Amazed
One of the most poignant and honest statements in scripture is found in Mark 9:24, "I
believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" These honest words of faith are proclaimed by a
desperate father who is pleading with Jesus for his son’s healing. He says to Jesus, "If you
can do anything, please take pity on us and help us." To which Jesus responds, "If you can?
Everything is possible for the one who believes." It is then that the boy’s father exclaims, "I
do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"
Most of us at one time or another have professed our belief in God and our belief in Jesus
as the Son of God. Few of us, however, have shared our moments of unbelief or moments
when we wanted desperately to believe what seems unbelievable. I suspect that few of us
have ever felt the freedom to utter the word unbelief in church out of fear that our faith
would be seen as weak, troubled, or misguided. In fact, many of us can recall a time when
any attempt at questioning faith was looked upon with suspicion and pity rather than being
seen as a healthy part of the faith journey.
So the two questions I pose to each of you are, What do you believe? and What do you
struggle to believe?
Over the next few months we will embark on a journey in the Gospel of Mark where we
will consider the amazing ministry of Jesus and the amazing journey of becoming a believer.
During this amazing journey, we will celebrate what we believe, in whom we believe, why
we believe, what we struggle to believe, and what it means to be a community of believers.
We are told again and again in Mark's Gospel that when Jesus taught or healed the people
were amazed; thus the title of this series is AMAZED. So come be AMAZED as we allow
Jesus to show us that everything is possible for the one who believes.
This Sunday's Message:
AMAZED: Becoming a Generation of Believers
Mark 9:14-19

FBC ON MISSION
The REPORT CARD is in from our church-wide Summer School Project: Congratulations – you’ve all passed!
Assignment 1: Paper Products for Connie Maxwell Children’s Home…we collected just enough plates, napkins, toilet paper, and other essential items to fill up an entire car (barely a square inch to spare!). Virgil and Judy Quisenberry delivered these to the main children’s home, located Greenwood, SC. To learn more, visit www.conniemaxwell.com.
Recap of our summer assignments:
Assignment 2: Kid-Friendly Food Products…at the end of this assignment, our large collection bin was overflowing with food items that will help nourish some of the 1,000 homeless/housing-insecure children currently identified in Pickens County. They will be delivered through case workers who will work to ensure children can receive them with care and dignity.
Assignment 3: Backpacks & School Supplies…On FBC
Promotion Sunday (Aug 18), with many of our children
wearing their own backpacks, we lined the 55+ donated
backpacks filled with new supplies and offered a prayer of
blessing for them, and more importantly, for the children
upon whose shoulders they will soon rest. Along with the
food products, these backpacks will find precious children in
Pickens County.

U18 Fall Mission Focus Operation Christmas Child
What an amazing response we had to our Summer School Mission Project that supported children in and around local communities! But, our call to serve others is ongoing, and we now look to our U18 Fall Mission Focus to support children all around the world through Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child. All children, preteen, youth, and families are encouraged to begin collecting and donating items for this wonderful mission opportunity. In early November, we will have a packing party to pack all of the collected items into shoeboxes, and send them off to be delivered to children across the world.
Here’s a list of what to bring for the month of September:
Anytime: Shoeboxes (empty shoe box--standard size, in durable condition, or a small plastic container.)
September 1st-14th: School Supplies (pens, pencils and sharpeners, crayons or markers,
stamps and ink pad sets, writing pads or paper, solar calculators, coloring and picture books, etc.)
September 15th-28th: Hygiene Items (toothbrush, tooth paste, mild soap bar, comb, washcloth, etc.)
(Please do not send damaged or used items; war-related items such as toy guns,
knives or military figures; chocolate or food; out-of-date candy; liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins;
breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans)
Please bring all items to the church office. 12
Helpful Tip:
Take a moment to sit down
with your family, and discuss
how many children you would
like and are able to sponsor.
Will you sponsor a boy or a
girl, or both? This will be
helpful in making out your
shopping list, and knowing
what and how much to buy.

We begin our year learning about missionaries that are willing to take risks to serve God. Mamie Oliver ministers to a community in Boise, Idaho. Nine year old Ellie Smith started “The Happy Wagon Company” to buy wagons for a local children’s hospital. Linda Cross works at the Baptist University of the Americas to help pastors get the help they need for churches in Latin America. Lastly, Chip Rotolo helps with a swimming program in Helena, Arkansas and with African refugees in Uganda. Our Mission Friends will study how all of these people answered God’s call to help others even when it was difficult. We will also share ways we can help others.

meal. Hymns: Everyone is invited to meet in the Family Life Center at
5:00pm for a good old fashion Hymn Sing with an added twist of new songs

Music Ministry Gearing Up for the Fall
Leadership is being enlisted and plans are being made for our Fall Music Ministry at FBC Clemson.

All adults are invited to be a part of the Chancel Choir which leads in worship each Sunday morning. Rehearsals are at 7:00pm on Wednesdays. There are no auditions are attendance requirements, just a love for singing. For youth and adults interested in playing handbells, look for information soon.

Let there be light!
Many tourists have visited the cathedrals designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the 1600s. The stately steeples are a visible trademark of his creations. But have you ever noticed that these great structures lack the magnificent stained glass windows contained in other cathedrals? Wren felt that “God’s greatest gift to man is light.” Thus, while being surrounded by the physical glow of God’s love, people could worship the Son as the Light of the World, celebrating these wondrous Gifts. While there are many references involving light in the Bible – the Word as a light to our paths, provided by bridesmaids for a wedding feast, on a hill instead of under a basket, et al. – today we are barely aware of turning light switches on when we enter a room. Even that small act can involve stewardship of our earth’s resources. Now we have many choices as to which sort of light bulb to use for which purpose, and our choices can involve both stewardship of resources and of money. Traditional incandescent bulbs produce true light and cost the least. They can also be more appealing to the eye, as with flickering candle-like ones in chandeliers. Unfortunately, they also create more heat and do not last very long. The oddly-shaped compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL) last up to 10 times longer and produce less heat than incandescent bulbs. However, they do cost more initially. The major drawback of these bulbs is that they contain a toxic powder, and as such would technically require professional cleanup if one breaks in your house. This powder contains mercury, so the bulbs must be disposed of properly, not merely tossed into the trash. These bulbs cannot be used in cold-weather regions. The most recent entry into the field is the light-emitting diode (LED) light. While the initial designs only sent the light in one direction, up or down depending on placement, the newer models use multiple small diodes to better disperse the light. The newest CREE type has extremely bright light, and designs are improving. These bulbs can last 15 years, but they do cost more initially. They do not create much heat, nor do they require special methods of disposal. Even with the long life, LED bulbs still tend to lose brightness over time, due to voltage fluctuations. So, it is up to us to choose wisely. Each illumination situation has specific needs – and we Christians have been blessed with God’s light IN the world and His Light OF the World.
