Sunday
Our Spring Sunday School classes continue this Sunday at 9 a.m., and it’s not too late to sign up. Click here or simply come to class on Sunday. Email Pastor Chip with any questions.
Join us at 10:30 a.m. for worship in the sanctuary! 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 our regular lunch and fellowship after service (and thank you to those youth who volunteered to help with hospitality this week!). 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.
Join us today after worship service for a 20-minute prayer circle to pray for our global partners Mel Baggao (Lebanon) and Kit Ripley (Thailand).
Our crafty group invites all folks ages 7 & up (all skill levels) to continue learning and working on individual yarn projects after service today in the Southside Room. As members continue to gain practice, we will be able to develop charity projects to give to the community, made with love. BYO snacks or lunch and be ready to have fun!
Our basketball night for folks who just like having a good time continues to meet every other Sunday at 7 p.m. in the Gym. We hope you can join us Sunday night! No RSVP needed.
This week, the Friends In Deed food pantry item is rice.
Coming Up
On Saturday, May 6th, at 6:30 p.m. in the Chapel, everyone is invited to attend a short 30-minute recital given by our very own cellist, Nat, and his chamber group, Nth Trio. Nth Trio was selected as one of 20 chamber groups worldwide to compete at the 50th annual Fischoff Chamber Competition, and this is recital on May 6th is an opportunity to play for friends and family.
We will have our FBCP Basics Class after worship service next Sunday, May 7th, 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. Text “basics” to 626.727.9498 to RSVP. Email Pastor Chip for more details and/or if you are attending and will need childcare.
Sign ups start now for Community Dinners happening on Friday, May 19th! Text “dinner” to 626.727.9498 to sign up. We could still use a couple more host homes, so contact Pastor Chip if you’re interested. These dinners are a wonderful time to share a meal, and it is a great way to get to know other church members better. We hope you can participate whether you are new or seasoned!
