What a wonderful Sweetheart Banquet we had this year! We had a great crowd, beautiful decorations, superb entertainment, delicious food and so much fun. It takes so many volunteers each year to prepare everything, but it is all worth it when we see the smiles and happy faces. This year Gary Rigomonti was gracious enough to cook our tender and flavorful pulled pork and sausage. The side dishes and desserts were prepared by FBC’s wonderful cooks and volunteers from the POC Community Service Club. What a blessing all these wonderful people are. A “Thank You” is not enough to say, but God’s blessings on everyone for the hours spent on this project. We don’t try to make a profit from our banquet, but it is a way to bring the community together. This year we also delivered about 20 meals to shut ins and ill in POC. Mark your calendars for the Thursday before Valentines Day, 2024, don’t want to miss next year’s banquet. We’ll be looking for you!

We have Team Kids and Youth activities every Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 pm. Dinner is served to all; they have Bible study, crafts and other activities each night. This year many of our youth served as waiters and waitresses for our banquet. What a wonderful job they did! We had so many compliments about them. God bless everyone of them
Every Tuesday we have Bible study for women at 4:00 and men at 8;00. These are held in our Fellowship Hall next to the church. Anyone is welcome to join us.

We have our ongoing ministries that we’re support all year long. The Community Food Bank for the people of POC. Hard times come to us all. You can donate to this project by bringing non perishable food items or money to FBC or Fisherman’s Chapel. We also collect items all year for the Samaritan’s Purse Shoe Boxes. Any small toy, washcloths, bar soap, T-shirts, hair bows, school supplies, etc., can be used to fill the boxes to be sent around the world. Both of these projects are important as outreach tools. Please consider supporting one of them.

We are waiting to welcome you to any of our services or activities. Come join us whenever you can. We have Sunday school and church at 10:00 and 11:00 on Sunday morning. Tuesday is Bible study and Wednesday is Team kids and Youth activities . Our doors are open and the lights are on.
