On Nov. 2, we celebrated All Saints Sunday in our morning worship service by giving thanks to God for the members of Farmville Baptist Church who have since gone on to be with their Lord. But we also recognized and gave thanks for those still in our midst who have greatly contributed to the life of Farmville Baptist. We formally recognized Cecil Yeatts as a new Life Deacon, and we presented five members of the church with our "Good and Faithful Servant" recognition: Jack Austin, Paul Cave, Howard Ferguson, Alma Lewis and Ruth Patteson. These five individuals have given a combined 300 plus years of service to Farmville Baptist and to Christ's Kingdom! We thank God for them! After the service, the congregation gathered for a covered dish fellowship in honor of these individuals.

On Sunday, September 14, we had our Adopt-a-Student Cookout at the home of Kerby and Janet Moore. We had a great turnout, and around 24 students were "adopted" by church members! The crowd enjoyed great conversation and plenty of food! It was a wonderful way to welcome our students back to Farmville Baptist. Once again, many thanks to Kerby, Janet and Jewel Moore for inviting us to their home!

On Saturday, September 6, we held our community-wide “One in Christ” Celebration Concert at 6 p.m. at Heritage Baptist Church. The sun was out amidst a clear blue sky that evening, which was a big relief, since the previous night and all morning, tropical storm Hannah dumped around four inches of rain in Farmville! Choirs and Praise Teams from five different churches–Heritage Baptist, Apostolic Faith Church of All Nations, First Baptist, Farmville Baptist and Zion Hill Baptist–performed songs to the delight of almost two hundred folks who were in attendance. After the concert, everyone enjoyed a free barbecue picnic supper.

On Aug. 24, we had our annual church picnic at Brookleigh Country Club. We had 98 people attend, including guests from The Woodland, Southside Home for men, and Zion Hill Baptist Church. We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon swimming in the pool, playing golf, and catching up with each other. At 5:30 p.m., we enjoyed a bounty of food contributed by members of the congregation. Once again, many thanks to Ruth Patteson and the social committee, Chuck Daniel and Patti Trent for putting the picnic all together.
