"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
Galatians 5:22-23

For the past few weeks, we have focused on the 5 practices of fruitful churches:
1. Radical Hospitality
2. Passionate Worship
3. Intentional Faith Development
4. Risk-taking Mission and Service
5. Extravagant Generosity

As we seek to be faithful to the fruit-bearing work to which we are called, may we not overlook the essential gift of rest. God commands Sabbath observance, even modeling this in the rhythm of Creation.

This holiday weekend, may we take time to rest, to be renewed, replenished, refilled, and restored with God's abundant grace.

Join us for worship on Sunday at 10:45 am in the sanctuary or on Facebook live (The video will begin streaming at about 10:40 am.) The worship guide and other resources are located on our website, (fbcpendleton.org).

At First Baptist Church of Pendleton, we aspire to keep Jesus at the center of our lives. We are Rooted in Faith, and Growing in Love. We endeavor to be a welcoming and affirming community of grace for all people, loving our neighbors because God first loved us.

Let’s get a FBCP group together for the upcoming Day of Service! Sign up online to help keep Pendleton looking spiffy!

Our next day of service is September 26. For the regulars who are so helpful with litter pick up and clean up before the fall festival - we will have the traditional morning only litter gathering.

We have other activities related to the trails and walking paths and other "things that need attention" around town that will take longer but we will still have a lunch break.

We are having our volunteer appreciation lunch so please join us for that and a small gift of appreciation.
We have bird house building for kids.

Please sign up so we can plan on your participation.

An important reminder shared by Pastor Jennifer this past Sunday! We can say what we believe, but it’s even more powerful to put it into practice with tangible action. 🤍

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
Galatians 5:22-23

Fruitful churches give generously, because giving is part of how we live out our faith. Jesus teaches in Luke 12:13-21 that life is not about accumulating more and more possessions. In Deuteronomy 26:1-11, God instructs the people to bring the first of their resources as an act of worship. What might God be calling you to give as an act of worship and expression of faith?

Join us for worship on Sunday at 10:45 am in the sanctuary or on Facebook live (The video will begin streaming at about 10:40 am.) The worship guide and other resources are located on our website, (fbcpendleton.org).

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
Galatians 5:22-23

As followers of Jesus, we are called to bear fruit - good fruit that is greatly needed by our neighbors and the world. Bearing fruit requires work and commitment, as well as intentionality and risk-taking.

Jesus told a story about a farmer who sowed seed; some of it produced a harvest, and some did not. Sometimes (but not always) our efforts yield results; we are called to keep planting seeds, trusting the results to God.

Robert Schnase identifies 5 practices of fruitful congregations. This Sunday, we will take a closer look at two of these practices: Intentional Faith Development and Risk-Taking Mission and Service. (Last week we considered Radical Hospitality and Passionate Worship, and next week we will focus on Extravagant Generosity.)
