Kings & Kingdoms Sermon Series
Daniel and Revelation tell the story of a King and His Kingdom. Throughout 2022 we will be studying these books to learn God's message to His people as they sought to live for God and not the world's kingdoms. Together, we will learn these same lessons as we await the second coming of our King.

Baby Bottle Campaign
FBCZ will be participating in the Baby Bottle Campaign put on by Positive Options/Lakeshore Pregnancy Center. Bottles can be picked up in the Narthex. Bottles are to be filled with money and returned between next Sunday and February 20th to tables located in the Narthex. Last year about $2,000 was given to Positive Options.
Wednesday Night Dinners
Back by popular demand! Yes, we are having Wednesday night dinners. On Wednesday nights at 5:30p dinner is served in the gym. Parents are responsible for their children during this time. Check out our FBC Family FB Group for updates and details. (Dinners will be each week through March 23rd). Suggested donation: $2 per person or $10 per family.
Journey through the Bible
One of the critical foundations of following Jesus is reading the Bible. We want to invite you to journey through the Bible with us in 2022. This isn't about "finishing in 1 year" (although that is our plan as we read 3-5 chapters each day). It is about growing in our relationship with God Himself together as a church.
We are going to be using a Bible reading plan hosted on the YouVersion app that incorporates devotionals from the Bible Project, for those wanting more background to the Text. We know that many prefer to not use technology for reading so we will also have paper copies of the reading schedule.
Each month we will be having a Bible Journey Recap. This is a monthly gathering for us to remember what we have read, ask questions, and apply the Bible to our everyday lives.
Join us in YouVersion by joining the plan under Jeremy Cobb (you’ll see my picture from Lebanon). Or, pick up a Bible Journey Reading Plan at the Welcome Center this weekend.
Baptismal Service
A baptismal service is scheduled for Sunday, January 30. If you have put your faith in Jesus Christ but have never pictured your union with Him in His death, burial and resurrection in this way, you can indicate your interest by writing “baptism” on a Check In Card or by calling the church office at 616-772-4377.
