WORSHIP CENTER DEDICATION: Sunday, April 28, will be a historic day in our church family. We’ll dedicate our renovated worship center, celebrate God’s faithfulness in the past, and catch a vision for the future God has planned for our church family. We’ll gather for an extended time of worship at 9:30 and enjoy an open house and reception around 11:00. Community Groups for adults and kids won’t meet on this Sunday, but preschool worship care will be provided.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR RECOGNITION:  On Sunday, May 5, we’ll congratulate and commission our high school seniors as they begin a new season in their lives.

TRIVIA NIGHT: It’s an FBCLS Family factoid-fueled feud! Sharpen your trivia skills and gather your team of 8 to join us to support your Student Ministry Summer Mission Trip to Arlington, TX. Tables of 8 people are $100, or you can register individually for $20 each. Concessions will be available, and we’ll provide plenty of other ways to contribute. Check out our Trivia Night page for more information and to register your team!

FAMILY DEDICATION SERVICE: On Sunday, May 12, we’ll recognize and dedicate families of all sizes and shapes! If you have a new addition to your family, or if you’ve never experienced our family dedication service before, fill out a Next Steps card and write “Family Dedication” in the comments section.

MEMORIAL SERVICE: Our Sunday worship on May 19 will include a time to remember those in our church family who have passed away since last May. To make sure we don’t overlook honoring your loved one, write their name and “Memorial” in the comments section of a Next Steps card.
