 New Sermon Series

We will begin a new sermon series on the books of 1 and 2 Samuel this Sunday, August 18th.

Be sure to get a 1-2 Samuel notebook on the table next to the nursery in the Fellowship Hall if you haven’t already.

Communion & Benevolence Offering

This Sunday, August 18th, 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.

Note: If you intend to give to this offering by check, please write a separate one from your check for the General Fund and Missions. This is because the Benevolence Fund uses a different checking account from the others.

Confession of Faith

This Sunday, August 18th, we will confess our faith using Chapter 2, Paragraph 1 of the 1677 Confession of Faith. You can find the text (with light updating of language and punctuation) below:

The Lord our God is but one only, living, and true God; whose subsistence is in and of Himself, infinite in being and perfection, whose essence cannot be comprehended by any but Himself; a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions, who alone has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; who is immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, every way infinite, most holy, most wise, most free, most absolute; working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will for His own glory; most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, and also most just and terrible in His judgments, hating all sin, and who will by no means clear the guilty.

Family Fun Fest

Saturday, September 7th from 12-4pm we are hosting our annual Family Fun Fest. Come and join us for our end-of-summer celebration!

Men’s Breakfast

Giving Information

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:
