Notebooks or Mugs ?

Hey mission team, FRBCA members and blog visitors, I need your opinion! Take a look at the fundraising merchandise items bellow and take the poll located at the top right of the blog. They have our mission theme verse imprinted on them. It will give me a better idea on deciding what to order for the lunch on May 15. If you want to see more merchandise go to the discountmugs website. Thanks for your participation!




The notebooks will make a nice present for the kids to give them at the camp if we don't sell all of them at the lunch.

Mission 2011 Fundraising Lunch - May 15

On Sunday, May 15 will have a fundraising lunch at FRBCA for this summer's mission to Romania. Please pray for this event and be available on that day to volunteer to help.

BASIC | Bible Study this Thursday

This Thursday at 7 pm in the Puggles' Room we are starting the BASIC series by Francis Chan. We will start with the second one FOLLOW JESUS.

Chan answers in a simple, radical way questions like "What does it really mean to be a Christian? To really follow Jesus? What is the church really supposed to look like and what should it be doing?" We'll watch the short video, discuss and meditate on the verses presented and answer questions about what it really means to follow Him, in our daily lives. There are 7 videos/studies in this series and we can keep going as far as we can before we take off to Romania. These videos are visually exquisite, intellectually stimulating and theologically solid.

We'll supplement the study with practical ways to 'be fisher of men' from the LYNTYS Study of T. Bush. This extra material is the connection to how to be a good friend/neighbor and show the love of Christ to others. Through the love for God and each other they will know that we are His disciples.

You can invite anyone that you think may be interested in the study to come. They are welcome.

Mission Team Photo

Today we met for prayer and a group photo as one of our mission team members is heading to Romania for riding competitions next Tuesday. The deadline for the mission application is the first week of May as we need to purchase our airplane tickets. We decided to meet on Thursdays for Bible study. The time will be announced.

Car Wash Photos

The car was event was a success today! But success is not entirely a matter of efforts, it's rather more about God’s grace and favor. We raised $1,684. We are in awe of God's greatness and speechless at the way He worked at people's hearts. He deserves all the glory for his faithfulness. The volunteers that came out to help were such a blessing, so were the people that came to have their cars washed. Even the weather was perfect. A big THANK YOU to the volunteers, from the sign holders, to the car washers, to the window cleaners, to the kids and parents, the FRBCA youth rocks for God! A big thank you to the owners of NexTire Good Year on L'ville Suwanee that were kind to let us use their premises and go ahead with the carwash at no cost. Thanks Patti for your encouraging verse this morning (1 Cor. 31:10) and great organizational skills!
