House Moving Today

Today we will have a new neighbor at the church.  The Boles will be moving their new home to the corner of F Drive and Kalamazoo all day today.  We will share some pictures of the move in the days to come!

Love in Action Part Two: Common Ground

Check out Common Ground at www.commongroundfbc.wordpress.com.

This is the new place to help the church be the church.

We all have gifts, talents, abilities, and stuff…we need to share them because people in our own community should not go without.

Take a few moments to check it out and we invite you to be a part.

Welcome New Members

We are thrilled to welcome three people into membership at FBC.  Corey Grazul and Randy and Susan Copas were accepted into membership on Sunday morning and committed themselves to this community and mission here at FBC.

Make sure to welcome them!

Love in Action

LOVE IN ACTION: PART ONE

Just over two months ago the church was challenged to be the church and care for those who are in a season of their life with hours cut from work, job loss, or need.  During this time we have collected to date over $13,000 and distributed just over $12,000.  It has been a blessing to those who have given and those who have received.

LOVE IN ACTION: PART TWO

This upcoming Sunday in the first week of our new series “Origins” we will present part two of Love in Action.  This will expand upon what has happened and happening so far in this faith community.  Come check out part two of Love in Action.

Week in Review

What a great last week!  Beth Moore was a great event.  Many women converged on FBC for the two day event to be challenged and inspired!  The worship arts gallery was amazing with many people saying they finally “got it” when they saw how everyday activities really could be acts of worship.  The church picnic was great yesterday with many people filling up the lot enjoying lots of great food and time with each other.  Thanks for all who put their time and effort into the events!

This week we hope you are continually looking for God all around you and seeking times to worship him in your everyday life (Rom. 12:1).

On this Sunday, Labor Day Weekend, we together will be sharing in the Lord’s Supper, a central point of worship.

Have a blessed week!

Moving Dirt

In the next week or two, dirt will be flying in the field next to the church.

The field should be planted with prairie grass and also, the construction will being on the softball diamond and activity field.

These will be some exciting changes and make this field very usable in the years to come to many people.

Keep your eyes open.

Exciting Land Updates

By the end of the summer and next year, anyone who drives by the field behind the church will notice some major changes.  Here are just a few updates on what you can expect.

Parcel 1 (Corner of F Drive and Kalamazoo): This lot has been sold.  It was closed on last Friday.  Hopefully by the fall or early next year we will have some new neighbors living on the property.

Parcel 2 and 3: These are still for sale.  There has been some recent interest on parcel 3 (furthest south).

Softball Diamond and Activity Field: You may have noticed pink flags on stakes moving in the wind.  This is staked for a new softball diamond and field which will be used for various activities throughout the year.  This will be a very nice addition to the church and neighborhood.

Prairie Grass: Soon, the remaining field will be planted with prairie grass with flowers.  This grass will be a striking and beautiful addition to the property.

Walking Trails: Once the prairie grass has grown, walking trails will be added to the field.  There will be various access points to enjoy the outdoors and trails.

Keep your eyes open!
