Christmas Parade | Saturday, Dec 6 | 5:30pm line up
We would love your help representing FBC in this year’s Middleville Christmas Parade. We will meet at the Thornapple Valley Church Middleville parking lot (20 W State Street) at 5:30pm to line up. The parade starts at 6pm. Please wear FBC sweatshirts!
Deacon & Elder Nomination Forms | Due Nov 30
Nomination forms are available at the Welcome Center for FBC members to nominate new Elders and Deacons to the Board. You will nominate two Elders and two Deacons to start new three-year terms. The Deacons who are already serving on the Board as “acting Elders” will need to be approved by a vote of the Congregation at the Annual Meeting in order for them to complete their current terms as Elders rather than Deacons.
Nominations are due Nov 30.
