    Sunday Night Connection

    Our next Sunday Night Connection is December 11 at 5:00 p.m. We will meet in the FLC/Gym and will have a Chili Cookoff! Bring a crockpot of your best recipe – mild, medium, or hot! Sign up in the Connection Center to register for the competition! But, if you just want to come and enjoy the night, and just eat a bowl of chili, sign up on a separate signup sheet in the Connection Center so we know how many to expect! We will have crackers, Fritos, hot dogs, and other items to round out the menu. There will be games and firepits on the back parking lot for S’mores, weather permitting. Bring your lawn chair and have a great church multi-generational experience as we connect. Our firepit/cornhole night had an age range from pre-K to senior adults. Put this on your calendar and make connecting with your church a priority!


    Angel Tree

    Did you notice the tree with the handmade ornaments in the Welcome Center? Each ornament represents an individual gift for someone in our church or community who could be blessed by you this Christmas. To participate, take an ornament off the tree, buy the gift listed on it, wrap the gift, attach that ornament tag to the wrapped gift and place your gift under the tree by Sunday, December 18. Gifts will be distributed during the week before Christmas. “If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion – how can God’s love be in that person?” (1 John 3:17).


    First Impressions & Bereavement Dinners

    Do you like to smile and greet people with a friendly word? Then you are exactly who we are looking for! Join the First Impressions team as a greeter for Sunday worship services. Contact Kathy Webber to get in the rotation for January: kathyw@feefeebc.org. Or maybe you have a gift for hospitality, we are looking to expand our team who prepares Bereavement meals for church members/families. Food can be made yourself or store-bought. Talk to Kathy Webber (kathyw@feefeebc.org) about this additional opportunity to serve!

    Trivia Night 2021

    Join us on Saturday, November 6 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. for a night of trivia, prizes, silent auction, and lots of fun and food! The cost is only $80 for a table of 8. Plan on attending this fun event and invite your family, coworkers, neighbors, and friends to join you. They do NOT have to attend Fee Fee to come to Trivia Night.  Sign up for a table in the Connection Center or by contacting Andrew (andrew@feefeebc.org).
