Special Business Meeting & Building Vote Sunday Night

6:00 PM in Rushing Hall

We've called a Special Business Meeting for Sunday, April 3rd, at 6:00 PM in Rushing Hall, where we will consider and vote upon the design phase of our building project and the Goff Companies proposal. Afterward we’ll have a Town Hall to discuss shifting to an elder-led leadership model.

Serving With the Church


God has equipped each of us for a purpose.

The people of God participate with purpose. Growing believers use their spiritual gifts to humbly invest in others’ lives. God has given each of us a different S.H.A.P.E. (Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personalities, and Experiences) to faithfully/generously serve with excellence.

Scripture tells us that although we have different roles, together we make up the body of Christ. We serve the church as we serve God. We believe in the priesthood of the believer, making every member a minister. God blesses you with time, talents, and treasures to be shared with others. You are blessed to be a blessing!

We envision a committed church family fully utilizing their S.H.A.P.E. to serve others allowing the light of Christ to shine brightly through us.

Check out our Serve > Church webpage for a Spiritual Gifts Assessment, S.H.A.P.E. Test, and a list of some FBCNB ministry opportunities.

PALM SUNDAY SPECIAL WORSHIP

APRIL 10

5:00 PM  |  Sanctuary

Make plans now to join us Palm Sunday evening for a special worship service. We’ll reflect on Jesus’ last week before His crucifixion and observe the Lord’s Supper to commemorate His substitutionary death and anticipate His coming again. We’ll sing, worship, and experience a powerful time together.

 

EASTER SUNDAY SCHEDULE

APRIL 17

9:00 & 11:00 AM  |  Sanctuary

As you invite friends and family to join us Easter Sunday, April 17, our schedule will be a little different. We will not have any small groups that morning, and worship will be at 11:00, and at 9:00 instead of 9:30.

 

FAMILY BIBLE STUDY

STARTS APRIL 24

Sunday Nights  |  Gym

Men, women, and children* of all ages, gather for a potluck dinner in the Gym at 5:00 PM. (Please use the CLC entrance.) At 6:00, guys and gals will split off into separate study groups*. We'll all start in the book of Acts. Women are encouraged to bring their daughters, and men are encouraged to bring their sons. No matter your age or stage of life, come fellowship and pore over the Word of God together, where young men and women are encouraged and discipled by their elders.

Dinner will be a potluck, so we ask that everyone planning to eat also brings a dish to share. For ideas on what to bring, feel free to contact:

Donate Hygiene Items for Operation Christmas Child

Our April donation suggestions for Operation Christmas Child are hygiene items and hair accessories. It is our goal to be able to provide every child's shoebox with everything on the hygiene list*:
  • Soft headed toothbrush (small or large)
  • Toothbrush case/cover for cleanliness
  • Hairbrush and/or sturdy comb
  • Regular size bar of soap, or 2 hotel size bars
  • Good quality washcloth
  • Nail clippers or manicure set (older kids)
Check out Dollar Tree especially for bars of soap, toothbrush cases/covers, and hairbrushes. Check out Ross, TJ Max, Walmart, HEB, and Target for bundles of washcloths and other items. You can even order items in bulk online. Visit the display in the foyer for samples and more information. Collection bins are available in the foyer, Rushing Hall, and classrooms.
