ANNOUNCEMENTS

It's time to spread the joy of Christmas to children all over the world! We are joining forces with Downers Grove Christian School to pack as many shoeboxes as possible for Operation Christmas Child!

 

Take as many shoeboxes as you'd like, pack, and bring back by to FBC/DGCS the week of November 17. DGCS will deliver all shoeboxes to a local drop-off site.


We’d love for your kids to join us on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM! 

 

It’s a fun time midweek where kids and students can make friends, play games, and learn more about Jesus in a way that’s made just for them.

 

Interested in serving on Wednesday nights? Contact the Church Office for current opportunities!


We’re looking for loving volunteers to help with childcare on Wednesdays from 9-11 AM so that moms can attend our Women's Grow Group and connect in community.

 

This is a simple but meaningful way to serve our church family and be a blessing to others. Even if you’re available once or twice a month, your help would make a big difference!

 

Interested? Contact the Church Office.
