Friends at FBCP,
Here are the updates and announcements you need for the week.
COVID-19 Update
If you are on our all church email list, you should have received our latest COVID-19 update announcing our plans to remove all our COVID-19 restrictions beginning Sunday, March 13th. You can read the entire update on our practices and plans for worshiping together here.
This Sunday
Join us for worship in the sanctuary at 10:30 am as we partake in communion together. 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 stay for our regular youth gathering and lunch. As we move out of the Omicron peak, FBCP’s latest COVID-19 practices and plans can be found here.
The Friends In Deed Food Pantry item for this Sunday is canned chicken/tuna.
