GA Girls and Mission Friends Kids Sharing God’s Love

Our GA Girls enjoyed delivering Valentine treats and spreading lots of

love to the nursing home residents last Wednesday night. Thanks to all

who help lead these girls each week. They are learning and DOING

missions! Our Mission Friends made Valentines for the Christian Kitchen.

These groups worked hard to share the Love of Christ with those in our

Community! A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to Larry Hall and all those

who work with our RA Boys. The RA Racer Event was another

TREMENDOUS SUCCESS! Our kids are so fortunate to have a variety

of ways to learn and grow at FBC! THANKS TO ALL OUR LEADERS!

Don’t forget that we follow the Ben Hill County

School System Calendar so there will be NO

children’s activities Wednesday night, February 20th.

We will resume with our regular schedule on

Wednesday, February 27th. Please make note of this

calendar change.

priority each week.

Abundance Ministry

community. You can bring chips, snack cakes,

might think of for women or men. And, again you may just donate to the

Abundance Ministry and items will be purchased.

Jerry’s Title and Text Mark 12:41-44

“Was the Widow Wronged?” 41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings

were put and watched the crowd putting their money into

the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large

amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very

small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you,

this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the

others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of

her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

Bailey's Notes

BINGO FOR FEBRUARY YOUNG AT HEART! Plan to join us in February for our Young at Heart meeting at Noon in

Burch Hall on the 25th. Our attendance in January was GREAT so please

join us for BINGO in February. This is always a fun time as we

fellowship around the table and see who can win at Bingo! Our host

group members for February are: Kelly & Shirlie Sumner, Wiley &

Charlene Evans and Virginia Watson. If you are not part of a Host Group,

please let me know! We are always in need of helpers.

First Supper Club Set for Last Day of February! We have set the date for our First Supper Club meeting of 2019! We will

be meeting on Thursday night, February 28th at 6pm. Because the time

will not have changed and many do not like to drive long distances at

night, we will be eating at Floyd’s Hamburger Shack. Remember, this is a

time we meet for food and fellowship and the Sr. Adult Ministry will be

paying for the meal for all who attend. Please mark your calendars and

plan to join us for our First Supper Club of the Year!
