Please note that every person eating Wednesday night supper must check-in with our volunteer collection team before getting their meal. Even if you have pre-paid online, please check-in with our volunteer. We recognize that many of you do this every week, but many do not. This is just an attempt to streamline our process and make sure every person is checked off the reservation list. A volunteer will be stationed in the Lewis Lobby with the Wednesday night supper reservation list. You may reserve your spot at this link on the website or by calling the church office. The volunteer will check-in your family and collect payment for the meal – we accept cash, checks, or credit cards.

Ages 0-3: Free

Ages 4-12: $4

Adults (over 12): $8

Family cap (over 3 people): $24

You’re invited to join Theology on Tap for their March gathering at Clouds Brewing (126 N. West Street) on Thursday, March 21, at 6pm.

Join in for discussion, connection, and a good beverage!

If you stepped into our fellowship hall this past Sunday, you would have thought you were in a lovely tea room: floral centerpieces graced each table; beautiful music set the tone, thanks to Maureen Howell on piano and Charlotte Phillips on flute; and a variety of delectable finger foods filled the buffet table. It was none other than the day of the GA Mother/Daughter Tea!

Our GAs began the program by inviting us all to join them in the recitation of their GA pledge, motto, and scripture verse. Special guests were welcomed, including mothers, FBC Buddies, grandmothers of our fifth graders, and Nancy’s special guests who represent women in missions right here within our church. Each class of GAs received their sashes, and our two fifth graders, Remi Phillips, and Eleanor Gardner, were each presented with a long-stemmed red rose. This was a small token of how much they are valued as student leaders and an acknowledgment of how much we’re going to miss them when they move up to the youth group next year! Each girl’s “ticket” into the Tea was an individual mission project, now displayed on the walls of the fellowship hall, so come read the walls and see the mission interests represented there!

For the week of March 10–15, CBF churches across the globe are encouraged to join in a week of prayer for the offering for Global Missions. Each day this week, there is a guided prayer prompt that can be found on CBF’s website for ways to pray for the work that field personnel are doing across the globe. Join us in praying for the transformational work that is happening through CBF Global Missions.

Today’s prayer prompt: Equipping and cultivating beloved community

Equipping with every good thing includes experiencing beloved community. Everyone is equipped by the God of peace as they cultivate relationships. Field personnel experience and cultivate community as they are present in their places of service because of the Offering for Global Missions.

 

For centuries, communities of faith have marked the Lenten season with the practice of Stations of the Cross. The traditional model presents a series of fourteen images depicting Jesus on the day of his crucifixion with accompanying prayers. Beginning March 18, we invite you to take a walk down our block of Edenton Street to experience the Stations of the Resurrection by artist Scott Erikson. This art show will be showcased on the side of our building until the Monday after Easter. We hope these images speak to our community, telling the story of the resurrection in a new and fresh way. All posters contain QR codes that link to meditations for further reflection during the days leading up to Easter. Scott writes, “What does it mean to practice Resurrection while we’re here? This art show is an invitation into a whole new way of seeing.”

Don’t forget to move your clocks ahead one hour this Saturday night, March 9!

The following items are urgently needed in the Clothing Ministry:

You may bring your donations to the donation bin by the parking lot doors any time the church is open! We are grateful for your continued support of this vital ministry in our community.
