As we go to press with the April
newsletter. The beauty and joy of our recent celebration of Fremont Baptist
Church’s 133-year anniversary, still warms my heart and brightens my soul. To
think our small, yet vibrant and faithful congregation, has been serving God,
Christ and humanity for over 130 years. Our history and Missional commitment to
God simply touches and even warms my heart, life and very spirit.
Now, as we begin the month of April
2025, we find ourselves only three weeks away from Easter Sunday, and our Lord’s
triumphant victory over death and the grave! As we now move ever closer to Palm
Sunday, holy week, and then the pain, stress and even “horror” of our Lord’s
betrayal, arrest and death on the cross. May we “all” stay faithful and
committed to carrying on our active and “mission focused” ministry here at
Fremont Baptist Church.
Please seek to remember, we will be collecting
toys, candy, trinkets and gifts, for the Moms and kiddos at the Union Gospel
Mission, Women and Family Shelter. Along with giving some of these gifts and
treats to Mary’s Place in South Lake Union. Please check in with Ralph and Sarah
W., about items needed for our missional giving to these needy folks.
Brothers
and Sisters, as we move ever closer to Palm Sunday Holy week, and Easter
morning, please seek to remember as Christians we are “called” and commissioned
to put our “active faith” into action. Literally, for over 130 years the good
and noble believers here at Fremont Baptist Church, continue to feed the
hungry, clothe the poor, and help the homeless. We even provide a safe building
and classrooms for preschool kids and a small kindergarten class.
God
Bless and keep you good and faithful disciples of Christ. This Easter Sunday,
our primary gospel reading will be the classic Easter narrative, written by St.
John the Evangelist Ch 20:1-18. Please feel free to
read it on your own.
Peace be with you all,
Amen, Amen, Amen. Pastor
Jeff Barker
