🙏 40 Days of Prayer 🙏
Mark your calendars! 📅
Beginning August 26, we’ll be joining together for 40 Days of Prayer leading up to Legacy of Faith Commitment Sunday – October 5.

💌 What Could 100 Families Do Together? 💌
Would you believe… if just 100 families pledged weekly gifts, we could raise $11,500 each week?
That’s nearly $600,000 in one year! 🙌

Here’s how it adds up:
2 donors @ $1,000 = $2,000
3 donors @ $500 = $1,500
20 donors @ $250 = $5,000
25 donors @ $100 = $2,500
50 donors @ $10 = $500

Total: $11,500 each week!

Please prayerfully consider what sacrifice your family can make as we approach Commitment Sunday, October 5th. ❤️

👧👦 Did You Know?
For every child who comes through FBC from Kindergarten–12th grade:

That’s 13 years

52 Sundays each year

At 90% attendance = 608 hours of Sunday School 💡

That’s 608 hours that we have been given to share Christ with children and youth and partner with their parents to provide a Christ-centered, nurturing home. And, that’s not counting worship services they attend.

The pr***en and teenage years are crucial for a child's faith development, particularly regarding belief in Christ. This is when they begin to form their own worldview, establish a personal connection with faith, and solidify their understanding of core Christian beliefs.

💌 Pledges & Gifts

💡 “Why should I make a pledge?”
By making a written commitment, you help the church develop a financial plan to carry out the Legacy of Faith projects. ✨

✅ Writing your gift on a pledge card:

Strengthens your personal commitment

Helps you plan your giving

Enables the church to plan wisely for the future

This principle comes straight from our FBC Vision ’95 campaign—and it’s just as true today! 🙌

📊 Did you know? Small, consistent gifts add up in BIG ways:

In the Vision ’95 campaign, monthly pledges turned into major impact for ministry and facilities.

The same will happen through Legacy of Faith as we come together in generosity! ❤️

Every gift matters. Every pledge helps us build a foundation for future generations at FBC. 💒

📲 You can now set up recurring gifts online (specifically for the Legacy of Faith Fund) by scanning the QR code below! 🙌
