Save the date!! Thursday, February 10, 2022, at 6:00 pm, is the evening FBC will be celebrating the 25th Sweetheart Banquet. The event originally started as a small gathering for FBC members. Over the next few years, it outgrew the church Fellowship Hall, started including anyone who wanted to come and was moved to the Community Center. Many people have celebrated Valentine’s Day, dined on great food and been entertained at those banquets. This 25th banquet will carry  on those traditions. Come join us for this special evening. For tickets, you can call the church at 983-2727 or visit First National Bank in POC.

Team Kids is continuing to be a big draw for POC children. Every Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., over 20 children meet at FBC to have dinner, sing, do crafts and, most importantly, learn about Jesus. Our church van picks up a full load of children each week. If you have a child, pre-K through 5th grade, that would like to be part of Team Kids, call FBC to arrange for pick up.

The POC Food Pantry continues to have a need for donations of non perishable food or cash. FBC helps with collections and Fisherman’s Chapel distributes the donations as needed. Pray about supporting this worthy cause. These trying times have caused hardships for so many.

We are also already starting to collect items for this year’s Shoe Box Project. In November, 2021, we were able to deliver 200 filled boxes to be sent around the world as Christmas blessings. Thank you to everyone who donated last year. Now it’s time to start again! Small toys, school supplies, soap, wash rags, small books, etc. are some of the items we are already collecting. Our goal this year is 250 boxes! We can do it!

Pastor Phillip Miller and the friendly people at FBC are waiting to welcome you to any or all of our weekly services and events. Come join us.
