Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
This Sunday (8 December) is the final day of the annual Lottie Moon Week of Prayer for International Missions. Click HERE to find the stories of IMB missionaries and join with thousands around the world as they lift them in prayer this week. Click HERE for a prayer guide that goes along with these stories, to help you pray more effectively.
FBC was started by funds from the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, which supported missionaries Rev. Herbert & Jackie Neely for the 15 years they pastored here, as well as six missionary journeymen who served here in youth work. It was from this fund that the property for our original church building was purchased, and they also matched the local building funds we accumulated ourselves.
This year, FBC is aiming to raise $21,000 for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, 100% of which will go directly to support missionaries on the field. You can place donations in the offering plate or send via on-line transfer. Please be sure to indicate clearly what it is for.

Did you miss Emmanuel?
This year's kids' Christmas musical, Emmanuel, was a resounding success!
A huge thanks to everyone who made it possible, including the volunteers who came out weekly to rehearse with the kids, the moms who put the costumes together, the team who did the decorations, the folks who ran the sound, visuals and livestream, the parents who got their kids to rehearsals each week, helped them with their lines and played the songs in the car for weeks so their kids could learn them, and of course, the kids themselves who put so much time and effort into learning, practicing, and performing so well!
If you missed this amazing performance, don't worry, you can still catch it HERE on FBC's YouTube channel.
