Annual Corporate Fast – Wake Up, It’s Time!
January 23rd – February 12th 2012
It’s that time of year again! The Annual Corporate Fast will begin on January 23rd and last until February 12th, 2012. The theme of this year’s fast is “Wake Up, It’s Time” originating from Romans 13:11, “This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out! Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.”(NLT) This fast is a Wonderful 21 day journey that if followed, will ultimately bring you closer to the Lord and all who participate, closer as a Church Family. The spiritual checkup pre-fast devotion is ready and available on paper at the Worship Center and also can be received by email. If you’d like to receive the email copy, please contact Deaconess Letty Brown or visit the website to download the packet. There will be a sign up sheet for a 24 hour prayer vigil which ends the corporate fast. We are asking you to sign up for either, 30 minutes or 1 hour of prayer from 9am Saturday morning on the 11th until 9am Sunday morning, the 12th the last day of the fast. The sign-up sheet is available on the activities board today and will also be available on the website. The daily devotions and fast instruction packet will be distributed next Sunday.
Marriage Ministry
January 29, 2012 – 5:00 pm
This ministry is for couples but husbands and/or wives are welcome to attend without their spouses. This ministry will bless husbands and/or wives who want a good marriage, a better marriage or even an excellent marriage! This is a very rare opportunity to participate in a setting where concentrating on “I” is okay. The cost for the Love and Respect Workbooks is $25 per couple or $12.50 per workbook. Childcare will be provided. You may contact Deaconess Letty Brown or Sister Monisha Carter to pay for your workbooks
Helping Hands Ministry
Please take a minute and sign up for our helping hands ministry to donate your time to clean our fellowship for Sunday morning worship. The cleaning can be done anytime/day after bible study that week. The list is on the activities board to sign up.
Prayer / Sick and Shut In
13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
James 5: 13- 15
AMFB would like for you to Pray for our Sick and Shut In.

Men’s Basketball Ministry
Thursday Nights – 7:45 pm – League games in March 2012
Every Thursday night the men of AMFB meet together at the Boys and Girls club to fellowship through Basketball. This ministry will begin league games in March 2012. Any men over the age of 18 interested in participating must contact Brother David Grant. To compete in this league, a MANDATORY bible study is required. This ministry is a perfect opportunity to invite your friends & family, those who know Christ as well as though who don’t, to share experiences with the Men of AMFB and get into shape at the same time. Men if you’re free, thinking about getting into shape, or just love to play basketball join us Thursday nights. For more info contact Brother David Grant or email the church @ amfbgrace.org.
