Friends at FBCP,
Here are the updates and announcements you need for the week.
This Sunday we are worshipping in the sanctuary at 10:30AM, and this week we will partake in communion together. Come early to hang out with folks in the lobby and prepare for worship. The nursery will be open as usual for our toddlers and babies. Our kids four years old and up can join us in the park, and youth are invited to join us for worship and then will gather afterwards in the lobby. As a reminder, here are our community guidelines for being together in the sanctuary.
We’ll begin our service with an open time of sharing gratitudes, so we invite you to consider this prompt as we head into Sunday: As you practice daily gratitude, is there a theme arising in your thankfulness?
You can also prepare for worship by listening to this week’s scripture recording. That link will take you to a playlist of all the recordings so far for Matthew, and this week you’ll see there are two new tracks! Happy listening and meditating on scripture.
This Sunday, October 3rd, we are launching a new Sunday School hour for all ages—that means adults, too! We are excited to have four different classes you can choose from based on your interests, and each class will meet at 9:00AM on Sunday mornings before worship. Childcare will be provided so parents can opt in, too. To learn more about our class offerings and sign up, please use this form.
This week we are asking you to bring a a hearty soup/chili for the Friends In Deed Food Pantry if you are able. Right now this will help meet a major need in their supply. Thanks for contributing!
You’re invited to our Thursday noon Bible study! Join us each week on campus for a lively discussion about the upcoming Sunday teaching text. Email Pastor Chip for more details.
Baptisms, new member service, and potluck are all coming up Sunday, October 17th! We’re so excited to celebrate this time together as a family during service and afterward as we share a potluck meal in the park. We always love the diversity of flavors people bring to our communal table! Just so none of us overloads on yummy baked goods, we’d like to ask based on your last name, if you’re able, to bring a main dish (A-J), a side/salad (K-R), or a dessert (S-Z) of about 10 servings to share with your friends here. Potlucks are a special time here at FBCP, so we hope you’ll join us that day for some fantastic food and fellowship.
Grace and peace to you as we head into the weekend. We can’t wait to worship with you in our sanctuary on Sunday!
Less without you,
The FBCP Community
