A NOTE FROM PASTOR RONNY…

I'm excited about ministry at FBC Clarksville this month. We have many opportunities for you to worship God, love people, share Jesus, and make disciples. 

Here are five important events happening in February: 

1. Cole McCartney begins his ministry as our Next Generation Pastor on February 1. As we searched for the right servant for this position, I had three pastors recommend Cole. Cole is a young man with a heart for Jesus, a love for the local church, and a call to student ministry. He's a recent graduate of Ouachita Baptist University and a current student at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Cole has served in various student ministry roles. I encourage you to pray for Cole as he makes the transition to serving at FBC and living in Clarksville. 

2. DNOW Weekend is February 16-18 for our students. We're hosting the student event again this year. We'll have hundreds of students and their leaders on our campus. Zealhouse Worship is leading the music, and Dr. Jay Strack, Founder and President of Student Leadership University, is preaching God's Word. We'll have both of them leading in worship on Sunday, February 18. I encourage you to pray for our students and the many leaders involved in DNOW Weekend. 

3. Deacons begin serving on new deacon teams. I love our deacons. These men are ministry partners. We've launched a new approach to the deacon ministry at FBC. Our active deacons are serving on deacon teams. The goal is to serve Jesus and the church membership. We have five teams: Hospitals, Widows and Widowers, Homebound and Nursing Facilities, New Members and Ordinances, and Special Projects. We'll hear reports from each team during our monthly deacons' meetings. I encourage you to pray for our deacons as they serve the Lord and His church. 

4. I have two speaking assignments for which I need your prayers. I have a love for pastors and leaders. On Monday, February 12, I've been invited to speak at FBC Covington, Tennessee, to a group of pastors about mental health. If churches are going to be healthy, then we need healthy pastors. On Monday night, February 12, I've been asked to speak at the BCM at Austin Peay to a group of student leaders. What a joy to invest in the next generation of leaders! I encourage you to pray that I make much of Jesus during each of these assignments. 

5. Your church gathers every Sunday and Wednesday for Bible study and worship. Consistency in Bible study and worship is imperative for your spiritual growth and maturity. I challenge you to be faithful on Sundays and Wednesdays. Your weekly involvement is a witness to other people. What a blessing to gather with God's people to pray, sing, give, preach, listen, fellowship, serve, and obey. Your church needs your faithfulness. I encourage you to be present on Sundays and Wednesdays at FBC.   

Both Ad Hoc groups related to the Faith Building Project continue to serve well. As you pray, please ask the Lord to give them His favor and wisdom. 

Angie and I hope you have a blessed February.

We love you! 

Blessings, 
Pastor Ronny

 BAPTISTRY TOUR

On Sunday morning, January 28th, at 9:30 am, the joyful laughter and curious chatter of our PreK and Kinder kids filled the church as they embarked on a special journey led by Pastor Ronny. The destination? Our very own baptistery!

This exclusive tour was not just a fun adventure; it was a vibrant learning experience. As the children gathered around the baptistry and were allowed to put their hands into the water, their wide-eyed wonder was a sight to behold. Pastor Ronny, with his innate knack for connecting with young minds, turned this into an ideal setting to answer the earnest "why" questions that only preschoolers can ask. He masterfully brought the story of Jesus' baptism to life, translating complex theological concepts into simple terms that resonated with our youngest hearts.

Perhaps the most profound lesson of the day was understanding that baptism is a symbol and outward expression of personal faith in Jesus, and not a means of achieving salvation or a relationship with Him. The children listened intently, some nodding thoughtfully, as Pastor Ronny explained this significant distinction with clarity and warmth.

One teacher/parent, reflecting on the event, shared, "Seeing my child's face light up when he got to see a rock from the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized was so special. The Bible came alive and it was his favorite part. It warms my heart to know that He now understands what he will do once he accepts Jesus into his heart."

The event was not only educational but also a beautiful testament to the sense of community and spiritual guidance our church fosters. Pastor Ronny's dedication to teaching and nurturing our children’s understanding of God's desired relationship with each of us is truly praiseworthy.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Pastor Ronny for helping us learn that we are all called to worship God, love people, share Jesus and make disciples. As we continue to guide our youngest members in their spiritual journey, let us remember the innocence and purity of their faith – a reminder of the profound simplicity that Jeus says should be at the heart of our own relationship with God.

Jesus Loves you “SNOW” Much!

On Sunday, Jan. 14th, our preschoolers learned that Jesus went to church, He learned about God, and He even taught others about God, too! Through crafts, games and even a few snowballs, it was a FUN Sunday to learn that Jesus loves you SNOW very much!

A big, "Snow Thank you" to our Connect Group leaders who follow Jesus example and faithfully read the Bible to our preschoolers Sunday, teaching them about God. We love You!

Wednesday Night D-CONNECT GROUPS (6:00pm):

• Hispanic Bible Study | Room 2123 | Led by Nestor Martinez

• Ashamed: Fight Shame with the Word of God, Room FH 2230, Led by Mikka Doyle, Ladies Class. A 6 week Bible study. Books can be purchased through LifeWay or Amazon.
  When Isaiah stepped into the throne room of God, he was “undone” by his sinfulness in view of God’s holiness. When an angel touched his mouth with a coal and told him his sin was forgiven, Isaiah essentially said, “Here I am. Send me. I don’t care where. I’m yours! I’ll do whatever!” He moved from being undone by shame to a hopeful humility and an eagerness to serve the Lord.
  In this 6-session study from Scarlet Hiltibidal, discover the deep, freeing truth that being undone is the right place to start. Move beyond your shame to the joy-inducing, peace-producing thrill that comes from a relationship with Jesus. We were made to live in the light—confessing, repenting, and renouncing our shame—because Jesus experienced shame in our place.

• Pastor’s Study, Grace Worship Center, Led by Dr. Ronny Raines
  Pastor Ronny is going through an overview of the Bible where a different book of the Bible is taught each Wednesday night.

• Ladies Class, Acts, Holy Spirit and the Beginning of the Church, Led by Debbie Farrell, Room 2120
  Acts, the book of firsts, Acts is the book of the church’s beginnings with the Holy Spirit coming in power. It is a book of firsts: the first preaching of the gospel but the apostles by the Holy Spirit, the first churches, the first missionaries, the first time believers were called Christians, the first Gentiles accepted into the body of believers, the first church counsel, the first christian martyr, and more.

February 2024: February 21

• Character Still Counts by Dr. James Meritt, Room 2234, Led by Mike Madewell

• Woman of the Word, Room 2232, Led by Kayla Johnson

MILITARY EVENTS

Christmas Packages for Deployed Soldiers in Lebanon

Dear FBCT family, 

Thank you for your generous giving that makes our ministry efforts among our military community possible! In October, a Fort Campbell Military Police Chaplain contacted us about supporting a company effort to send Christmas packages to deployed soldiers in Lebanon. The Company Commander was very grateful that we joyfully agreed to cover the mailing costs for them. The unit's Soldier and Family Readiness Group and command team packed a box for each soldier, and with FBCT support, all boxes arrived before Christmas! 

Again, thank you FBCT family! Your love for our military community is known and greatly appreciated! 

Dr. Richard E. Davis

Another book review from a library staff member:

LOVE STORY by Karen Kingsbury

     This book introduces you to John and Elizabeth and tells how they become the patriarch and matriarch of the Baxter family.  You learn this through a Heritage project their grandson writes.  It takes John back to when he first met and fell in love with Elizabeth.  They meet at a college mixer; Elizabeth becomes pregnant and has a baby out of wedlock.  Their baby boy is given up for adoption, and then they marry.  As their relationship and marriage grow, they find faith in God, God’s grace, forgiveness, and redemption.  This couple comes to exemplify belief in God, the bond of family, and the generational impact of love.

    We have most of Kingsbury’s books available in the church library. SOMEONE LIKE YOU is the title of a book and movie Karen Kingsbury has written and produced.  It is a Christian movie, mystery and romance, based on one of her books.  The movie will appear in theaters April 2.
