Dear Family,

As many of you know, this coming Tuesday, June 9th is the day that Colton and Taylor Potter’s adoption of Eric and Raymond will be recognized by the State of Indiana. We praise God with them that this process is finally coming to an end and that the boys we love will be permanently added to their family. If you would like to celebrate the official adoption proceedings with them, the Potter’s have invited our church family to join them at the Posey County Superior Court Judge at 10:00AM on Tuesday morning.

Since we have all been adopted into God’s household through faith in Jesus Christ, we have good reason to celebrate with the Potter family. I hope many of you are able to join us on Tuesday. Please congratulate the Potters for this wonderful blessing.

See you Sunday,

Pastor Colin

Dear Family,

Due to the winter storm warning, we are making some adjustments to our worship service schedule this weekend. We will meet for worship on Saturday, 1/24 at 10 AM, rather than Sunday. Sunday School will be cancelled this week. We will livestream our service through our website as usual for those who are unable to join us. It will also be recorded and posted to our website if you want to join in on Sunday.

Please be cautious in deciding whether to participate via livestream or in person on Saturday. Road conditions may be hazardous even on Saturday morning.

The Lord bless you and keep you,

Pastor Colin

Dear Family,

What seemed a very difficult decision to make at the time turned out to be a no-brainer. At 4:15PM today I thought a smallish thunderstorm might pass quickly and leave a window in the weather for us to hold the Runner’s Camp track meet. I left the church as the rain started and planned to pick up a few items at home on the way to open the stadium. 10 minutes later I missed the turn onto Hillsdale Rd. because it was raining so hard I couldn’t see it. By 4:45 I was starting to get messages from volunteers who were having to turn around on the way to the stadium because of flooded roads. It became clear that I needed to cancel the track meet. As it turned out, I wouldn’t have gotten there anyway because our neighborhood roads were impassable from the flooding for over an hour.

I hated making the decision to cancel. The track meet is always a highlight and provides a great way to close out camp. It was still a great week. As always, I was so pleased by the service of our volunteer team. Thank you for your hard work and your great attitudes.

However, we still have a fair amount of equipment at Central Stadium that needs to be hauled back to the church and put away. If you can help, please meet at Central at 10 AM Saturday morning.

I am so grateful to God for all of you,

Pastor Colin

Dear Family,

As some of you have probably noticed, we have been having difficulty streaming our worship service through Facebook live. Going forward, we will be streaming directly from our website. Just click on the “Livestream” button on our main page at service time and you should be able to join us online when you are unable to be with us in person.

See you tomorrow,

Pastor Colin

Ladies, this Monday, January 23rd, the women of Family Bible Church will be meeting at the Evansville Rescue Mission at 11:15 am to serve lunch from 11:30-12:30 PM. Afterward, they will eat lunch together at Comfort downtown. Please contact Nancy Islam or Brenda Kerr with questions and/or to let them know that you are planning to attend.

See you Sunday,

Pastor Colin

Dear Family,

As a reminder, we have a members meeting tomorrow immediately following our service to consider approval for construction of the next phase of our building. I hope you will be able to join us.

See you tomorrow,

Pastor Colin

Dear Family,

The weeds in our landscaping along the front of our building have gotten out of control. Our lawn care contract does not cover such maintenance and so it is up to us to keep it looking good. I am launching an assault on the weeds this Saturday morning at 8 AM while the building will provide shade for a couple of hours. If any of you can come and help, I would appreciate it, and you will experience the therapeutic joy of feeling the rascals come away.

Thank you!

Pastor Colin

Dear Family,

FBC will meet for worship as scheduled this morning, 1/20 (Sunday School at 9:30, worship service at 10:30). Please use discretion in driving this morning. Hwy 41 has been plowed, but remains slippery at spots. Our parking lot has been cleared and salted but is still slippery so please be careful when getting out of your cars.

Hope to see you this morning but I promise not to judge you if you stay home!

Pastor Colin

Dear Family,

As of 8:15 PM Saturday there are no plans to cancel our worship service or Sunday School tomorrow morning. I will be there early in the morning and will post again at 7:00 AM to confirm, but there are currently no plans to cancel. By all means use your own discretion in venturing out and please be careful.

If the Lord wills I hope to see you tomorrow,

Pastor Colin

Dear Family,

FBC’s parking lot has been cleared and we will meet for Sunday School and worship tomorrow as scheduled. Please use your best judgment on road conditions in your neighborhood and drive carefully.

See you tomorrow,

Pastor Colin
