November 2014 FBC Mission FBC of Taylor is a community of Christ followers empowered by the Holy Spirit to glorify God and to impact our world. FBC Vision We will become a diverse body who takes ownership in engaging its membership in vital ministries. We Welcome John & Esther Griffing to FBC Taylor! On October 12th we as a congregation were privileged to welcome John and Esther into our congregation as our worship pastor. They are not just joining as a staff, but they are connecting their lives here to the body of Christ for the purpose of making Him known to those in Taylor and the surrounding areas. They are blessed with two adult sons John and Jake. Their children reflect the rich faith of their parents. John has a wide variety of musical talents and a broad musical genre but remains steady with a core desire: he wants to see the body of Christ connect to the Father in a worship experience. John first led our Easter service and has been leading on a regular basis since September. I have been challenged and encouraged in getting to know him and hear his heart and glean from his wisdom. I know you will as well. I hope you have a great November! Thankfully, Bro.

Personal and Professional Growth - Reading helps me grow as a person, expanding my views about life, affecting my every personal and professional decisions. 2.) Leadership Booster - I believe that great leaders are great readers. 3.) Busts Boredom – It sets me free from boredom. 4.) Enhances Communication Skills – Widens my expertise as a wordsmith, which I use in writing business correspondence in the office and church, online blogging and in writing encouraging notes to family and friends. 5.) Tool for Success – One of my lifetime goals is to be able to write my own best-selling book/s someday. 6.) Learning from the Best – Through reading, I get to mingle and pick the brains of people whom I may never meet in person like my favorite authors namely: Charles Swindoll, John Maxwell, Max Lucado, Philip Yancey, John Eldredge and locally: Ed Lapiz, Bo Sanchez etc. 7.) Virtual Travelling – Reading allows me to travel to places I have never been to and makes me experience, at least in virtually, situations that I may either desire or loathe—where in both cases, I can gain invaluable learnings. 8.) Counseling Aid – Through this helpful and healthy habit, I’m empowered to give better advice to people, especially when I don’t have personal experience about what they’re seeking counsel for. 9.) Brain Enhancer – Our mind is the central processing unit of our body, the genesis of all our hopes and dreams which we should invest on. Unlike rubber, our brain, once stretched, may never be reduced to its original size. 10.) Keeps Me Fully Awake and Alive – Being a bibliophile is the only positive addiction I know so far which keeps my faith, hope and love alive. If the late Winston Churchill said, “Never, never, never quit!” I say, “Never, never, never stop learning.” Camp Tejas in Giddings, TX $75 deposit due November 30th Total Cost: $215 (includes 3-4 women per room for 2 nights, all on bottom bunks, linens and towels included and 5 meals; please see Jennifer Burnum for pricing on 1-2 per room) This is a wonderful weekend to relax, visit with friends, make new friends and be encouraged in who you are and who you can be in the Lord.
