FBC Happenings

Hello! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I wanted to update you on some of the things going on in our church. If anyone knows of anything taking place and would like for me to post it here, please let me know.

Here are some of the items on the agenda:

Parents remember that the gym will be open on Friday, Feb. 24th from 6-8pm for children.

The youth will be going to the WinterJam concert, Friday, Feb. 24th. The concert is in Columbia. The church van will leave from the church at 5pm. I remember when I was in the youth, we always had so much fun going to things like this. It is so important to keep our young people and children involved in positive things. Especially this day and age when so many things are at their disposal and can lead them down some very bad avenues.

Youth Community Service Day is Saturday, March 4th. The youth will be in town collecting donations for hurricane victims. Items they will be collecting are sweatshirts, blankets, canned food, teddy bears and hygiene products (i.e. toothpaste, toothbrushes, toiletries and such). We have so much to be thankful for and the people that are affected by the damage done by the hurricane will have a long road ahead of them. We need to, as Christians, show how loving and caring we are by extending acts of kindness such as this to those in need. Come out and support our youth and this worthwhile cause!

Also, if you would like to donate $10 for a t-shirt for the youth to wear that day, please drop it in the offering plate and mark the envelope "t-shirt". I am sure the youth will appreciate the donations.

Don't forget about the Gardening sessions being held the 1st & 3rd Monday of each month. Sessions begin at 2pm and are free and open to the public.

There is also a new program that will begin Momday, March 6th from 6:30-8pm. This program is designed to not only change your physical life, but your spiritual life as well. During these sessions, you will learn how scripture, exercise and healthy eating habits will help you become a new creature! If you are interested, there is a sign up sheet in the church foyer.

Vacation Bible School is already in the works. I am sure those in charge have been busy already with choosing which program to use this year. It is entitled "Arctic Edge--Where Adventure meets Courage". VBS will begin on June 4th and ends on June 8th. The motto for this year is "Be strong! Be courageous! Follow Jesus". Classes will begin at 6pm each night and end at 9pm. Come on out and bring a friend!

Please remember those that are sick, bereaved, etc. in your prayers. We never know when it will be one of us needing those same prayers!

Also, happy birthday or anniversary to those of you that are having a birthday or anniversary this week. Here's to many more happy years!

Tis all I have for now. Until next time, take care and God bless!
