Dear Family,
In response to the profound need of so many in the wake of recent hurricanes in Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas and various islands throughout the Caribbean, our entire offering this Sunday will be given to Samaritan’s Purse to aid in their relief efforts. I am confident that you will come prepared to give generously. Please make checks payable to Family Bible Church and then we will make one contribution from FBC.
Have a great day,
Pastor Colin
Dear Family,
Please join Family Bible Church for an evening of fun and fellowship this Sunday, Sept 17th. We will have a cornhole tournament, plus volleyball and other lawn games. Loitering is encouraged for those not competitively inclined.
Cornhole tourney begins at 4:15pm. Dinner will be at 5.
Please bring either a crockpot of chili or a side dish and don’t forget to bring your own drinks and lawn chairs.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Matt Lovell
As a reminder, our Fall semester of Sunday School begins tomorrow with a six week follow up to our Walk Thru the Old Testament live event last Sunday. At 9:30 we will have classes for children through adults, and everyone will be learning the same material for the next six weeks.
Our worship service will begin afterward at 10:30 as usual.
Please join us!
Pastor Colin
Dear Family,
For those of you who have registered to participate in the Walk Thru the Old Testament Live Event this Sunday, we will be serving lunch immediately following our worship service. The main course (fried holy bird) and tableware will be provided. If families with last names beginning with A-M will bring a dessert and a side dish and families beginning with N-Z will bring two side dishes we should have plenty to eat. Also if each family could provide their own drinks that would be helpful.
If you have not registered already, you might change your mind after experiencing Part 1 during our worship service. You can still register, but I can’t promise you a Guidebook.
Lot’s of people have signed up for this event. It’s going to be a great day!
See you Sunday,
Pastor Colin
Then Sunday is your day!
The registration deadline for our Walk Thru the Old Testament live event on August 13 is this Sunday, August 6. We will need to give a final count on Monday to have materials for the event here by the 13th. Information on how to register is available here. Childcare is available. I hope you will join us–it is going to be a great day of learning and fun!
See you Sunday,
Pastor Colin
Dear Family,
It looks like the Lord has blessed us with clearing weather for tonight’s Runner’s Camp Track Meet. If you have been unable to make it out to camp this week, please come cheer for the kids as they run, jump and throw in the events of track and field. The meet begins at 5:30. You may wish to bring a towel in case the stadium benches are still damp. There will be hot dogs, chips and drinks for a small fee.
Let the games begin!
Pastor Colin
Dear Family,
This Sunday, 6/18, in recognition of Father’s Day we will be serving a hearty “Man Breakfast” at 9:30 before our worship service at 10:30. After breakfast we will spend some time in prayer for The Runner’s Camp which begins the following evening. We currently have 57 campers registered and 41 volunteers (Yay God)!
So as Jesus said in John 21:12, “Come and have breakfast.”
See you Sunday,
Pastor Colin
Dear Family,
A few weeks ago we released a summer calendar which many of you picked up at church. Since that time we have made some modifications and have published a revised calendar, attached below.
A couple of items to note:
That’s all for now. See you Sunday,
Pastor Colin
Dear Parents,
Have you heard the words, “I’m bored” coming from your kids yet? It’s only the first week of summer—think what it will be like 4 weeks from now! If there is a good chance that by then your kids will have watched more TV or video games than is good for them, or if you would like them to get some exercise and have fun while doing it, then check out The Runner’s Camp.
The Runner’s Camp is a one week evening camp sponsored by Family Bible Church teaching the sport of track and field to kids ages 6-12. Each evening begins with a gospel-centered devotion time followed by age/gender group instruction in 8 different track and field events mixed with fun games. The camp culminates with a track and field meet in which each child competes against their own age group to showcase his or her running, jumping or throwing abilities. Ribbons are awarded to all competitors.
Evansville’s first ever Runner’s Camp meets June 19-23 at North High School’s Bundrant Stadium, 5:30-8:00 PM. You can register campers online or sign up to volunteer at runnerscampevansville.com. Please register soon so we can order t-shirts!
Dear Family,
Our new website, runnerscampevansville.com is now live and accepting registrations for campers and volunteers (both youth and adult). When you register you will receive an email confirmation (check your junk mailbox) to make sure it does not wind up in the wrong place).
We also have received most of our printed marketing materials (two sided post cards and business cards–door hangers will arrive later this week). If you wish to come by the church and pick up a supply to distribute, I will leave a box of both inside the church vestibule. I will post a plan for us to launch a distribution campaign to cover surrounding neighborhoods and businesses in a day or two. Please help us spread the word by linking social media feeds to the website above and pray that families will get excited about this event.
Yesterday I was encouraged by a former track and field athlete from Indiana University who is pleased to join our camp staff as a coach. She told me, “I am so excited that I get to use my interest in track and field for the gospel!” My thoughts exactly!
I will post again soon with a plan to distribute marketing material.
“Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” (Hebrews 12:1).
Pastor Colin
