SPECIAL EVENTS COMING UP
Senior Adult Fellowship
On the second Monday of each month, at noon, our Senior Adults gather for a "pot-luck" luncheon in the Fellowship Hall. This has become one of the cherished times of fellowship for those seniors who gather to spend time together, share a meal and also hear a guest speaker share important information about community events and/or opportunities of interest to those in the mature years of life.
Children's Fest @ FBC
Thursday, Oct. 31, we will celebrate the fall classic by providing a safe place for kids to "trick or treat." Parents can drive through our alley and each child will receive a bag of candy. Or, parents/adults can their kids into the FLC to enjoy two bouncy houses, face painting and a "Cake Walk." Kids will receive a bag of candy inside (only one per child) instead of by driving through. All children must be accompanied by an adult when entering the FLC.
Life Management God's Way
Dr. Ron will continue his new teaching series called "Life Management God's Way."
This 4-week series will explore the 4 key areas of life that need to be managed God's way so we can make the most of our lives and accomplish all that God intends for us to do in this life.
The 4 Key Areas:
1. Our Thoughts; 2. Our Time;
3. Our Talents; & 4. Our Treasure.
Two Great Weekly Sunday Worship Services
The Crossing @ 9:15 a.m. / Sanctuary Service @ 10:30 a.m.
We know how important style is in worship. While we will still offer and grow our traditional service that we call Sanctuary Worship at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday in our Sanctuary, we also offer Contemporary Worship in our Fellowship area called The Crossing. The Crossing is casual in dress but we are not casual about our love for the Lord Jesus or our love for people who need Him. "THE CROSSING" meets each Sunday @ 9:15 a.m. in our Family Life Center.
We want all of our worship services to be fantastic experiences of fellowship with God and other worshipers. While teens and adults worship in THE CROSSING, children and preschoolers are cared for and have fun learning life lessons from the Bible taught by gifted teachers who love kids. Adults who want to be a part of an adult Bible study/small group can join others in contemporary Bible Study @ 10:30 and their children will attend "Children's Church" in our new Children's Theater.
HERE'S A GREAT IDEA.
We offer a full hot breakfast along with juice and coffee every Sunday in our Life Cafe' located in the Family Life Center - the building that borders Main St., from 8:30 a.m. til 9:15 a.m. Why not join us for breakfast and stick around for awhile?
Check These Things Out!
Sunday School - 9:15/10:30 a.m.
We have classes designed for everyone to find a group going through similar life-stages. Adults, we make you 3 promises:
1. You won't be asked to read the Bible aloud, unless you volunteer to;
2. You won't be asked to answer a question about the Bible aloud, unless you volunteer to; and,
3. You won't be asked to pray aloud, unless you volunteer to.
Regardless of the worship service you attend, we have classes that allow you to learn and grow. Let us help you find a group you're comfortable learning with.
Sunday Breakfast - each week from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m.
Enjoy a breakfast in our Life Cafe', across the alley-way in our FLC (the building that borders Main St.). It's on a donation basis and you can have fresh waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits, donuts, fruit, coffee and juice. Come enjoy not only a great meal but also great fellowship anytime from 8:30 a.m. until 9:15 a.m. Then join us for Sunday School or The Crossing contemporary worship @ 9:15 a.m. Coffee will be available during The Crossing worship at The Crossing Coffee Bar.
Wonderful Wednesdays
Wonderful Wednesdays begins with our professionally prepared supper in our Fellowship Hall each week @ 5 p.m. Along with a delicious hot meal, you can get a salad from the salad bar, with all kinds of "fixin's" and an assortment of desserts. Kids often are offered an alternative menu. The cost is only $5 for adults; kids are only $3 each. And the youth meal is only $2.
At 6 p.m., Adults stay in the Fellowship Hall for a season of prayer together and then teaching from Dr. Ron. Youth go up to ROCK student ministry. And, children go to the Children's Theater for "ELEVATE."

Katie Wilcoxson's "Coming Home for Christmas" Concert
We've rescheduled Katie for our December 29th Concert. Although this is the last of the concerts in our 2019 5th Sunday Concert series, it promises to be one of the best of the year!
