"I was (am) glad......"
By Devin Pickard
It has been said that if you enjoy what you do for a living that you will never work a day in your life. What a blessing it is to anticipate seeing the sun rise and look forward to another day of labor! I can’t but help to believe that the same illustration could apply to church worship and attendance. I must say that I have never in my life looked forward to Sundays and Wednesdays more than I do right now. For many, the first and middle days of the week are days of dread and agony....days of convenient sickness and difficulty.....days of exhaustion and power failure (alarm clock didn’t go off). Hopefully, that cannot be said for those who call Fairfield home. The Lord just continues to shower abundant blessings on this congregation of His people week after week. I understand now even more what David meant when he said in Psalm 122, “I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord”. I too, am glad when the opportunity for fellowship with my God and my brothers and sisters in Christ comes around......and I think most of you feel the same way. As they say, the proof is in the pudding.
The Fairfield Church of Christ has experienced a tremendous amount of growth over the last several months. Average attendance and contribution have been on the increase....Sunday school and mid-week Bible study attendance are at an all-time high.....parking lot space is dwindling and pew space is non-existent. WHAT GREAT PROBLEMS TO HAVE! I want to pat on the back all of you who are working so hard at inviting and encouraging those around you to come and be a part of the ever expanding work here. I want to thank you for being such a positive influence in the lives of those who are hurting and struggling with the difficulties of every day living. I want to thank you for sharing with those you come in contact with your testimony of how Jesus Christ has been a blessing in your life. I want to thank you for being the “good Samaritan” in the lives of those who have fallen under the weight of life’s burdens. If we are not there to pick up those precious souls, then who will? If we are not there to share some time with them and become involved in their lives, then who will? If we are not there to show them that someone cares and that they are a very valuable and significant part of this world, then who will? I think you know all the answers.
I want to take a moment to thank all of those who stepped up to help with our “cookie ministry” while Ms. Jean was sidelined with her injury.....Brenda Burchard, Diane Coates, Joyce Cayce, Sonja Plunkett, Dorothy Weatherspoon, Margaret Martin, Korie Cochran, and perhaps others. I am continually amazed at the willingness of the members of this church who jump in whenever there is a void that needs to be filled. Thankfully, Ms. Jean has been on the mend and is now back in the “cookie rotation”. I also want to thank Sheila Brady and Glenda Newsome for their tireless efforts in the construction of our “new member welcome baskets.” Due to the influx of so many new Fairfield family members, these ladies have been working overtime creating these wonderful gifts for our new fellow workers. Thank you ladies for all you do! By the way, be making plans now to saddle up (not that kind Woody) on June 1 for our second annual “Biker Sunday”. 416 people attended this outreach effort last year and we anticipate even more this go around. Hopefully, it won’t be near as hot during this year’s ride. Of course, the whole reason for this event is to keep it from being hot on all of us on the other side of eternity.
Go the extra mile - Devin
