This Sunday
Because our sanctuary does not have air conditioning, we encourage you to bring a water bottle and dress lightly on Sundays for worship service. Although there are hand fans throughout the sanctuary in the back of the pews, you may also want to bring your own hand fan as the summer heat continues.
Our current 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)!
For those of you coming in from the east, please expect and plan accordingly for reduced traffic flow on 210 Westbound from Irwindale to 605 South until next Tuesday morning due to road work and lane closures.
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 and for our regular youth gathering and lunch afterward. 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.
John Jay and Corrie are leading the next couples class this Sunday, July 24th, 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 Friends In Deed Food Pantry item for this Sunday is rice (max 5 lb bag).
Future Happenings & Other News
Due to some COVID cases on staff, Kids Camp is being postponed one week so we can be sure to have a healthy team ready to serve our kids. The new dates are August 1st-5th from 9 am - 12 pm each day. This year we will explore what it means to cultivate a sense of awe and wonder as we reflect on how we are wonderfully made! We are so excited to hang out, learn, and create as we deepen our relationships with one another. All kids five years old and up are invited to attend. If your kids have other friends who want to get to know our church community, you are welcome to invite them, too. We hope that through all of our activities during the week, our kids will tap into their sense of wonder and curiosity at all of God's creation. You can register your camper here.
We need your help to make Kids Camp a special time for our kids! Email Pastors Lindsay and Mary if you’re interested in volunteering for this year’s camp.
We will be having our Basics Class after worship service on Sunday, August 14th, at 12:30 pm in the Southside room for those who are interested in learning more about our church and/or becoming a member. Pastors John Jay and Chip will go over our history as an American Baptist church and what it means to be part of the FBCP community. Lunch will be provided. Email Pastor Chip for more details.
The memorial service for Hank Rave will be Saturday, August 20th, at 11 am in the chapel. There will be light refreshments afterwards in the breezeway and sanctuary lobby. All are welcome as we remember Hank who was a beloved part of our FBCP family for many years.
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
