Good Friday
We would love to have you join us for our Good Friday service tomorrow (Friday, April 7th) at 6:30 PM. Also, we will have 2 services on Easter Sunday (April 9th): Sunrise Service at 8 AM Resurrection Service at 10:30 AM Breakfast will be available in The Commons following the sunrise service.
Bible Talk
It’s been a couple months since we enjoyed a “Bible Talk with the Elders” session. This Wednesday, March 29th, we will resume those sessions. We have some great questions from our teens that we will be addressing, as well as a couple others from the congregation. Is there a question on your mind that you’d like us to talk through? We don’t have all the answers, but we try to bring the Bible to bear on every question submitted. You…
Easter Flowers
Just a quick reminder that if you want to order Easter flowers to help decorate the sanctuary for Resurrection Sunday, the orders are due this coming Lord’s Day (the 19th). Make checks payable to Wise Greenhouse. After the services on Easter, the flowers are yours’ to keep, so you can provide a bit of beauty for the Lord’s house, and for your own house as well!
Two Big Announcements!
It’s Bowling Day! – The FBC Annual Bowling party is today, Saturday, from 2-4 PM at Kent Lanes (located at 1524 S Water St, Kent, OH 44240). AND… It’s Time Change Day! – Remember to set those clocks ahead tonight before retiring, so you don’t miss church tomorrow!
Soup’s On!
This coming Lord’s Day is one of our favorite days of the year – RED HEART SUNDAY. It’s just a silly thing we do to liven up the dreary winter of February. Everybody wears something red, we enjoy some nice special music, and we have some fellowship afterwards. This year, we’ll have the American Heritage Girls and Trail Life Boys troops with us, and after the service we will enjoy a soup and salad luncheon. We could use a bit…
Missing Church?
I read an interesting quote by Donald Whitney. He wrote, “If you can miss church and not miss church, then something is absent from your heart and faith.” Ponder on that for a while. It’s actually quite profound, and interesting. And then I hope you’ll join us for worship on Sunday! Sunday School starts at 9:30 and Worship begins at 10:30. If you’ve been missing church, make this the Sunday you get back in the groove.
What a Wonderful Way to Start!
So said our elder, Don Richards, when replying to a question about whether we would have full services on New Year’s Day. Of course the answer is “YES” – all systems are go to start the year out in the Lord’s house. Sunday School will meet as normal at 9:30, as will our normal worship service, starting at 10:30. Don’s entire comment was, “What a wonderful way to start a new year. In the Lord’s house with my brothers and…
A Quiet Week
On this week between the holidays, we’ll be taking a break from a couple of things. Men’s Bible Study for this Tuesday is cancelled, as is the Wednesday Prayer Meeting. Enjoy the week of recovery from Christmas and anticipation of the New Year!
It’s Christmas Time!
Christmas Eve services – 6:30 PM. Music, communion, candle light. Christmas Day services – 10:30 AM, simple carols and the story of Christmas. This service will be no longer than an hour, so give the Savior that hour and celebrate His birth in His house! (NOTE that there is no Sunday School this week.) For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11 KJV)
CHRISTMAS KINDNESS
Every year we distribute baskets of food and love to some folks who might need a bit of encouragement at Christmas time. Sometimes that’s due to financial need. Sometimes it’s due to pain and loss. Sometimes it’s due to trials they’re undergoing. We will be packing and distributing the boxes tomorrow morning (Saturday, 12/17) at 9:00 AM. Please come and help if you can. It is not a big time commitment, but it sure might show the love of our…
