Mid-week Announcements on May 11, 2022

1) Wednesday Night Inductive Bible Study tonight, Choir practice, & AWANA tonight, 6:30 PM  Join us tonight for our Wednesday Night inductive Bible study in Room 117/118 where one of our pastors leads us through a passage of Scripture verse-by-verse where together we observe what the text says, interpret what it means, and seek to apply it with God’s help. All are welcome, join us tonight as we dive into 2 Peter 2:17-22!

2) Sunday Coffee Bar at FBCUM: We encourage you to take some time after the Sunday morning service to meet someone you may not recognize or get to know your fellow members, brothers, and sisters in the church. Please feel free to grab a cup of coffee and a cookie while you fellowship at our coffee bar in the Fellowship Hall. If you are interested in helping with the Coffee Bar, please get in touch with Philip or Krystal Spuler @ (509) 475-7445. No experience or expertise is required.

3) Members Meeting May 22, 2022 – Please mark your calendars as Lord willing, we plan to meet for our members’ meeting following the morning service on Sunday, May 22, 2022.

4) New Summer DiscipleLife (Sunday School) Classes – On Sunday, June 5^th, we will be starting our next quarter of Sunday morning classes. We will communicate class details (room assignments, teachers, etc.) in the near future, so stay tuned! We hope to offer 3 classes:

a) “Explore the Bible” – We will be digging into 1 & 2 Kings, considering how a holy God is faithful to shepherd His people even when we’re prone to go our own way.

b) “Evangelism: Know and Share the Gospel” – Intimidated or discouraged in your evangelism? The aim of this class is to equip us with a better understanding of the gospel, practical tools, and confidence in God as we seek to share the good news!

c) “Time, Talent, and Treasure: managing God’s gifts” – What does it mean to manage money, time, and resources as a Christian? Join us in this class as we dig into biblical instruction on everything from budgeting, debt, giving, and financial freedom.

5) Reminder for Parents – We love the joy and energy of the kiddos at FBCUM and we want to encourage folks to stick around for fellowship, encouragement, and to check in on each other (see announcement #2). Parents, to love and care for our elderly saints after the Sunday morning service, please keep an eye on your kids after service and encourage them to be careful around our elderly members. Thanks!

6) VBS Volunteers – Lord willing, we’ll be hosting a VBS for kids in our church and neighborhood between June 27^th and July 1^st (9:00 AM-12:30 PM) from ages kindergarten through 6^th grade. If you are interested in volunteering that week, please contact Pam Jensen or Shelbey Strickland.

7) “Home Reach” Ministry – The Home Reach Ministry (formerly the Homebound ministry) is looking for members who are seriously interested in serving the Lord by spending time ministering to those church members not able to be physically present in the church. For more information contact Bernice McGuire at 301-855-5529 or [email protected].

8) Giving We encourage you to continue to faithfully give as a way to sustain the gospel ministry at FBCUM and as a means for us to care for those in need as a church family. You can give online or mail your offering to the church office. Church members who have a benevolence request, please contact the church office at [email protected].

If you have any questions, please contact the church office.
