“Well done, good and faithful servant!” ~ Matthew 25:21 ~ retirement noun 1. the act of retiring, withdrawing, or leaving; the state of being retired. 2. the act of retiring or of leaving one's job, career, or occupation permanently, usually because of age. The time has finally come! Sherrie Hunt has served the Lord and us since November 5, 2006 as Treasurer of First Southern Baptist Church. This summer she officially retired — but she has graciously stayed here to do a complete turn over with our new Treasurer, Diana Lindsey. We will be having her official “Retirement Celebration” this Sunday evening, July 30th at 6 p.m., in the Fellowship Hall. For the past 2½ years I have been teasing with Sherrie that I was sure it was not time for her to retire. In fact, I told her many times I would let her know when it was time! Of course, only God has that right. King Solomon — the wisest man who ever lived — wrote: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven…” ~ Ecclesiastes 3:1 ~
So, following God’s leadership, Sherrie is laying down her calculator — well not completely. She has accepted the position of Assistant Treasurer, so that our financial wellbeing as a church can carry on at times of vacations. I hope all of you will come Sunday evening to express your love and gratitude for her challenging work. Behind the scenes, every week, she has made sure that the many ministries here have had the necessary funding in place to see their work happen. Even with a financially healthy church, there is much advanced financial planning that must take place for every ministry we do. Sherrie has served us beyond well in this area!
We will miss her working for us here in the office — but the good news — she will still be around — she will still be a member of the FSBCPV family! Happy Retirement Sherrie! Blessings on your week as you seek God’s wisdom in knowing what season of work that you are in for the Lord — and then engaging in it. Pastor Terrell
August 13th: For all current Sunday morning Bible Study staff (Adult teachers, substitutes, elective teachers, Children’s teachers, helpers, Kidz4Christ workers, Good News Club workers, AWANA Clubs workers, VBS workers, Youth staff). This is not only for current workers but also if you are interested in being part of the educational team at FSBCPV, please come. There is no fee because it is free! There will be a time of fellowship, with food, and preparation for this next school year. It will be a time to encourage one another, a short time of instruction on the importance of including doctrinal teaching with our Bible stories and some future considerations of room painting (murals) and decorating.
It will be right after the 10:30 am service in the Fellowship Hall. The entire meeting, including the meal will be less than 75 minutes so that your entire afternoon is not too busy. The meal will include sub sandwiches, chips, a couple of salad choices and ice cream cups. Please sign up to acknowledge that you will attend, either on the back of your connection card or on the sign-up sheet in the Foyer. Thank you for your dedication to the Lord and your faithful service for Him.
Sincerely, Pastor Frank
