Friends at FBCP,
Here are the updates and announcements you need for the week.
Join us this Sunday for worship in the sanctuary at 10:30AM. 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: What is a verse or passage of scripture for which you have found yourself most grateful recently?
You can also prepare for worship by listening to Sunday’s scripture in this recording by Pastor John Jay. The passage is Matthew 4:1-11, and you’ll hear a combination of music and scripture in this week’s meditation.
This week we are asking you to bring your favorite non-perishable dinner food item 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.
We are super excited to once again host a Women’s Brunch this Saturday, September 18th, at 10AM! Join us in the park for a delicious meal and the chance to get to know one another. We’ll also hear a personal story of faith from our own Jessica Henson (you can check out her work here!). All women and girls are welcome, and feel free to bring a friend who could use an encouraging time of food and fellowship. Register here so we can prepare enough chairs and food.
On 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. To learn more about our class offerings and sign up, please use this form.
Today’s the last day to register for the annual gathering for American Baptist Churches in our region. This year’s meeting takes place September 30-October 2 at Gardena Valley Baptist Church. You can also choose to attend virtually if you are not able to join in person. You can click here for the Annual Meeting Brochure, which has information about the sessions and speakers for each day. Click here to register online, or you can click here for the mail-in registration form. If you have questions or would like to attend as a delegate, please contact Pastor Lindsay. Let us know if you have any questions or need help registering.
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,
