The FBCA Men's ministry will be hosting a special Father's Day BBQ here at FBC campus from 12-2pm. You and the whole family are invited for food, fun, fellowship and a three on three basketball after lunch in the Gym. Also, join us this Sunday for Father's Day celebration at 10:30am in worship center. Every fathers and men will get a gift certificate from Fosselman's ice cream during worship hour.

We will continue our series on Life and Ministry of Jesus. This week we will be looking at The Galilean Ministry of Jesus. In this Bible account, except for Jerusalem, Jesus spent almost eighteen months there. According to one author, He spoke approximately 70 parables and performed 35 miracles. So most of the parables and miracles of Christ recorded in the gospels took place during the Galilean ministry. For this Sunday, we will focus on the first tour of Jesus where He healed a leper instructing him not to tell anyone and show himself to the priest (Mt 4:23-9:17, Mk 1:35-2:22, Lk 4:42-5:39).

That's all for now, Have a Bless weekend!

Join us this Sunday as we continue our series on Life and Ministry of Jesus. We will be looking at the Bible account of the Woman at the Well. In this brief summary of the Bible story, it tells a story of how Jesus surpassed our human tendency of judging others because of stereotpyes, customs or prejudices. Instead He treats people as individuals and accepting them with love and compassion.
That's all for now, see you all on Sunday!
