Events 

-   FAITH AT HOME -

 “Take it Home Event”

 

FRIDAY, November 21, 5:30 PM

An evening of Family Fun, dinner and discussion.

There will be two “break out” sessions…

1.     “Money and Me” for parents and children (Gr. one & up) – Families will learn about good stewardship and what God teaches us about money

Guest speaker:  Greg Gibault

 

2.     “Family Devotions” – how to do them – sharing of ideas and resources, for families with preschoolers.

***Please note – it takes a village (a church family) to raise a child and our church family has a wealth of experience to share with our parents.  We welcome everyone from our church family - there will be opportunities to share information, reminisce and bless our parents and children.

Coming up: Tuesday, December 2 6:30pm at the Mars Hill KLO Campus. Take some time to reflect on the upcoming Christmas Season.  Join us to watch “The Nativity Story” movie and support the gym renewal by purchasing a Ginger Spice Latte or Peppermint Hot Cocoa.  

 

Announcements

Operation Christmas Child

The boxes are here and available in the foyer along with brochures and a list of suggestions of what to put in the boxes.

No Food Items Please!  They are finding too many restrictions in certain countries making it difficult to allow some items in.  No liquids, gels, or toothpaste.  These can freeze, leak and cause damage to the whole parcel.  Items most appreciated are school supplies, combs, soap, small towels and tools.  Lets help Samartitans Purse demonstrate the love of Jesus.  These boxes open the door to communities often closed to other groups and can then offer safe drinking water, education, health care, emergency relief and much much more.


Do you have any ideas for our “Did You Know?” section in the bulletin? Joanne is looking for little known and/or interesting facts about FBC. Email them to her at the office or leave a note in her mailbox.
