SUMMARY:Soup & A Story
DESCRIPTION:SOUP & A STORY – Friday September 20 – 6:00-8:00pm  You can sign up to host women for a meal or simply attend.\nYour hostess will provide soup as you gather around the table with other women from FBC to share stories and fellowship.  Here are three story-starter questions we’re asking people to consider:\n\nWhen has a step of faith resulted in something amazing happening?\nWhat is the most heartwarming act of kindness you have seen or been a part of recently? How did it impact the person receiving it?\nWhat is something funny that happened to you at church or a church event that brings a smile or laughter to you even now?\n\nWe want to get to know one another better and share our lives as we grow in our walk with Jesus.  There is no pressure or expectation that you have to share anything.  You can enjoy others’ stories.  We just want to honor Him in all we say and do and be thankful His presence will be with us.\n\nSign Me Up

SUMMARY:Stations of the Cross
DESCRIPTION:On Good Friday evening of Easter weekend\, we will have a profound evening of worship as we take a walk with Christ through the “Stations of the Cross.” Scripture\, worship\, and tangible remembrances along the way culminate in the sealing of the tomb as we extinguish candles and leave the church in darkness and silence. Of course\, this only heightens the anticipation and appreciation of Jesus’ glorious resurrection we will celebrate together on Easter Sunday morning!
