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…

Sunday, Sunday School at 9:30 and Worship at 10:30. It’s the day after Christmas and many will be recovering from the previous days festivities. Don’t neglect worship, though.

Christmas Time is Here!
Well… at least it will be this Saturday. Here at FBC we always hang the greens on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. This year is no different. The building project impacts what we can do a bit, but we’re going to decorate as much as we can. Will you join us at 10AM on Saturday? We’ll have refreshments and plenty of coffee, as usual. We have 2 CIA projects going at the same time on Saturday, so some of those who…
