Friends at FBCP,
Happy Juneteenth! 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 know that it’s been a hot week, so we’ll have water stations where you can fill up your water bottles.
This Sunday we also have programming in the park for our kids during worship! We’ll have a fun Father’s Day craft and an exciting Bible lesson, too. Parents can park in the garage and then bring kids down to the park at the Union Street gate to sign kids in. You can read more info in the weekly communication that Pastor Lindsay sent out to families today.
This week we are asking you to bring soup, canned tuna, and canned chicken 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!
Choir has resumed! If you want to join the fun and the singing, the last choir practice this month is in the church park at 7pm on June 30. We’d love to see you there! You can email Pastor Leslie for more info.
Yesterday we started up our 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.
On Sunday, July 4, we will have a worship service in the park with lunch right after. We hope you’ll join us on this first Sunday of the month as we share both communion and a full meal together. It’s also a service we hope that families with kids will feel encouraged to attend, and we promise more fun songs with hand motions that our kids know well!
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
