January 8th FBBF Meeting - St. Petersburg
We are looking forward to hosting the FBBF meeting Monday January 8th here at Park Street. One of the things we have been addressing here at our church is in the area of security. I have asked Jim Howard with Trinity Security Allies (A Church security ministry) to speak for us and we will have a Q&A with him.
I have also asked Ron Sears to speak. I have asked him to speak on the topic of "Christian Universalism." This is very much a growing doctrine. He has written a book on the topic as he has dealt with this first hand while he was an executive pastor.
We will have a good lunch and I promise if you come you will be glad you did or your money back.

What's The Plan?
By Russell Johnson
I think it would be safe to assume that most of us are working on some kind of plan as we look ahead to 2018. Whether it is regarding our health, our finances, our preaching schedule or our outreach/missions plan for the coming year, I hope we all realize that it takes more than goals to achieve success, it takes a plan to turn those goals into realities.
What is your PLAN for encouraging fellow pastors and promoting Church planting in 2018?
We can attend conferences for personal growth and edification, but we seldom get to personally encourage others at those gatherings. What about YOU encouraging OTHERS in the ministry?
I would like to encourage you to PLAN NOW to be at the 8 gatherings we will be having at the Florida BBF during this coming year. Circle your calendars NOW (or ask Siri/Alexa to set up reminders for you) for the SECOND MONDAY for the months of January, February, March, April, June, August, October & November.
The location for the January and February meetings are set, all the rest are open at this point. If you are within 100 miles of the intersection of the Turnpike and I-4, please look at your calendar and contact either Joel Johns or Russell Johnson to host one of our meetings this year.
Plan NOW to be a Blessing to OTHER PASTORS in 2018!
The More Things Change...
By Joel Johns
Every new year we go through the same changes, but somehow those changes are the same changes as last time. This new year we will see many changes, but in the scope of eternity and our calling, those changes are superficial. This year it is our hope to change and improve the way we communicate and interact. It is our goal to move from a monthly meeting to daily interactions with one another. Tim Forgette and I have built a FBBF Facebook Group that we ask everyone to join. Please use this page to get to know other pastors in the state, to seek advice or give advice, and to pray and encourage one another. Please take a moment to visit the group page at FBBF Pastors Group. We would love to have you along for the ride.
