WE WORSHIP TOGETHER
*Offertory Hymn
“Fill the Earth with Music”
While once speaking to a large audience, D.L. Moody held up a
glass and asked, "How can I get the air out of this glass?" One man
shouted, "Suck it out with a pump!" Moody replied, "That would
create a vacuum and shatter the glass." After numerous other suggestions Moody smiled, picked up a pitcher of water, and filled the
glass. "There," he said, "all the air is now removed." He explained
that victory in the Christian life is not accomplished by "sucking out
a sin here and there," but by being filled with the Holy Spirit. He
also stated that “I believe firmly that the moment our hearts are emptied of pride and selfishness and ambition and everything that is contrary to God’s law, the Holy Spirit will fill every corner of our
hearts. But if we are full of pride and conceit and ambition and the
world, there is no room for the Spirit of God. We must be emptied
before we can be filled.”
Today, we will be looking at “making every minute count” as Paul
encourages us to do in verse 16 of our passage from Ephesians 5. In
this short passage of six verses that we are focusing on today, I have
found six ways in which we can make the most of the opportunities
that are placed before us. One of those is being filled with the Holy
Spirit which makes the other five ways possible. My prayer is that I
will make the most of the time that God gives to me each day and
that you will do the same. I believe we can if we follow Paul’s advice found in this passage.

Captivate Youth Rally, Friday, August 21 (6:009:00 p.m.) and Saturday August 22 (5:00-8:00
p.m.) at First Baptist Church Creedmoor. Please
sign up by Thursday, August 20.
We will meet in the small parking lot at church at

you can meet us at FBC Creedmoor.
Dinner is from 6-7pm on Friday and 5-6pm on Saturday. Hot dogs on Friday and pizza on Saturday.
Between dinner and the worship rally there will be other activities
that will be going on in the gym! (cornhole, kanjam, foursquare).
The second half of the night will be spent in the sanctuary for a
Worship Rally! Sanctuary doors will open 15 minutes. prior to the
start of the worship rally. There will be informational slides on the
screen and music playing along with a beach ball bouncing!
Once the rally starts, there will be on-stage games for the braver
students, giveaways, music, and most importantly, teaching from
God’s Word by the Rev. Jordan Gandy. Jordan is a DMIN student at
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and is the Associate Pastor
at Garden City Baptist in South Carolina.
Students will be challenged to examine whether or not they have a
relationship with Christ as well as whether or not they’re taking it seriously. Paul talks about being a slave to righteousness in Romans 6,
and students will be challenged to be “captivated” by Christ!
Toiletry donation will be collected to be given to their missions
building to be distributed to the underprivileged in our community.
Bring things like toilet paper, deodorant, toothpaste/toothbrushes, etc.
to donate!
CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST
Wednesday, August 26 the WOM will host our
Annual Christmas in August. We will have a traditional Christmas dinner of ham, stuffing, gravy, sweet
potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, drinks,
and dessert.
On this night we ask that you bring one or more unwrapped Christmas gifts which will be donated to the
CCM Christmas Toy Ministry. These toys will be distributed to needy families in December just in time for Christmas. Remember those less fortunate during this special time.
RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE
We will host a Red Cross Blood Drive on Friday, September 11 in our Family Life Center. If you are interested in donating please contact Mary Duke at 919482-1280 or at mary.duke1031@gmail.com
YOUTH HYMNSING
We will have a HymnSing on
Sunday, August 30 at 5:00 p.m.
in the Youth House
Ross Smith and his guitar will
take you through the make-up of
hymns and the message behind
them. Most traditional hymns tell
the Gospel story from the fall to
redemption and reconciliation. Modern contemporary Christian songs don’t usually do that,
e.g. focus just on praise. Emphasize
will be on the importance of hymns
in communicating the Gospel.
