All FBC Youth age 13 and over, you have been invited to attend the screening of the movie “Selma” followed by a panel discussion of the movie (see below flyer for details). The cost of the movie is FREE to you. Rev. Peoples’ Adult Bible Study Class will be treating you to the movie. Please see any of your Youth Ministry Advisors (AWANA, NEW LIFE Acade-my, Praise Dance, & Jr. Ushers) to let them know that you would like to attend. Permission slips are available in the church office. Adults are also encouraged to join our youth in at-tending the screening of the movie as well. (The cost is $12.00)

Thank you Rev. Peoples and Class for generous offer. It is greatly appreciated.

FBC Women’s Fellowship Bible Study

“TREASURED”

Y ou are the precious daughter of your heavenly Father, who claims you as His own.

In an informal, relaxed and safe setting we will bond as sisters as we study God’s Word.

Just as a treasure hunter searches for hidden jewels and buried riches, we will seek out and

treasure God's Word in this four-session women's Bible study series. In it, we are invited to

open the Bible and take a unique look at His treasures for us. Far greater than the value of

any earthly treasure, God's precious Word points the way to Christ, "in whom are hidden all

the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3). The same Bible study will be of-

fered on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon so that as many women as possible will have

the opportunity to attend. Please choose the session that best fits your schedule and attend.

Invite your girlfriends to attend with you—need not be a member of FBC

Center for Food Action—Food Bank Donations

Please search your hearts and your cupboards to help the needy. There

are many problems in the world that we can not solve, but hunger in our

own community is not one of them! We can stamp out hunger in Bergen

County if we all pitch in and do our part. Please consider contributing food

to the Center for Food Action. You can

put food donations in the large contain-er near the steps in the foyer. We

thank you and your neighbors will thank you also.
