Wednesday’s TEAM KIDS enjoying their dinner.
The hummingbirds are visiting. School is almost out. It’s almost summertime in Port O’Connor!!! People are beginning to fill up the town. POC FBC is ready for visitors. Come join us for any of our weekly activities and services. They are listed at the end of the article.
Lots of work has been going on at FBC. Under the direction of Mary Nell McGee, the head of our Building and Grounds Committee and all those who serve with her, the nursery and preschool area have been completely renovated with new doors, new lighting, paint and flooring. We also now have new front doors into our sanctuary. Our audio/visual equipment now has its own room. Our pastor’s name is on our outdoor sign. Several classrooms have had mini splits installed to help with heating and cooling. All of these updates have taken many months and lots of hard work, but the end is in site! Everything is sparkling! Come check everything out.
Easter Sunrise Service is Sunday, April 17, 7:00 a.m., at Kingfisher Beach. Join hundreds of others who come each year to watch the sun come up over the bay and worship together. This year, Brother Erny McDonough will be bringing the message, the FBC choir will sing, and FBC Pastor Phillip Miller, will be opening the service with prayer. Afterwards, there will be coffee and (perhaps) cinnamon rolls for everyone. This is a wonderful way to start Easter Sunday. All the area churches will be holding their regular Sunday morning services later on as usual.
FBC Easter Egg Hunt is the day before Easter at 2:00 p.m. Toddlers through those just finishing 5th grade are welcome to participate. Bring a basket and be prepared to fill it up! If you find a golden egg, you win a wonderful prize. Afterwards, popcorn, cookies and drinks will be served. Be sure and be there to join in the fun. Grandpas and grandmas are welcome.
Shoe Box items are collected all year. This wonderful project is part of Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse Ministries and FBC supports it in a BIG way. Last year we filled 200 boxes that were sent all around the world and we hope to surpass that this year. If you would like to be a part of this, donate small, useful items and toys that will fit in a shoebox. Suggestions include school supplies, washcloths, bar soap, toothbrushes, T-shirts, socks, hair ribbons, etc. No liquids or gels, please. Thank you.
Food Pantry items are also needed and collected all year. Any nonperishable goods are accepted. FBC collects these items and delivers them to Fisherman’s Chapel. They distribute them to qualified individuals. Please continue to contribute to this important ministry, which supports the needy in our own community.
VBS is just around the corner – June 6-9, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Pre-K through 5th grade are invited. If you know of children in this age group, sign them up. It can be done on FACEBOOK starting next month or you can call the church at 361-983-2727. Every year, over 100 people (teachers, aides, kitchen ladies) and children participate in this FUN event which includes Bible study, crafts, snacks, music, exercise and much, much more. Register your children. Don’t let them miss it!
