    Sunday Night Connection

    Thanks to those of you that came to the firepit/cornhole night on November 6. What a great multigenerational event it was! We even had visitors from our sister church (who meets in the chapel on Sunday afternoons). I hope you will plan to come to our next event on Sunday, December 11 at 5:00 p.m. It will be a chili cookoff in the Family Life Center. Bring a pot full of your best chili recipe. The categories for judging will be: 1) mild, 2) medium, and 3) hot.  We will have crackers, Fritos, and other sides. Weather permitting, we will set up a few firepits outside the gym for s’mores. We will also be playing some games in the gym. Please mark your calendar and come connect with your church family!

    Celebrating 25 Years

    In 1996, Fee Fee Baptist Church gained a loyal servant in the form of Mike Bayles. Displaying a dedicated work ethic, Mike excelled in his position and was soon promoted to his current role of Maintenance Supervisor.

We will be honoring Mike during the worship services on Sunday, September 26. Please take a moment to thank Mike for his 25 years of keeping Fee Fee running behind the scenes.
