Giving Back
Giving Away Free Stuff in Jesus' Name
We believe that church should not just take place within a building on Sunday mornings and periodically during the week, but in our community every day. Therefore, we look for specific opportunities to "take Jesus to the streets" and let people know that Jesus loves them in a practical sort of way. Here is a list of the ways we have served our community recently.
Koinonia Cafe (weekly)-- free community dinner every Thursday
Fireworks Party (annually)-- Come sit out in the church lawn to watch them set off the fireworks across the street. Free popcorn, Pepsi, and water for everyone! Come early with your lawn chairs and blankets to get a spot for your family.
Food Pantry (year-round) -- We have a small food pantry with various non-perishables available to the public as needed. Simply contact the church office during regular business hours and someone will be able to assist you. *Food donations available on a limited basis.
Free Community Carnival (August 8, 2010) -- Win prizes and play games as a family! Celebrity Dunk tank, hog roast, Special blessing during morning worship for Bryan City Schools faculty and staff, touch a fire truck, and more! You'll go home with sugar in your teeth, a smile on your face, and fun prizes in your pockets (for Mom and Dad too!).
Summer Garage Sales (yearly) -- Each summer for the past several years we have put on a very large garage sale. The proceeds go to missions, but the discounts and savings go to our community. Watch the local paper and other announcements for details about the next all-church garage sale to cash in on great bargains!
Free tailgate parties (Seasonal) --before every Bryan Varsity Football home game. Come for free popcorn, drinks, and hotdogs! Park at FBC, grab a dog, and head over to the game! Come early before the parking places and free food runs out!
Look for other exciting ways we'll be out and about this year giving away free stuff that you could use all to show you that Jesus loves you in a practical sort of way! You never know what else we'll come up with!
