For the remainder of April, our Wednesday night Prayer & Bible study time on Zoom will feature stories from CBF Missions about Hope & Hospitality.
On Wed, April 14, we will learn about hurricane recovery work in Louisiana (link to article here) and read the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:30-37.
A children’s activity page on the theme of Hope and Hospitality is also available here.
Both of these resources come from the Winter 2020-2021 edition of fellowship! magazine. Copies of the magazine are available at church or online here.

Look for an email Sunday morning with the link to the YouTube video and a link to Facebook.

We will also premiere the service on Facebook at 11 am on Sunday. This will allow us to watch “together,” greet one another in the comments section, and have a greater sense of community as a church family.

What a joy it has been to gather recently for Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday services outdoors at church. As the sanctuary renovations continue and as more people in our community are able to receive the vaccine, we are getting closer to being able to resume more in-person activities and services.
- We have already been working on plans for Sunday School and a church conference in April.
- Church Council will be meeting later this month to discuss upcoming plans for worship and other church-wide opportunities.
- Other committees are discussing ideas for special activities.
As we prepare to emerge from this life-altering season of a global pandemic, there are new opportunities on the horizon! COVID remains a serious health concern, especially with the new variants, and so we want to proceed with caution, recognizing the continued need to protect one another. We plan to
continue offering online worship and are looking forward to the new audiovisual equipment that is part of our Repair and Revitalize capital campaign. In the meantime, continue to join our online worship service (either on Facebook on Sunday mornings at 11 or at another time during the week on either Facebook or YouTube) as we prepare ourselves spiritually for all that is to come. The future may be uncertain, but God goes with us into this uncertain future with grace and hope. Thanks be to God!

Combined Sunday School Class Starts Sunday, Apr 18 |
|
We are starting a combined Adult Sunday School Class on Sunday, Apr 18 at 9:30 am. The class will meet in person in the Fellowship Hall in order to allow for social distancing. Please wear your mask. Max Loyd, Adult Sunday School Director, is coordinating the class. The teacher for April 18 will be Suzanne Morse. If your Sunday School class has not been meeting on Zoom, if you are ready to gather in person, if you have not been previously connected with a Sunday School class, or if you are just looking for a fresh start, you are welcome! |

Register for the CBFSC Virtual General Assembly |
|
Don’t forget to register (no cost!) for the CBFSC Virtual Assembly, which will take place Friday, April 16, hosted by FBC Pendleton. The event is virtual, but part of the service was filmed at FBCP, including some footage from a drone! At this meeting, FBCP Pastor Jennifer Rygg will be elected CBFSC Moderator. Be sure to tune in to join with other CBF churches from our state to celebrate mission and ministry in South Carolina.
There is no cost to attend, but you do have to register.

As we are pre-recording worship for YouTube and Facebook, we need worship volunteers for reading Scripture and praying the Offertory Prayer. This involves recording a video of yourself and then uploading it to the church -- it’s not hard. We’ll tell you how to do it and provide “tech support” if you need it.
If you would like to volunteer as a Scripture reader or praying the Offertory Prayer, please use the link below or email office@fbcpendleton.org or call the office at 864-646-3913. |
