The ministry tables will be in the breezeway outside following the service.  If anyone has wondered where they might fit as they get more involved at FBC, this Ministry Fair will highlight the areas in need of volunteers.  Each table will have a coordinator who can share details about what is involved in their ministry, how often people serve, what the time commitment looks like and what prior experience would be helpful.  Not only does serving one another fulfill one of God’s purposes for the local church, it provides a place for relationships to grow.

We are so grateful for the people who are actively serving at FBC.  You are a blessing to us all!  We want this Ministry Fair to provide an opportunity to express gratitude to the Lord for all that He has enabled and equipped us to do for His Kingdom and His glory!
