August 23, 2026 for a church wedding shower for Julie Newell. Upstairs at FBC from 2-4pm. More details to follow. Contact Marge Parmenter at 269-365-7366 for questions.

We have several “jobs” that need attention around the church and are looking for volunteers to do them. There are tags on the bulletin board inside the office with more specific details about each job. If you’re able to help, please contact Pastor Jerry or Kim for more information.

Clean Windows
·Job 1: Use Windex to clean the sanctuary windows (inside and outside).
·Job 2: Clean the glass in all the doors and the rear of the Sanctuary.

Weed Flower Beds
·Pick a flower bed area around the building and pull weeds. This is an ongoing job, all summer long, and any one is welcomed to stop by and help anytime.

Sweep and Mop
·Sweep and/or mop the gym floor.
·This job can be divided into sections, and one can do 1/4 of the floor at a time on a rotating basis. Or it’s a great opportunity for a family to do the whole thing together.

Goal: $70,100
In 2010, we began collecting an Annual Oktoberfest Offering to pay our mortgage payment for the next 12 months. We financed $850,000 to build our new addition with the purpose that it be built, not only for use by FBC, but also as a community space. As of November 1, 2026, we will have an approximate balance of $70,100 left on this mortgage. Our goal is to pay it off this year! Start planning how you can help us achieve this goal so we can celebrate this historic milestone.

At this time, we have 8 kids attending Lake Ann Camp this summer. A week of camp costs $600-700. If you would like to support a summer camper, scholarships are now being accepted. Partial scholarships are fine, every dollar helps! Please be sure to mark "Summer Camp" in the memo. Thank you!

We have hearing assistance devices available during the morning worship service which allow the user to control the volume based on their individual needs. They are available from the Sound Booth at the rear of the sanctuary and are cleaned and sanitized after each use. For questions, see Rocky Starland.

Did you know that if your bank offers online services, you can set your tithe up as a regular ‘bill payment’ through your bank? This is a convenient option to help with continuity in giving and the ability for you to tithe even when you are on vacation or miss church. It eliminates having to wonder if you turned in your offering while you were gone! If you have questions or would like more information about how to utilize this convenient option, check with your banking institution or contact the church office.

Don’t forget that your beverage can & bottle donations are used to fund teen scholarships for youth retreats, summer camps, special activities, etc. Please bring your recyclable items to the church anytime!
