Opportunities to Bless Children & Youth

Tim Zimmerman & The King’s Brass Free concert at 7pm on Tuesday, August 22nd This group provides innovative worship for young and old alike through the “best in sacred brass music.” There is even an opportunity for us locals to toot our own horns during the show! Please see Pastor John for the music to practice. A freewill love offering will be taken during the concert.

Special Offering for the Wards Today Jonathan & Melissa Ward serve at the Word of Life Bible Institute in Canada. The school’s mission is to “inspire youth to live God’s truth” as they are trained for the front lines of the mission field. Offering plates are located in the back of the Sanctuary.

Housing for King’s Brass Musicians Needed FBC is looking for homes for 9 musicians after the show. They’ll each need their own bed. If you are interested in this opportunity, please call the church office.

Barnabas Sunday: Next Week! During the first Sunday of every month, FBC collects food items for the Danville Food Bank. The collection basket will be in the Foyer next Sunday. August’s need is Peanut Butter & Saltines.

New Addresses Needed! If you have received notice that your address has changed, please let the church office know by tomorrow! We are editing the information going into our new pictorial directory and this is the perfect time to get these changes in! An updated address directory will be printed in a few months to include the rest of the updates.
