Youth Mission Trip... June 10 - 17, 2023

We are working with Sea Island Habitat for Humanity building a home for a family in need!!! It’s a wonderful trip working to provide a home for a family. We will go to the beach and do some fun stuff too!

Total cost for a student to go is $150 or 15 hours of volunteer work at local missions and fundraising projects.

Participants will need to train by volunteering at our local habitat for humanity. Days and dates are to be determined and announced later.

Youth Unidiversity Camp... July 10 - 14, 2023

"Where is God?" - Camp Theme, Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee

Registration dates: March 15, 2023 - May 10, 2023

Cost: $220

To Register: $50 deposit will reserve a spot and completed paperwork turned into Ben Ondrak.

Youth are encouraged to work volunteer hours to offset the cost of camp.

If you know of a church member who has been admitted to the hospital, please call the church office (preferably a family member) to let us know.  Don’t assume that we’ve already heard about it.  Because if you don’t call, there’s a good chance we haven’t.  We want to ensure that our hospitalized church members or at home members receive regular visits while they are ill, and your calls are the only way we can make that happen.  Please help us in the office as we all try to better look out and care for one another.

Church News...

The church office is happy to publish, advertise, and promote events happening at FBB. Niki and Terri are not always informed about happenings. So, please help us out. First Word is published every month. If you need information published send it to Niki by the 2nd week of the month prior to publication. Bulletins and Weekly E-News are published weekly. Information for these publications are needed into the church office by Tuesday at noon. Niki's email is niki@fbcbristol.org and Terri's is terri@fbcbristol.org. We appreciate your help in getting the news out!
