OPPORTUNITIES OF WORSHIP 9 and On Wed., Oct. 29 from 6:00-7:30 our church will have a Trunk and Treat instead of our traditional Fall Festival. We invite our church members to have lots of fun dressing up and decorating their trunks for our own kids and others from our community. We will also have a bounce house, slide, popcorn, snow cones, and Buttons the Clown. A hot dog supper will be provided. There are 3 ways you can participate: 1. Host a trunk. 2. Donate candy. 3. Sign up to help with an activity. This is a great opportunity to reach out to children and their families and have a great time! Call the church office (706376-3151) or email Jennifer ([email protected]) for details. FBC e-mail Prayer Chain When there is news affecting our church family, e-mails are sent to members of our prayer chain. If you would like for us to add you to this ministry, please send an e-mail to [email protected]. Many prayer requests are shared in this way. Shoe boxes and brochures are in the church office, the Fellowship Hall, or the vestibule that include instructions on packing your boxes.
