Holy Week at FBC
The season of Lent culminates with Holy Week. You are welcome to join us for one or more opportunities for worship, reflection, communion and celebration.

Wandering with Jesus through the wilderness of Lent requires tools and practices to guide, enliven and nourish our spirits. Rather than “give up” something, as many have through the ages, let’s take on something. Let’s reflect and refine ourselves as people who walk with Jesus knowing how this season ends, even when we don’t know how our current cultural reality will. Lent is about who we will be when we arrive on Easter and how we live in light of resurrection in the time that follows.

Good Friday at Royersford Baptist Church 
FBC will join Royersford Baptist Church, 452 S. Lewis Road Royersford, PA 19468 on for “The Good Friday Project: Creative Reflections on Life, Death, Resistance, Redemption” on April 18 at 6 pm in their sanctuary. 

Easter Sunday Celebration and Worship
3:15 pm Easter Celebration
outside Mission First
4:30 pm Worship in the Sanctuary

Join the Easter Celebration as we gather for cookies and conversation outside Mission First! Sidewalk chalk decorations and sharing time with our neighbors reflects God's good news

Worship in the sanctuary follows at 4:30. While the first Easter seems to be a "bust" there is joy in hidden places! Come, find your joy in song and praise! All are welcome, really! 

Learning Community

Palm Sunday, April 13th, 3:15 PM, live or on Zoom.
Our topic will be "Live!" or "Don't Die Until You're Dead!": Hospice takes the position that we are alive until we are dead, which means we are not “dying” but living until we are not. Let’s return to thinking about how our faith influences our life choices, including those we make in anticipation of our deaths.

There will be no learning community on Easter Sunday. Instead we will be offering cookies and lemonade to the public at 3:15 PM. Join us! There will also be no learning community on April 27th.

Support our Special Offering for April:
"New Life"

FBC's Ministry Coordination Team invites you to celebrate resurrection by giving to our "New Life" Easter Offering. Your contributions will give new life to our worship space by allowing us to purchase flexible seating and other accoutrements that inspire our worship. Our vision is a worship space that is inviting, comfortable and beautiful while accommodating the variety of physical needs of our congregation. Flexible seating will enable us to use the sanctuary in new and creative ways: gatherings of various sizes, seating around tables, and most importantly, face to face singing, praying and collaboration will all be possible. Your contribution may purchase a chair, table or small couch. It may provide items of inspiration and comfort such as books, art supplies, new banners, lumbar pillows, lighting, or plants. We endeavor to create a space where God's presence is easily accessible to all and where all our differences are united in our care and appreciation for each other.
