Let’s Connect

This fall the church will offer a Bible study on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8 PM. The study will focus on the book of Genesis and follow the Yale Bible Study curriculum. A key feature of this Bible study is that participants will be asked to read and reflect on the assigned readings in advance of each meeting. Weekly meetings will be devoted to discussing the week’s scripture passages and associated material from the Yale curriculum. Most weeks the readings will take 1-2 hours.

Participants are asked to commit to attending most, if not all, weekly meetings, which will be facilitated by Clay Scott. The first meeting will take place on September 17 and the final meeting will take place on November 12. There will be no meeting on October 8. Meetings will be in-person at FBC by default, though some could be switched to virtual depending on group preferences. If you are interested, please look for a sign-up sheet at the Ministry Station in the hallway or online here.

The Gathering, our campus ministry, meets each Wednesday evening for dinner and conversation. Our hope is to support this ministry by providing dinner – home-cooked or otherwise! Please choose a date that works for you to provide a meal. Dinners should feed 10 and be dropped off in the Campus Center kitchen ready to serve by 5:45p. Contact Mary Davis (marydavis1956@gmail.com) if you have any questions.

Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month at FBCA2. Each Communion Sunday, we need 6 people to partner with our pastor to distribute communion. For more information about the specific roles and responsibilities, review the Communion Preparation and Serving Instructions.

It is a treat to have flowers for worship! Would you like to help make this happen? If so, select a Sunday. Then, by the Wednesday before, email Kat (office@fbca2.org) with the dedication for the bulletin. Also by the Wednesday before, let Dana Larson (lapd4larson@gmail.com) of the Board of Worship know if you would like to have a floral arrangement ($50) ordered from a local florist or if you prefer to bring your own flowers. If bringing your own flowers, please have them at church on Sunday morning by 9:40 am. Questions? Connect with Dana.

Youth, you are an important part of our worshiping community! 6th through 12th graders are invited to acolyte once a month or every other month.

We are in need of volunteers to help cook or serve a hot meal on the third Thursday of each month at Hope Clinic in Ypsilanti. Interested? Contact Karen Rayner or simply sign up!. No experience required and ALL are welcome (friends, family, colleagues…). Why not sign up for a time with a friend? Volunteers must be 12 or older.
