Hello all,

This is a reminder that Daylight Savings Time goes into effect tonight. We will “fall back” on time so enjoy an extra hour of sleep tonight. We will see you at 9:00 am for Sunday School and 10:00 am for our worship service.

Over the past couple of weeks, you all have heard about our diaper drive. We are collecting for Trotter House, which is a ministry that is a pregnancy resource center for all mothers during their pregnancy and also after having the child. They help in a variety of ways but the Gospel is at the core of all that they do.

If you are interested in donating diapers, please bring them either this Sunday or next. Sunday, November 8th, will be the final Sunday to drop them off. They will be happy to accept all sizes of diapers but have said that the older sizes go faster and are donated less often. I have attached a few links for size 5 diapers through Amazon if you like: a $6 option, a $25 option, and a $42 option.

We are excited about our corn hole tournament this Sunday, October 25. Fun will be had by all. We will be having hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner. As always, if your last name begins with an A-M, please bring a side; if your last name starts with a N-Z, please bring a dessert.

Dinner and the corn hole tournament will both begin at 5:00 pm. Matt Lovell is hosting the tournament for us. It would be a great help to him to know in advance what the two-person teams are. If at all possible, please text him your team. His number is 812.598.9964.

What to bring for your family:

1. Your side/dessert.
2. Drinks for your family.
3. Weather-appropriate clothing. We will be doing the cornhole outside.
4. Chairs to sit in the parking lot.

We are looking forward to it and hope you are as well. We will see you on Sunday morning and Sunday evening.

Hello all,

This is your reminder that the ladies are gathering for a night of fun. This Thursday, October 22, the women are having an origami and tea/coffee party. They are meeting at 6:00 pm in the cafe at the church. The only thing they are asking you to bring is your favorite mug.

Please contact Ginger Casaleggi if you have any questions. Her number is 812-746-4629.

It is time again for our ice cream social. Games, food, pool, time with church family, and, of course, ice cream. Who could pass that up? We will be having fried chicken. We are asking for everyone to bring a side item since we will already have ice cream for dessert.

Everyone is invited to bring their homemade ice cream. We will all vote for which one we like the best and there will be a prize for the winner.

We will meet at 5:00 at Dan and Ellen Grimm’s house. Their address is 14241 Petersburg Road but sometimes GPS takes you somewhere else. Their driveway is southeast of the intersection of Petersburg Road and Cemetery Road. There are three mailboxes at the entrance of the driveway and it has fencing on both sides. Once you pull into their driveway, go all the way back to their house. If you get lost, you can call me (812-455-6112).

What to bring:
1. Your side item.
2. Homemade ice cream (if you are making it).
3. drinks for your family.
4. Chairs for your family (there will be some but not enough for everyone)

We are excited about spending time with our church family and hope you are as well.

Hello all,

We are having a church dinner this Sunday, August 30, starting at 5:00. We will also have the pickleball nets set up in the parking lot so come ready to play if you would like. I am sure there are some of you that would rather sit on a cactus than play pickleball. If that is you, we hope you still come to eat dinner and spend time with your church family. If you would like to bring something for dinner, please contact Brent Griffin (812-455-6112).

What should you bring? All you should need are drinks for your family (we will have water set out). The weather looks nice so many of us will bring camp chairs and sit in the parking lot. Lastly, bring any pickleball paddles or balls if you would like to play.

As many of you know, we try to have these events once a month as a chance for you all to spend time together, to meet new people and grow in your friendships with others. We hope to see you on Sunday morning for Sunday School and worship and Sunday night for fellowship.

Hello all,

We wanted to remind you to two things that are happening this Sunday (August 9th):

1. We are participating in a day of prayer for the EVSC schools and we were asked to prayer for North High School specifically. We will meet at the front doors of the school this Sunday at 2:00. I will have points for everyone to pray for. I am excited about this opportunity and look forward to doing it with you.

2. Sunday School is starting this Sunday. Family Bible Church has always considered itself a teaching
church and Sunday School is a huge part of that. We have worked hard for it to be a good year for
Sunday School and hope you see it as important and as valuable as we do. We trust you and your family
will grow in your faith in the Lord if you come. It is also a great way to meet other people. Sunday
School will begin at 9:00 am.

We were recently contacted by Hands of Hope, which is an organization that supports foster families and tries to partner with churches to assist those foster families that need help. Hands of Hope asked us to donate fire extinguishers to them so they can give them to those who need them. Many of you are aware that there are many things people need to do to be licensed foster parents and one of those things is having a fire extinguisher, maybe even several of them. That can certainly get expensive, which is where we come in.

I have done some research and have a couple options of ones that you can buy. Click here for a single fire extinguisher or you can click here for a 2 pack. Feel free to shop around but there is a specific kind that they need and they are a “2.5 lb ABC fire extinguisher.” Please bring them to the church by August 23 and we will deliver them to Hands of Hope.

There are many in our church who know the blessing and challenge of being foster parents so feel free to ask any of them what an encouragement it can be to be supported in this way.

Hello all,

We are having a lunch after service on Sunday. We are having pork butt with all the fixins. If your last name begins with an A-M, we are asking you to bring a side, and if your last name begins with an N-Z please bring a dessert.

Normally, the opportunity to be with church family is more than enough reason for many of you to be there but this Sunday we have more reasons. We are having a few children baptized during our service so the lunch provides a great chance for you all to talk and rejoice with them in what God has done in their lives. Secondly, we will be giving brief “commercials” for our Sunday School classes and telling you all what classes will be offered and what they will be teaching. We will do this in the hope that many of you will decide that Sunday School is worth your time.

We look forward to spending time with you all worshipping our Lord together and then breaking bread together on Sunday.

The church canoe trip is planned for July 25. We will meet at the church at 8:00 am and back somewhere around 4:00 pm. This is always a fun event. We will race, steal each others paddles, eat lunch, splash around, swim a bit, and have a great time together.

The price to rent a canoe (for 2 people) is $50. There are also options to rent a kayak or bring your own. You can also rent seat cushions and seat backs.

We need to know if you are coming, by Wednesday, July 22. Please let me know either by email (brentpgriffin1984@gmail.com) or by text (812-455-6112).  Feel free to call if you have any questions.
