"I was born without arms. But God is glorified in my difference and has given me a thriving life. God has given me the opportunity and call to speak to more than 200,000 people every year – sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ as well as what I have learned being born visibly different. God has shaped my perspective to pursue a full life because I am defined by Him, and His grace rather than seeing myself as the sum of two empty sleeves or finding my value in the eyes of the critical opinions of the world. It is my joy to encourage others, and provide them with the hope of Christ."

You are invited to the 50+ Adult Dinner on Thursday, Feb. 13, at 6:00 PM in the Atrium. Please bring a dish to share with everyone and invite a friend or neighbor to join us.

Your faithful giving allows FBC to teach our children the Bible, prepare our students with a Biblical worldview, and resource our members to go on mission across the street, the state and the seas. Every week we hear the good news that our church is sharing the best news ever to people who need Jesus.

Will you help us finish 2024 on a strong financial note? We are thankful to be part of a church that provides generous resources for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

As we enter the Christmas season, we want to remind you of ways you can make your year-end gifts other than the church offering boxes:

• Online giving is fast and easy using the link on our website, or through the Church Center phone app.

• Mail your year-end gift to the church office, 1597 Sawnee Dr., Cumming, GA 30040, postmarked by December 31.
