Friends at FBCP,
Here are the updates and announcements you need for the week.
Tomorrow
Natalee and Gretchen will be leading an all day prayer retreat tomorrow, June 18th, from 9 am - 5 pm here at the church. Cost is $10 and includes lunch. You can register here. Email Pastor Chip for any questions.
This Sunday
Our new teaching focus is called HYMN STUDIES. As we are able, we will be making listening tracks to go along with each week. Listen to the tracks we have so far by clicking the button above (these hymn tracks will also be our homepage for a while)!
Join us for worship in the sanctuary at 10:30 am! The nursery will be open as usual for our toddlers and babies. Our kids five years old and up can join us for the first part of worship and then will be dismissed to their classrooms with their leaders. They can sit with their parents or join us in the front rows at the start of service. Our youth are invited to join us for worship. Please note there will be no youth gathering this week so they can spend time with their families on Father’s Day. Prayer team will be available at the front of the sanctuary toward the end of the service to pray with those who would like to receive prayer. We will also have a special appreciation for all the men in recognition of the many ways they can be a nurturing presence in our community and lives.
The Friends In Deed Food Pantry item for this Sunday is rice.
Future Happenings & Other News
Women’s Brunch is Saturday, June 25th, at 10 am outside in the park! It will be a time to share a delicious meal, get to know some awesome ladies, and hear a personal story of faith from one of the women in our community. All women and girls are welcome. Text “brunch” to 626.727.9498 to register. Email Pastor Lindsay if you have any questions.
John Jay and Corrie will be leading the next couples class on Sunday, June 26th at 5 pm in the chapel. To sign up, you can text “couples” to (626) 727-9498. Please email Pastor Lindsay if you plan to attend and need childcare.
The FBCP Foundation is a separate entity established in 1958 by members committed to contributing financially to the church in the present and future years. Each year the Foundation has some funds set aside to disburse to FBCP members for post-secondary educational scholarships. Members interested in applying for 2022-2023 academic year can apply here. Applications are due Monday, June 27, 2022.
We will be collecting donations for Friends In Deed’s School Supply Drive starting Sunday, July 3rd. You can bring supplies from July 3rd-17th or donate money by July 10th for Shawn Mann to purchase supplies. 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 the list can be found here.
They need more supplies for upper grades (6th-12th) than for lower grades.
FBCP’s Kids Summer Camp for our kids five years old and up will be July 25th-29th from 9 am - 12 pm every day. Pastor Lindsay will be sending out registration information to parents this week. We need your help to make it a special time for our kids! Email Pastor Lindsay if you’re interested in volunteering for this year’s camp.
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,
The FBCP Community
