Adult Bible Study
A five-part study of Habakkuk and Philippians.
Consider Habakkuk, an Old Testament prophet, living in the days immediately preceding the destruction of the first temple and Paul, a New Testament prophet, living in the days immediately preceding the destruction of the second temple. Both men lived in Yet! They saw a world in chaos and Yet! determined to exult and rejoice in the LORD and live through His strength and goodness. We are living in a world that is becoming increasingly hostile to God and to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. And Yet! the day when faith becomes sight may be right around the corner. Habakkuk and Paul were dressed and ready. Are we?

Special Needs Ministry – Adult Volunteer Buddies Needed
FBCO has a ministry for families with children having special needs (preschool – 6th grade). The purpose is to give these parents and their children the opportunity to attend church like all other families. The majority of our volunteers are college students. They are very faithful, but most go home during Christmas, spring break and for the summer.
Our challenge is to develop a group of adults or local students we can call on when the college volunteers are not available. The primary focus is the 9:45 SS hour, however we would also like to help SN parents wanting to attend an 11:00 class or service. A buddy’s role is to stay with the child in the classroom to offer companionship and guidance.
Would you consider giving a Sunday or two each month to help these families when our college students are not available?
