Parents can now watch the service live on new TVs in the nurseries. You won’t miss a thing! The Gym is Open to Watch the Service! NEW! Tables and chairs will be provided with some kiddo-friendly options available for a more relaxed environment to watch the service live on the big screen. Feel free to bring your camp chair if it’s more comfortable than a metal folding chair. Friendly Reminder – At this time, we ask that masks be worn in all areas of the building (masks are available at the Info Desk & gym welcome table).

Pre-Register Today! Forms can be filled out at either the Info Desk or the welcome table in the gym. Kiddos must wear masks.
College Care Ministry – It’s that time of year again! Our college students will be headed into mid-terms soon and we as a church family want to be there to root them on! While some students are back on campus, others are at home distance-learning, so this year care packages will be available for pick-up on Sunday, 11/22. We hope to catch ALL students at home during Fall break. Monetary donations are gratefully accepted to help cover the cost of supplies (no item donations this time). Please make checks out to FBC and add “College ministry” to the memo. Student Info is due by November 15. *Submit student info even if info hasn’t changed*. Fill out the connect card or the online form in the newsletter.
