2011—MAY 1 THE FAIRVIEWAN
My beloved members,
On the fourth Sunday of this month we celebrate our
Annual Friends Day. We initiated Friends Day as an
annual evangelistic event. Friends Day gives us the
potential for doubling or tripling our attendance in
Sunday School and Morning Worship.
Jesus said in Luke 14:23, “Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” With this
scripture in mind, I am challenging all of our members to invite your
friends to come and share with us in Sunday School and Morning
Worship on our Annual Friends Day observance. As a matter of fact,
if everyone brought one friend, our attendance would be doubled.
Friends Day is an attendance campaign with a difference. Its aim is
not just to give our church a record high attendance on one day, but it
includes a follow-up campaign designed to bring visitors back until
they make a decision. The purpose of the campaign is to help
churches carry out the Great Commission given in Matthew 28:19-20.
This purpose is achieved by involving members in reaching out to
their friends in an organized manner. The church as a team can then
lead the friends to Christ.
Some people who would never think of attending church by
themselves will respond positively if asked. This is where members
can play a major role in the evangelistic outreach of their church.
Friends Day can be a real blessing to our church. I pray that the Lord will bring precious souls into His kingdom through Friends Day this month!

The Fairviewan
Jesus came and told his disciples, ‘I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Matthew 28:18-20 (NLT)

AT 9:00 A.M.
DURING THE SUNDAY SCHOOL HOUR
FOR A TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS
As I Look Back...
As I look back on my life
I find myself wondering...
Did I remember to thank you
for all that you have done for me?
For all of the times you were by my side
to help me celebrate my successes
and accept my defeats?
Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
good judgement, courage, and honesty?
I wonder if I've ever thanked you
for the simple things...
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've
shared?
If I have forgotten to express my gratitude
For any of these things,
I am thanking you now...
and I am hoping that you've known all along,
how very much you are loved and appreciated.

2011—MAY 8 THE FAIRVIEWAN
On the second Sunday of April, 2011, the Church Family put forth its best effort to spotlight the youth of Fairview. The day began with High Attendance for the Sunday School, followed by a Continental Breakfast held in conjunction with the New Member Fellowship, 10:00 a.m. Morning Worship that featured the youth and a Youth Bash in the Burns Fellowship Hall after morning worship (see comments from youth on the next page). Youth led the Sunday School Groups and those that were not on duty during Morning Worship an usher or in the choir were given priority seating in the center section of the sanctuary with a special message from the Pastor. Included are photos and recaps from the Sunday School and some of the youth that participated in the day’s events.
YOU DID IT!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! We had a total of 128 at Sunday School on April 10!!!!!! The previous weeks we had 99, 96, and 99. This means YOU got the Word out and people came!!!! In the Youth Department, Pre-School to Seniors, we had three visitors. Age 6-7 1 Age 7-8 1 Age 9-10 1 In the Youth Department, Pre-School to Age 10, we had a record 28 students. The previous week 23. This is up from the sin-gle digits we had less than 6 months ago. The Intermediates and Senior Youth were teaching so many were not in their groups. Now I need to find out how many adult members were in your groups who had not attended Sunday School in 2011-2010. Please let me know so the winners can be determined and recognition given. The Pot Luck for the Youth held by Evalia Darling Senior facilitator, was also a suc-cess. The Youth were asked what they wanted and Evalia took charge! The membership was very supportive and brought tons and tons of food. We had lots of youth come out to fellow-ship and eat! Again, thank you, thank you, thank you! Lillian House Assistant Sunday School Director

FBC Youth Speak Out Concerning Youth Bash To me, personally, it was nice to see all the youth as one just come together and have fun with a good cause. - NATE LONG
I loved about church is that we have children’s
church. We have so much fun in there. -
CACHE’ (CLASS #6)
I think it was all right but could have been better.
- TAYLOR HARRIS
It was cool with the girls and the food, and most of
all the basketball. - ANONYMOUS
The potluck was intriguingly fascinating. I believe
that it was a good way for the youth to come
together and feel as if we were doing something
positive rather than just showing up to church. -
JOSHUA HAYES :)
The potluck was cool. But there could’ve been
more food. - BRI. W.
The best Sunday I had was last Sunday (April 10)!
The Bash was very fun. We then got wet with the
water hose. We even got to eat! I love it. …
TRACEY BURTON (CLASS #6)
I like coming to Sunday School cause it’s just like
school, just with God. - CHRIS HILL (CLASS #6)
Things I love about Children’s Church is there are
great teachers and a great staff. - SHANIYA

It was hot, fun, and awesome. We played
basketball, and we played in the water. We ate
doughnuts, pizza, and fruits. We drank soda, water
and juice. - KAYLAH PELTIER
It was fun, hot, and we got to play in the water. It
was awesome. - JAILAH REED
It was really fun and hot. We got to play
basketball or hang around. We ate good food and
had a good time. - DERRICK WALTER (CLASS #5)
I like the basketball. Some of us watched movies.
The food was nice. Kids played in the water.
Some raced. - BRENT
Youth Sunday was very fun. I really liked that we
got to play and have a lot of fun. I also got to meet
a lot of people that I didn’t know. - CHEYENNE
THOMPSON
I liked it, especially the sports outside; also the
food was good. - TYLER HURT (GROUP 2 - AGE 7)
Played basketball; having pizza; having a good
time. - CHRIS

2011—MAY 14 THE FAIRVIEWAN
KAREN LYNN HAYES SUNRISE: SEPTEMBER 15, 1963
SUNSET: APRIL 17, 2011
The life of our sister Karen Lynn Hayes
was celebrated on Friday, April 22, 2011
at her home-going services.
Karen joined Fairview Baptist Church at
an early age. In her commitment to
ministry, she served as Director of the JR
Inspirational Choir for 15 years. She
strongly exhibited her strength in her
conviction of love for anyone she met.
The youngest of three siblings, Karen’s
love and commitment for family ran
deep, always maintaining the close
family bond that her parents instilled in
her and her sisters. In the words of her
oldest sister, Dorsene Hayes-Jones;
―Karen, you had this special gift that
young people fell in love with. You were
a mother to the motherless, and sister to
those who had no sister. They called you
Auntie, Nana and Granny, but I called
you my baby sister.‖
Karen was a leader, she was always a
lady, and she is forever loved. She put
the ―D‖ in Diva. In her sister Ernice
Hayes Wilson’s words, ―You knew who
you were, who you belonged to and
where you would spend eternity. The joy
of the Lord was in your heart and a word
of praise on your lips.‖
Sister Mattie B. Williams
Mattie Bell Nicholson was born, the second
of three children, to Aubrey and Lydia Nicholson, in Watonga,
Oklahoma. Sister Mattie, spoken of s a very neat, feisty, and
outspoken lady who availed herself to others, offering a helping hand
to friends and neighbors.
Sister Nicholson married Mr. John Henry Parker and later married
Brother Willie B. Williams, one that lasted for 55 years until his death
in 1992. She loved to read the Bible and study the Word of God. She united
with Fairview Baptist Church on Easter Sunday, 1955, and remained a
faithful member until her death. She was active in the Women’s
Ministry, Bible Study, Senior Ministry, Sunday School, and the
Culinary Ministry, working in each as long as her health allowed.
The Fairview family extend our love, support and appreciation to the
family of Sister Williams for having shared her with us for these many
rich years.

Brother Charles “Bud” Anglin March 20, 1931 - March 26, 2011
Charles Anglin was born to Charlie Anglin of Elmore, Texas and Geneva Aldridge of Gilmore, Texas. He was the oldest of seven children. He lived a full life and was said to be a person that enjoyed loyal friends, and his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. Brother Anglin was a long-time
member of Fairview, his family being one of the oldest generational families of the church. Our love, support, and continual prayers go to the Anglin family. Remember that “earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.”
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying “Write
this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord
from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed
indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for
their good deeds follow them!” - Revelation 14:13
