Each year, FBC also hosts Christmas Care Fest, a Christmas party for families in We Care’s parenting support program. Through the Caring Tree, church members help make Christmas special for these families by providing gifts for them to receive at the party. This year’s Christmas Care Fest is December 12, 12:30-2:30pm. See below for more information on how you can participate.
