Upcoming Events

It Ain't Over! Shirt Order

The mission continues, and this T-shirt reminds you to keep living it out! We'll be accepting orders through October 26th. To order, click HERE, or you can find order forms in the lobby. You can pay now or when the shirts come in.

Hamilton Diaper Drop

Andy & Emily Hamilton are excitedly awaiting baby #5's arrival (boy or girl? We shall see!), and we want to help them out with diapers, wipes, gift cards, etc.!

All items can be dropped off in the lobby this Sunday 10/18.

Chicken Stew Plus

One of our favorite community events, Chicken Stew Plus, is coming up on Saturday, October 24th!

As we get ready for the big day, we’re asking everyone to help us stock up on candy so we’ll have plenty to fill the kids’ bags as they make their way through the Hayride Trunk or Treat!

WE NEED CANDY!

All candy donations can be dropped off in the main lobby.

Thank you for helping us make this a special night for the kids and our community!

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

The only way to pull off such a huge community event is with lots and lots of help. We need people to help with: decorated trunks for Trunk or Treat, Food Team, Loading Assistants for the hayride, Welcome Team and more! Click here to sign up OR grab a card from the lobby and drop it in the Communication Card box.

FBC Small Groups

If you missed the announcement, Nate McCartney has taken on a part-time staff role here at FBC! One of his main areas of focus will be our Small Groups Ministry.

Joining a small group is about more than simply getting to know the people you see in passing on Sunday mornings. It’s an opportunity to build genuine relationships and find a community of people who will encourage you, pray with you, and walk alongside you. You’ll share meals, study God’s Word, pray together, and grow in your faith together. These connections are priceless.

If you would like to be part of a Small Group, contact Nate at natemfbc@icloud.com to find out about openings in our existing groups.

WE ALSO NEED SMALL GROUP LEADERS & HOSTS!

We have people waiting to be connected with a group, but we need more leaders and hosts to help make that possible. If you would be willing to facilitate or host a Small Group, please reach out to Nate at natemfbc@icloud.com

Please pray about this opportunity for ministry. God may be calling you to open your home, lead a group, or simply take the next step toward deeper community.

Food Drive Team

Robin Quinn is already beginning to prepare for our upcoming Christmas Community Food Drive, which we will start collecting for in November. If you would like to be a part of the team to hand out collection lists, sort food donations, and more, you can reach out to Robin at (336) 422-7272
