Members Meeting this Sunday

Dear Family,

As a reminder, we will hold our annual members business meeting at Family Bible Church this Sunday, November 9, immediately following our worship service. All members over the age of 18 are encouraged to attend so that we may establish a quorum needed to conduct business; so that you may be well-informed about important matters at our church; and so that we may benefit from your input into our decisions. The agenda for our meeting will include our proposed budget for 2026, which will be presented for your approval. If you would like to see a copy of the budget prior to the meeting, please send a message through our contact us page and a copy will be emailed to you. Also, after a two year hiatus our elders will recommend Keith Findley for your approval as a candidate to rejoin our elder team. Keith will be familiar to all of you, having served faithfully as an elder at FBC from 2017-2023. I hope you will join us to consider these and other matters you may wish to discuss.

See you Sunday,

Pastor Colin

Winter Storm Worship Schedule Change

Dear Family,

Due to the anticipated timing of a winter storm tomorrow morning, Family Bible Church will be meeting for worship tonight, January 4, at 6 PM. We will postpone the restart of Sunday School until next week. My apologies if this schedule change interferes with anyone’s plans tonight. But I would like keep our people off of the roads tomorrow morning without forsaking our assembly for worship. Please pass this message along to friends and family that you think might not see it otherwise.

I hope you are able to join us tonight,

Pastor Colin

Storm Damage

Dear Family,

Since the home of at least one of our FBC families had significant damage from last night’s storm, we are trying to get organized to help those in need. If your home was damaged and you need some help with cleanup, please contact us. Likewise, if you are available to help with cleanup today, please contact us.

Thanks,

Colin Kerr

Members Meeting this Sunday

Dear Family,

I am writing to remind you of our annual members business meeting at Family Bible Church this Sunday, November 12, immediately following our worship service. All members over 18 are encouraged to attend so that we may establish a quorum needed to conduct business. We will be hearing a few brief reports on the state of our ministry and presenting our 2024 budget for your approval. In addition, our elders will present Brent Griffin and Dan Grimm Jr. for your approval as candidates to join our team of elders. You are familiar with these men since Brent joined our staff as Associate Pastor in April and Dan previously served for six years as one of our founding elders. Brandon Robards and Keith Findley are rotating off our elder team after six years of faithful service. Please thank these men for their steady guidance and prayers on our behalf. Keith has agreed to continue serving as a deacon and will need to be confirmed to that office by your vote of approval. I hope you will join us to consider these important matters.

See you Sunday,

Pastor Colin

Members Meeting 3/19

Dear Family Bible Church Members,

We will have a Members Meeting next Sunday, March 19 immediately following our worship service. Our elders will be presenting Brent Griffin for your approval for our Associate Pastor position. Brent has served faithfully at Westwood Church for over 10 years in a variety of roles and our elders believe he is qualified and well-suited to serve as our new Associate Pastor. Please take the opportunity to introduce yourselves to Brent, his wife Brooke, and their two girls Emma and Lila at church in the coming weeks.

Also next Sunday (3/19), as our teaching series on the book of Esther is coming to a close, we will be holding a Purim celebration during our worship service. If you don’t know what that is, come and find out! Let me especially encourage you to bring your kids as we will need them to help us celebrate what God did to save his people (and by extension, all of us) at the time of Esther.

See you Sunday,

Pastor Colin

Brent has been serving in various roles at Westwood Church here in Evansville for over 10 years and we are excited to hear him preach this Sunday at FBC. Please welcome Brent and his wife Brooke, and their two girls Emma and Lila and take the opportunity to introduce yourselves to them at lunch this Sunday.
