If you usually attend at 8:30am, I hope you will enjoy the choir, musicians, and seeing all the children. If you usually attend at 10:30am, I hope you will appreciate worshipping alongside many of this church’s most faithful and spiritually deep members who usually attend the early service. Overall, please know I have a genuine appreciation for our early service; it’s a great way to begin the day for me, too. It’s also an important time of worship, for members and visitors alike, who want/need to worship prior to whatever their day may hold. But this is a strong church with a strong sense of community and I look forward to seeing us all as one body together. See you Sunday, Pastor Tony

Our Dominican Republic mission trip was a tremendous success! We worked with the local

church on a construction project at the church, installed 15 water filters in the community,

did VBS with the kids, and even managed to play baseball with the local children (although we

were no match for them!). It was a wonderful time of service, learning, growth, and praise to

God. My favorite part was the multiple times of worship we shared. Our services included

people from Thailand, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the USA, so it seemed as if we were

living Revelation 7:9, worshipping with folks from “every nation, tribe, people, and language.”

¡Gloria a Dios!

Supporting Ministry Together As of June 24, 2019

From the Preschool Director by Alicia Shell

As I write this, we are three weeks into Camp FBP. I am pleased to announce our summer

enrollment of 63 Lil Fish, and that includes 14 new friends!

Farmer John Bryson joined us for “Down on the Farm Week” and shared his delicious fruits and

vegetables with our children. They enjoyed seeing a giant zucchini and talking about sweet potatoes (or “sweet

pa-too-tees,” as he called them). We celebrated “The Five Senses Week” by learning all about the stomach bug;

not such fun times. This week we got to take a trip to the wonderful world of Disney for “Disney Week” (just

think: all the magic without the long lines or prices)! We also hosted a “Donuts with Dad” event on Friday, June

14th, with donuts and coffee donated by Dunkin’ Donuts. It was precious to see how our Lil Fish were “hooked” on their daddies. We look forward to five more fun-filled weeks of summer with our Lil Fish.

I would like to take a moment to celebrate the success of our first academic year at FBP. We finished the year

with 65 friends. Twenty-two of our Lil Fish officially “graduated” during our Moving Up ceremony on May 24th,

including FBC’s very own Mary Remington Coleman, Lewis Moser, Molly Shell, and Harper Taft. FBP families enjoyed some joyful music as our Lil Fish performed for them. They were then welcomed to a delicious reception,

hosted by the ladies of WOW. My sincere thanks to these women who have “adopted” us this year and been

graciously involved in our special events.

I’d also like to thank each and everyone of you for your continued love, support, and generosity during our first

year. Many of you contributed to the love offering for our teachers which helped us provide them with a delicious lunch, a treat from the ice cream truck, and a $25 gift card for each classroom. These women give tirelessly

every day to our Lil Fish, often at the expense of themselves and their families, and for that we are extremely

appreciative. It has been an honor to serve as the Director of FBP this past year and I look forward to exciting

things to come this fall. Thanks again, and feel free to swim by to visit us Lil Fish, big and small, anytime.

Greetings from Camp FBP!
