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. Come early to settle in and greet one another. We know it’s been a hot week, so bring a water bottle to fill at our water stations. See you there!
During worship in the garage, our nursery will be open for babies and toddlers. Kids ages four to ten years old can join us in the park for programming. Yay! Parents can enter off Union Street to drop kids off and sign them in. We look forward to a time of fun and learning with our younger ones!
This week we are asking you to bring pasta and pasta sauce 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!
This is the last Sunday to bring items for our Backpack Drive with Friends In Deed. Many families will be facing the same financial concerns as they have in the past, and probably some new ones, too. This could make preparing their kids for the new school year an even bigger challenge since there are so many costs that come into play for a new school year. If you would like to help out, here are some things to consider:
Please avoid all red and all blue backpacks. This is very important to Friends In Deed.
Backpacks should be sturdy enough to handle the rigors of a student's day and the crazy amount of books they heft around, especially for our high school students.
The supplies needed are recommended by the Pasadena/Altadena area schools and a list is included here.
If you want to donate some funds and have Shawn shop for you, select “Friends In Deed” on the dropdown menu on our giving page.
To our families with kids, here is the registration for our kids camp that we sent out last week. Camp runs from July 26-30, and we can’t wait to play and connect with our church family. (And if you’re reading this and are interested in helping out, let us know!)
Join us on Thursday for our Bible study at noon in the park. We’ll be there every week for a time of discussion and fellowship as we look at scripture together. Our first focus is 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.
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
