Happy Birthday to everyone at FBC! Today we had a joyous time together as we celebrated! A big thanks to our deacons who decorated, provided our meal, and served us. We were so blessed to be surprised by our friends and former pastor, Mike and Luann Lee, who traveled to be with us. We are all indeed thankful to be a part of this beautiful church family!

FBC partnered with Lane Memorial UMC for an amazing Vacation Bible School this week. The theme, Galaxy: Launching Kids on a Mission of God's Love, was out of this world!
Kids crafted jetpacks to travel between stations and created colorful galaxy lights to shine God's love wherever they go. A special highlight was Gizmo the robot - built by Michael - who shared the nightly message in a fun and memorable way!
So thankful for everyone who made this time together such a success!
