Christmas Tree of Love – Christmas is a time of giving! The Trees of Love are in the main foyer and kitchen foyer by the gym entrance. Each ornament represents a person and a gift request or suggestion. As God leads you, please take an ornament from the tree and return it unwrapped in a Christmas-style gift bag to the church office by NEXT SUNDAY. Please keep the ornament with the gift so we can get it to the right person. If you are giving a gift card, please attach the receipt and/or the activation slip with the gift card.

 

During the Christmas season, FBC has been partnering with this ministry to truck drivers at the Buckhorn Chapel! This year’s suggestions are hand sanitizers, oral hygiene products, shampoo, shaving products, deodorant, lotions, books of stamps, air fresheners, gift certificates for common restaurants or coffee shops or sunglasses! Items can be dropped off anytime until NEXT SUNDAY in the collection box outside of the Kitchen.

Take an Info Card and as many cards as you like and return them to the office by December 20. Our prison ministry team will deliver them to the prisons.
