You may have heard that Earl is preparing to retire at the end of the year.  We want to honor God’s faithfulness to us as a congregation and the 45 years Earl has ministered here at FBC with an evening of celebration.

WHEN: Sunday, November 20, 6:30-8:00pm
WHERE: Fellowship Bible Church
WHAT: Celebration with hors d'oeuvres and dessert

While Earl does know that we are planning this event, he does not know the particulars.  Please help us keep these things a surprise!

- We would like to gift Earl and Diana with a monetary gift that they could potentially use to take a trip.  If you would like to contribute, you can choose the “Love Offering for Earl” option in the ONLINE GIVING, or designate your in-person cash or check as a love offering for Earl.

- We would also like to encourage Earl with some written messages.  If you have a favorite Earl-ism, memory, or way that Earl has encouraged or ministered to you, please fill out this FORM by (Nov 20).  Earl’s daughter Christina will be compiling all your messages into a keepsake book.

- We would also love some photos to include in a slide show!  Please email any photos to Laura Nyhuis.

- Finally, you may have been one of the many people who have been encouraged by Earl’s Rusty Bike story. We have designed a Rusty Bike Club t-shirt that we will be presenting to Earl at the celebration.  If you would like to order a shirt for yourself, you can do so when you RSVP for the event.  (If you can’t come, but would still like to get a shirt, you can do that as well through the RSVP.)

DEADLINE FOR ORDERING SHIRTS IS NOVEMBER 9th AT NOON!

Please RSVP by registering here; childcare is provided for children under age 5.

If you would like to help out with the preparations for the celebration, please let Sheri Pedersen know.
