Lenten Tea Coming to FBC! This Wednesday at 1:30pm – Guest Speaker, Debbie Dower, will be speaking on “Living as the Beloved” sharing her
experience as a missionary serving at the Black Forest Academy in Kandern, Germany. Tea service and light refreshments will be provided. Join us for some encouragement! Debbie was born and raised in northern New Jersey. With her family, she attended churches that were grounded in the teaching of God’s Word. Through the ministries of children’s Sunday school and Pioneer Girls, Debbie came to know God’s love for her and her need of a Savior. She gave her life to the Lord at age 11 during a Pioneer Girls’ meeting. Following graduation from Cedarville College, Debbie taught at a Christian school in New Jersey for six years. In 1991, she moved to Kandern, Germany to begin her ministry at Black Forest Academy, a school focused on providing a Christian education for children of missionaries and other expatriates. Debbie is a school psychologist and has provided educational consultation, testing, and intervention for families at Black Forest Academy as well as for families in the greater missionary community.
 
VBS 2020: MYSTERY ISLAND!! July 13-17 | 6-8:30PM | Closing Ceremony July 19 – Is there just one God? Who is God? What is God like? Does God love me? Can I know God? Our kids grapple with questions like these every day. At Mystery Island, we’ll uncover the truth about our Creator God! There’s a sea of confusion about who God is and what he’s like, so we’ll track down the one true God and learn how amazing he is through the pages of Scripture.
