VBS Concrete & Cranes Kicks off this Sunday!

VBS Concrete and Cranes kicks off July 19 and runs through July 23, 2020 for ages 4 years old by September 1st through 8th grade, from 6-8:45 p.m. We hope your child(ren), grandchild(ren), any other family members and neighbors will join us. We ask that you pre-register before Sunday at https://fsbcliberal.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/415071.

VBS will kick-off with the musical performed at both the 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. service. Dinner will be served for VBS volunteers and VBS participants at 5 p.m. Then, we will learn how Jesus is our strong foundation. Events will include our penny drive, with funds going to our adopted 2020-2021 school Cottonwood Elementary (come Wednesday Night if you want to be part of the fun), collection of cereal boxes for the food pantry, and Family Night on Thursday, July 23 beginning at 7 p.m. at the church backyard There will be music, games, hotdogs, and sno cones from the Sno Shack.

If you would like to still join the VBS team, we have room for you! We do ask that everyone please pray for our team as they share the Gospel, for energy throughout the week, that everyone stays in good health, to build new relationships, and that children and families come to know Jesus. Here is a list of our team members to pray for: VBS 2020 Crew.

Thank you for your help, support, and prayers. Reach out to Norma Jean Dodge for any questions or to volunteer at children@fsbcliberal.com.

We’re back with 2 Worship Experiences for you to choose from:
9:30am OR 11am!!

One of the great benefits of having multiple worship experiences is that as a church we now have the opportunity to attend a service AND serve during a service. Would you consider praying together as a family about how God would have you plug into a serving opportunity at FSBC? There are phenomenal opportunities to serve with kids, teens, technology, worship, teaching a small group, and much more. If you have questions about when, where, how, etc., to serve, give us a call (620-624-0186) or shoot us an email (church@fsbcliberal.com), we’d LOVE to help you plug into a serving opportunity as we prepare to serve the Church and our community!

Our next quarterly business meeting will be on Sunday, July 26 at 5 PM in the worship center. Anyone is welcome to come, all members are encouraged to attend business meeting.
