Parking Challenge - The construction and parking situation at FBCP is still in a state of flux. The Holly Street entrance should always be accessible but you may need to approach it from the west (e.g. from Fair Oaks). Stay alert - no one gets hurt!
It can be hot in the Sanctuary! - Remember to wear light clothing and we have cold water by the welcome desk. We also got some new fancy fans so you can make your own airflow!
Audio/Visual Team - Pastor Riley is looking for people to join the audio/visual team (the amazing folks in the sound booth). Contact Pastor Riley for more info.
Music Album Release - Pastor Riley is just about finished mixing and mastering a wonderful new album of songs featuring talented members of our congregation - some new songs and some cherished favorites! Look for the release in the coming weeks.
