Tomorrow
Goodbye for Now: Joel Wilsey’s Funeral and Worship Service
All are welcome to attend this service tomorrow as we honor the life of Joseph “Joel” Wilsey at 1 pm in the sanctuary. We hope you join us as we remember this dearly loved and special member of our congregation. There will be a fellowship meal in the gym immediately following the service.
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.
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. Please note that because this will be the first Sunday of the month, our kids five years old and up will join us in the sanctuary for service. Our youth are invited to join us for worship and for our regular youth gathering and lunch afterward. The 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.
The Friends In Deed Food Pantry item for this Sunday is rice (5 lb bag or smaller).
Future Happenings
It’s time for potluck again on Sunday, October 9th! Just so none of us overloads on yummy baked goods, we’d like to ask based on your last name, if you’re able, to bring a main dish (A-J), a side/salad (K-R), or a dessert (S-Z) of about 10 servings to share with your friends here. Potlucks are a special time here at FBCP, so we hope you’ll join us that day for some fantastic food and fellowship.
Our potlucks are great fun, but they are a lot of work, too! We need your help to fill a few slots we still have for help with set up beforehand on October 9th. This is a one-time commitment and an easy way to serve here, so if you have an hour to give, then we are looking for you! You can sign up in the lobby space on Sunday.
We will be having our Basics Class after worship service on Sunday, October 16th, 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 and/or if you are attending and will need childcare.
Community News
We want to take a moment to celebrate our very own Astyn Turrentine, who recently recorded with Omar Apollo for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series. Check out the concert here to enjoy some music wherever you are!
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
