Parents & Children Parents, in an effort to consistently improve our worship services, we ask you to sit with your children and teenagers in the worship service so that all can be edified without great distraction. Phones and tablets can be used too by our young people to access sermon notes and the Bible online, but we ask that they refrain from other uses so that they can grow as well. Tithes & Offerings FBC keeps track of all financial giving by check or cash through an envelope system. If you want a financial tax deduction statement at the end of year, please help us by requesting and using our envelope system. Please put name clearly on your envelope for the first month or two so we can be accurate in recording your giving. Gordon Johnson is our point of contact to request an envelope box.
