find a quiet place to read a book. Check out the many selections in the FBC Library. There are two new fiction books on the “Recent Additions Shelf”. Outbreak by Davis Bunn and The Persian Gamble by Joel Rosenberg. If you like fast-paced action be sure to look these up. Rosenberg’s book is the second installment in “The Kremlin Conspiracy” series. If someone has beat you to the shelves there is so much more to enjoy. Visit the library today!

Pastor Jim’s Pen – Radio Broadcast Changes

We are now in our 18th month of broadcasting Sunday sermons from Faith Bible Church over CFAM (Altona, MB), CHSM “AM1250” (Steinbach, MB), CJRB (Boissevain, MB), CKSW (Swift Current, SK) and CJSN (Shaunavon, SK) and in our 6th month of broadcasting over CHRB “AM1140” (High River, AB). Right from the start of these Sunday evening prime time radio releases on January 7, 2018, I have been delighted with how many have taken the initiative to say they have heard the FBC broadcasts. A couple weeks ago I was at the Union Gospel Mission and an older man recognizing me rather shyly came to say “I’m listening to your radio sermons.” The previous week I was visiting a man who is staying long term in a Winnipeg hospital. Few of his belongings were with him but he had his small radio. Without me asking he said “I’m listening on Sunday evenings.” And many more notes just like these could be added here. Radio is still an effective tool in Gospel proclamation and in encouraging and strengthening the saints!

The Lord has met the financial needs, even as at the start of this year we added the powerful High River station to cover southern Alberta. God has seen every bill cared for without delay, without the need of another annoying mailing list, and without extended appeals taking up air time which is better used for the proclamation of the word.

For all of this we greatly rejoice!

However, changes are coming this September. I wanted you to be aware, even now, of the reasons for these changes.

Although at 600 Minto St. I am known as FBC’s pastor, beyond our walls most people identify me as a part of Faith To Live By’s work. Faith Bible Church and Faith To Live By have a unique relationship and share much in common. Both work out of the same tiny office space and seek to help one another in many ways. Yet, they are completely separate in their leadership boards and financial accounts. Some “out there” understand this well but it has become obvious there is confusion among many FTLB TV viewers and FBC Radio listeners about how these two work together. Cheques are sometimes (incorrectly) sent to Faith Bible Church for our “TV ministry” and cheques come (incorrectly) to Faith To Live By for our “radio work.” Attempting to discern where the funds are intended to go, redirecting those funds, keeping all financial books in line with CRA receipting requirements and informing our supporters of how they should appropriately direct a donation in the future – is all time consuming work. A better, simpler solution is needed.

After seeking the counsel of others in the field of media ministry, we believe it best that Faith Bible Church hand over the radio broadcast work to Faith To Live By. In this way, the TV and radio work will all come under one umbrella and Faith Bible Church, though continuing to provide the sermons to be aired on the radio broadcast, will focus on local church work. The radio program will be more readily recognized as “a presentation of Faith To Live By.” Faith To Live By will help to make known the availability of the radio work through its wall calendar, website and other advertising avenues. Consequently, all TV and radio donations will then be to the one ministry (FTLB) rather than divided between the two.

One other change is the program name. Beginning in September, instead of the radio time being known as “Faith Bible Church of Winnipeg” a new name “HEARTS TO BELIEVE” will be used. This ties in with how I have repeatedly signed off from the broadcasts. You may have heard me say “Join us in praying that as God’s word is proclaimed there would be ears to hear and HEARTS TO BELIEVE.”

It is only natural in a world where we are swimming in constant change that the question be asked “How is the broadcast itself going to change?” The answer is that it will continue with myself as the primary preacher. The broadcast will continue to be sermons which have been first heard over the pulpit of Faith Bible Church in a Sunday morning or evening service. The objective, as before, will continue to be to plainly send out the word of God by which lives are transformed to the glory of God.

Thank you for continuing to pray for this work. If you wish to make a donation to help with the radio broadcast over the summer (that is, prior to Sept. 1) please direct your donation to FBC” (using an FBC envelope marked “RADIO”). Radio program donations in September and onwards should be sent to FTLB.

Urgent Union Gospel Mission Need
Due to the warm temperatures we are experiencing and anticipating, we have an urgent need for bottled water for our guests through our street ministry. The people in the community need to remain hydrated as they spend most of their time outdoors. If you can help, please drop off donations at 320 Princess St. or bring them to 600 Minto St. and we will see that they are sent to UGM.

Participation is open to all who have confessed Jesus as Lord and who are seeking to faithfully and obediently walk as His disciple. As the servers pass the bread and the cups along the rows, please take a portion and hold onto it until all have been served. We will then eat the bread and drink the cup together and remember our Lord’s broken body and shed blood. If you are not a follower of Jesus Christ, please do not eat of the bread or drink the cup, but do stay with us as an observer.

Upcoming Sermons
Pastor Jim has begun a 12 part summertime sermon series on the Minor Prophets of the Old Testament. For years preachers have wearied themselves to emphasize that “Minor” applies only to the size of these books compared the Major Prophets – Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel. There was nothing “minor” about the message each was to preach at the direction of the Lord! Last week was Hosea. Next Sunday will be Joel. Read ahead this week in preparation for next Sunday’s message.
