FIRST CONNECTION
November 3

First Connection is Sunday, November 3. Join us in the Fellowship Hall to learn more about who FBCD is and where we are going. The class is taught in both English and Spanish and is a great first-step in joining our church family or simply hearing our heart for the gospel, our community, and for making disciples. Childcare and lunch are provided. You can RSVP by clicking the link below. However, walk-ups are always welcome, too.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

Operation Christmas Child is a ministry initiative we participate in every year to send shoeboxes of gifts to needy children around the world—showering them with blessing, prayer, and the gospel. Our shoebox drive runs through November 24. We will have a time of celebration and prayer of dedication over all of the shoeboxes on November 24 during our worship service. Participate by picking up a shoebox from the foyer and filling it with items for that child's age & gender. Click the link below for more information.
NO PROGRAMMING
October 13-17

We will have no programming October 13-17 due to Douglas County fall break. If you have any questions, call the church office at 770-942-5481.
DEACON NOMINATIONS

The Deacon Nominating Committee is currently in the process of selecting the new Deacons for 2025. We ask that you prayerfully submit the names of the men you would like to present for consideration. All nominations need to be submitted to the church office by Sunday, October 20. You can pick up a nomination card from the church office throughout the week. You may return them during the service in the offering plate, after the service at the Welcome Desk, or to the church office at any time.
