Friends at FBCP,
Happy Friday! Here are all the updates and announcements for this week.
This Sunday we will be gathering in the garage at 10:30AM for worship, and we can’t wait to be together! Come early to say hi to friends and settle in. We have a great group of folks leading worship this week, and we hope to see you there!
This week we are asking you to bring rice for the Friends In Deed Food Pantry if you are able. We are excited to resume this regular practice of collecting donations for Friends In Deed, and right now this will help meet a major need in their supply. Thanks for contributing!
Hooray for all those who have been vaccinated! If you recently got your first shot or forgot to let us know you received your second dose, you can click here to share that info with our staff. We are grateful that so many in our community have been able to receive their shots.
The American Red Cross is hosting a Blood Drive in our gym on Tuesday, June 15, from 10:00am-4:00pm. They are still in need of sign-ups, and we hope you will consider this opportunity to meet a very urgent need. Please visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter sponsor code FBCP to to schedule an appointment. Each donor will receive a $5 Amazon discount, too!
Choir has resumed! If you want to join the fun and the singing, this month choir practice is in the church park at 7pm on June 16 and 30. We’d love to see you there! You can email Pastor Leslie for more info.
This Thursday, June 17th, we are starting up a Bible study at noon in the park! Join us every Thursday for a time of discussion and fellowship as we look at scripture together. Our first focus will be on the book of Galatians. There are no materials to download but you are encouraged to bring a Bible (or we can loan you one!). Feel free to bring your lunch to eat, too. Hope to see you there! Email Pastor Chip with any questions.
This month we invite you to consider giving beyond your contributions to FBCP by supporting a special offering called One Great Hour of Sharing. We take up this offering each year because it is such an important way to support urgent needs around the world in partnership with our American Baptist global servants. When you give to One Great Hour of Sharing, your funds support disaster relief, development projects, and refugee ministries of the American Baptist Churches and its partners. Thank you for considering how you might partner with this important work. To give to OGHS, click here and select the option in the drop-down menu.
Grace and peace to you as we head into the weekend. We can’t wait to worship with you on Sunday!
Less without you,
The FBCP Community
