Who's Ready for Fall?


Churchwide effort toward Operation Christmas Child:

We will begin September 2nd!

Collection buckets will be located by the elevators in both educational buildings for dropping off items!

The whole church is asked to bring specific items for the shoeboxes, rather than a completely packed shoebox, over the course of a few weeks as follows:

Sept 2-15: Please bring personal hygiene items!
Sept 16-29: Please bring school supplies!
Sept 30-Oct 13: Please bring small toys!
Oct 14-27: Please bring shoeboxes, and monetary donations to mail the boxes!

GA's will pack the boxes!

Church members can still bring their own complete boxes, but this is one way the church can work together to accomplish an important missions opportunity, and the kids can participate in a churchwide effort.

Fall Festival: October 31st:

5pm-7pm - this will be a special Wednesday night! Supper still served at FBC as usual.


STILL TO COME... Auburn vs. Alabama Food Drive, Christmas events, etc!

Mark your calendars now: 
Children's Christmas Program (Choirs, Missions and Bible Drills presentations): December 9th
Kids Disciple Now: February 2nd - 3rd
Preschool Easter Egg Hunt: March 24th
DANCE YOUR SHOES OFF! April 17th
Children's Spring Program (Choirs, Missions, and Bible Drills presentations): April 24th

God is oh so good!

There are no words to describe the faith that Bryant and Whitney are displaying right this moment, and for the duration of her pregnancy. Sweet Henley is 5 days old now! After reading Whitney's blog I feel like I know her, although I think I've only met her once... you'll understand what I mean if you take the time to read it as well, and I promise you will be challenged. This precious young couple is in my prayers nonstop, and they are my new favorite heroes. Please join me in praying for Bryant and Whitney, and their little blessing Henley. Her life is a result of God's grace and wonderful, godly parents and supportive family!
