“Men’s Day 2014 Celebration”

From Our Pastor . . .

Greetings my Brothers and Sisters, Today, we celebrate our Annual Men’s Day. We are blessed to have faithful and dedicated men within our congregation who give tirelessly of their service and are faithful to the Lord’s work. Today, we thank God for his faithfulness and we encourage our men who are “Doing the

Will of God from the Heart”. We pray that all will be poised to serve our Lord in an exciting and enriching way.

As we assess our churches, we are reminded that many congregations lack the strength of men. We want to make NFBCT a model for what men can do with the Lord’s help by reaching men in our families and communities. If we have men in our congregation who have not stepped up to the plate, let this be a time for discernment. Ask, “Lord, what would you have me to do?” I make this challenge to every man and women of NFBCT to invite one man to church over the course of the next coming weeks. Each one, reach one. You may ask many to attend but make an effort to bring one to church. We further encourage Men of NFBCT to join in prayer, study, meeting and fellowship each Second Saturday of the Month at 9AM. This provides great opportunity to share in doing the work of the Lord for the church and community.

Thank you to the leadership of our Men’s Day Chairperson and Vice Chairperson and those who have helped to encourage them as they have led this effort. Both have put their hand to the plow, pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling in Jesus Christ.

We are excited to enjoy the preaching company of Pastor Antonio Bishop, Sr. and Rev. Dr. Frank Guns, Sr. We look forward to a powerful word from the Lord. Pray for these men today as they preach. Pray that more men will be inspired to do more for the Lord in the church and surrounding community and give their lives to the Lord. Be blessed,

Pastor William J. Smith, Jr.

In May 2001, Anointed Word Ministries held its first worship service.
