Church Work Day

We will have a Church Work Day this Saturday, April 20th, starting at 9:00am.

Communion & Benevolence Offering

This Sunday, April 21st, we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper at the end of our service. We will pass the elements out in the customary manner, and we will have individual servings of the elements available in the foyer for those who prefer to partake that way.

We will also take a collection for our Benevolence Fund. This money goes to those with tangible needs. Marked silver offering plates will be at each exit for this offering.

Confession of Faith

This Sunday, April 21st, we will use Question 26 from the Heidelberg Catechism to confess our faith following the Lord’s Supper. The text of Question 26 is below:

Q. What do you believe when you say, "I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth"?

A. That the eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who out of nothing created heaven and earth and everything in them, who still upholds and rules them by His eternal counsel and providence, is my God and Father for the sake of Christ His Son.

I trust God so much that I do not doubt He will provide whatever I need for body and soul and will turn to my good whatever adversity He sends upon me in this vale of tears.

He is able to do this because He is almighty God; He desires to do this because He is a faithful Father.

Special-Called Meeting

The elders have called a meeting for this Sunday, April 21st, following the morning service. The purpose of this meeting is to approve the allocation of money from two budget lines for the current fiscal year (FY 2023-24) to the temporary fund so that those funds can be used in the next fiscal year (FY 2024-25).

Annual Meeting

We will have our Annual Meeting on Sunday, May 5th.

VBS 2024

FBC Wycombe will partner again this summer with Bucks and Montgomery CEF to hold our Vacation Bible School from July 22nd-26th at 9:00-11:00am.

Giving Information (Expanded)

Giving at FBC Wycombe goes toward three funds: 1) General Fund, 2) Missions, and 3) Benevolence. Benevolence is collected in special plates twice a month; the others are collected every week.

Any undesignated contributions go toward the General Fund. Because Missions has a separate budget, it is necessary for missions giving to be designated. To give to the Missions Fund, please designate the amount on an offering envelope. If giving by check, please designate the amount for Missions in the memo line as well.

As always, offering plates will be placed at each exit this Sunday. If you would prefer to mail in your offering, you may still do so; simply send your gift to the following:
