BREAD OF LIFE

O send Thy Spirit, Lord, now unto me. That he may touch mine eyes, and make me see. Show me the truth concealed within Thy Word.

And in Thy book revealed I see Thee, Lord.

Postlude

Mrs. Lana Cornutt

Pilgrim Song

My brethren, I have found a land that doth abound With fruit as sweet as honey;

The more I eat I find, the more I am inclined To shout and sing Hosanna.

My soul doth long to go where I may fully know, The glory of my Savior;

And as I pass along, I'll sing the Christian song, I'm going to live forever.

Perhaps you think me wild, or simple as a child; I am a child of glory;

I am born from above, my soul is filled with love; I love to tell the story.

My soul now sits and sings and practices it's wings, And contemplates the hour

When the messenger shall say come quit this house of clay, And with bright angels tower.

And as I pass along I'll sing the Christian song, I'm going to live forever, Forever.

ESV Scripture Journal: Psalms

Pastor Mat will begin a new sermon series on the book of Psalms on February 17, and we have a new resource available to you for Sunday's sermons or your own personal study. This Scripture Journal pairs the text of the book of the Bible with lightly

lined blank pages opposite each page of text.

This will allow you to take extended notes beside the passages. We will have these available in the church office for you to purchase for $10.

Thank you to everyone for your contributions to the Annual Valentines Lunch and Auction.

The total raised to support FBC Mission Projects:

$8,300.00

A VERY special thank you to the hospitality committee and cooks for the wonderful meal and beautiful decorations!
