E-BULLETIN

Happy Sunday everyone! This morning we're continuing our new series Summer in the Psalms, reflecting on the praises and prayers of the Psalms. Go deeper into our series through the Psalms Reading Plan, available on our app.

We love hearing what the Lord is doing in the individual lives of our church family. And we want to hear YOUR story. If you'd like to share God's work in your life, share your story here.

We're thrilled to share a peek into the amazing things God has done at Faith Bible Church through our 2023-2024 Year End Report! In this report, you'll find impressive numbers and statistics, hear reflections from some of our leaders, and discover how Faith Bible ministries have transformed lives within our church family. These wonderful achievements wouldn't have been possible without your generous support. Thank you for another year of faithful giving!

Each month, we are offering opportunities for you and your family to serve locally together. If you choose to volunteer at any of these opportunities please send Tammy Ford an email so we might be praying for you and your family.

This month:

• Christmas in July: Donate a gift card for groceries or gas to bless single-parent families in our church.
• Pray for Sewing With a Mission Camp: Pray for the 22 Campers who will make daily projects to give to various ministries.
• Isaiah117 House: Help children entering foster care by donating essential Items such as pajamas, undergarments, and shoes.

Our Missions Ministry invites everyone to pray for Faith Bible and missions every day at 5:50 in the morning, evening, or both. We hope you'll join us!

This fall at Faith Bible Church we're excited to ask and answer the question, "What R U missing and what is the church missing when U R missing chURch?"

On Sunday August 11, we're inviting everyone who calls Faith Bible Church home, including kids and students, to join us for a six-week series called "UR the Church."

For six weeks, we're asking all ages to commit to the following:

• Attend church each Sunday from August 11 - September 15.
• Download the Faith Bible Church App to access daily devotionals that go along with the series.
• Join a small group to discuss the series.

We're excited to have kids, students, and adults participate in the UR series. As vital members of Faith Bible, we want you to know that ChURch is not the same when UR not here.

Save the date for our 2024 Faith Bible Women's Drawing Near Retreat, October 4-6 at Camp Allen. We'll enjoy a restorative, friendship-building retreat where we will study three Bible stories with dynamic Bible teacher, Kat Armstrong. Christian salvation is about knowing Jesus came to you; however, Christian discipleship is knowing how to come to Jesus over and over throughout the course of our lives. If we are to faithfully follow in the footsteps of our Savior, we need to know how to approach Him, to seek Him earnestly, and not merely trail behind from a distance. Early bird registration is now open.
