Posts and Events

With it being Thanksgiving weekend, we will not have Sunday school. We will resume Sunday school on December 5th.

Hope you all are enjoying the holiday weekend and time with family!

On Wednesday December 8th, the women’s ministry will get together in fellowship for a Christmas cookie exchange.

Family,

We are looking forward to a full day of fellowship on Sunday (11/14). The members meeting will take place immediately after the 10:30am church service and the barn dance will begin at 5pm.

Given the additional events that day, we will take a week off from the normal 9:30 Sunday school hour. People are welcome to still come to the church at 9:30 to help set up the room for the barn dance that evening.

Sunday school will resume the following week on 11/21.

God bless,

John

Here is what you need to know about the upcoming Family Bible Church Barn Dance and also a way we can support the Rescue Mission’s Gobbler Gathering by collecting canned peas.

First, the barn dance. It will be on November 14th at the church building starting with food at 5pm. Square dancing will follow around 6pm. We have an official square dance caller coming to direct the dancing, so be sure to dress the part and find yourself a partner! The dancing and food will be inside. A hay ride and a fire will be outside.

The men’s ministry has an opportunity to serve the rest of the family by men bringing their best chili/soup. There will even be a competition for the best one. Whoever plans on bringing a chili/soup needs to let either Ken Hansen or Keith Findley know so that an accurate amount of food is provided. Please contact us if you need to get in touch with them but do not have their contact info.

Everyone please bring your own drinks and a side or dessert to share.

Now, the canned peas. The Evansville Rescue Mission has served those in need by supplying a Thanksgiving meal each year. We can take part in serving by collecting canned peas for the distribution.

We need to collect 500 cans of peas as a church! Bring your cans to the church building by November 16.

See you all soon,

John

Dear Friends,

I am writing to inform those of you who are members at Family Bible Church that our elders have decided to postpone our upcoming Members Meeting by one week to allow our church family to support one of our own at a funeral. Our annual meeting will now be held on November 14th, immediately following our morning worship service. I apologize to any of you who will be unable to accommodate this schedule change, but we felt it was the right thing to do.

We will be presenting our annual budget for your approval, hearing a few brief reports on the state of our ministry, and presenting plans to expand our building to include additional classrooms, offices and storage space. I hope you will join us to consider these important matters, especially since your vote, in person, is needed to approve our budget for the coming year.

Business thus concluded, we will gather again later that evening for fun at our Barn Dance at 5 PM. John Grimm will send out a post with more details about that later.

Please help us get the word out about our Members Meeting schedule change by forwarding this email to those you know who might not be subscribed to our website.

See you Sunday,

Pastor Colin

Come join Family Bible Church for an evening of fun, fellowship and Corn Hole on Sunday, Sept 19th. 

FBC Men’s Ministry will be grilling burgers and dogs for everyone.  We ask that every family bring their own drinks and a side dish to share.  

Food will be served at 5:30 and Tournament will start shortly after.

Please text your 2 person Corn Hole team to Matt Lovell @ 812.598.9964.  There will also be a sign-up sheet at church this Sunday.  

Families with kids…you’re in luck…There will be an inflatable that night too so feel free to bring your kiddos.

Weather permitting, tournament will be played outside.

September 15th marks the first day of the upcoming women’s Bible study at Family Bible Church. View this flyer with all information about the study. Hard copies of the flyers are also available in the church building.

Do not worry if you would like to participate and have yet to sign up. There is still time, but don’t wait! The first week requires no preparation since it is video only. Friends are welcome to join.

Sunday school at FBC resumes in just over a week! Beginning September 12, we will offer a few different classes divided by age. Each class begins at 9:30 on Sunday mornings. The church service will remain at 10:30am.

Here is a little preview of the class divisions and the content for each. The K-3rd grade class will learn about who God is and what it means to have a relationship with Him through a series called “Foundations of Faith.” The 4-8th grade class will learn how to read God’s Word by studying Job and Ecclesiastes. The High School class will follow along with the sermon series through Romans.

The adult class will read the book Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. Books are provided. We also will have volunteers in the nursery during the Sunday school hour for any kids below Kindergarten.

See you Sunday!

John

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
