Sunday School

We wanted to remind you that Sunday school is starting this Sunday. Sunday school classes will begin at 9:00 with our service starting at 10:00. As many of you know, we will have classes for every age group so please consider this a priority for your whole family. We trust the Lord will do great things and help us know Him more through our Sunday School classes this year and we strongly encourage you to be part of it.

Dream Center Mentoring

Hello all,

We have announced a couple times about the opportunity to do some mentoring through the Dream Center. This will be an excellent chance to have an impact on a child’s life. They do encourage you to talk about your faith in God with the kids so the difference you make could be an eternal one. They ask that you spend about 4 hours every month with a child so its a fairly low commitment. You can read all the information at the link below.

The Dream Center will provide training for all those interested and we would like to schedule that soon. If you are interested, please let Brent know. His contact info is below.

Walk Through the Bible

We are excited for a special event coming this Fall! On September 22, Walk Through the Bible is coming to Family Bible Church.

Most Christians know many stories of the Old Testament but they are not sure how those stories fit into the larger story.  More importantly, knowing the larger story will teach us wonderful and glorious truths about God and can give us confidence in His promises.  Walk Through the Old Testament will help you step into the story, learn the story and equip you to effectively share it with others. By the end of this powerful and interactive live event, you will learn the key people, places and events of the Old Testament—without taking a single note. And you will have fun doing it!

To learn more, check out this video.

Sunday, September 22, 9:00 AM—2:30 PM.
The first session of the OT LIVE event will take place during our Sunday School hour. Our church service will look very similar except the second session will be during the sermon time.  Then lunch will be provided at the church, after which we will continue our instruction which will wrap up by 2:30.

Cost: $10 per person, $50 maximum cost per family. Registration fee can be paid at Family Bible Church on any Sunday service prior to the event or on September 22. All participants will receive a guidebook. Children elementary age and up are encouraged to participate.

How to register: Let us know you are coming (and how many in your party) on our in the “prayer request or other message” box. Childcare will be provided for kids under elementary age. Please let us know your childcare needs as well. Click here to register. https://familybiblechurch.us/contact-us-2/

Canoe Trip

We are taking a church canoe trip on Saturday, June 22.  We will meet at the church at 8:00 am and drive to Cave Country Canoes in Milltown, IN (its an 1:20 minute from the church and they are on eastern time).  We will get on the river about 11:00, go a ways down, park at a beach for lunch, and then finish the trip.  The canoe trip will take 3-5 hours so we should be back at the church by 5:30.

A canoe is $55 for two people, a kayak is $41 for one person, and if you have your own canoe or kayak it costs $26 for them to haul it for you.  The price will be a little lower if we have a great turn-out.  There are a few additional add-ons if your interested: seat cushions ($3), seat backs ($5), and cooler floats ($15). Life jackets are included in the price if your renting a canoe or kayak. Please have a check made out to the church for the amount for you and your family.  

There are some things you will need to bring:

  1. As I said, we will stop at a beach for lunch so bring everything you will need, if possible in as water-tight of a container as possible.
  2. Any other snacks or drinks you may need.
  3. Sunscreen.
  4. Bug spray.
  5. Water shoes.
  6. Sunglasses and/or a hat.

We need to know if you are coming, and how many canoes, kayaks, etc you will need, by Wednesday, June 19th. 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.
