New Hymn

This Sunday, February 15th, we will sing a hymn that is new to us, the 2003 hymn, “Jesus is Lord.” You can familiarize yourself with it by viewing the video below:

Communion & Benevolence Offering

This Sunday, February 15th, 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 offering 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

After the Lord’s Supper this Sunday, February 15th, we will confess our faith together using Questions 56-58 from the Heidelberg Catechism (1563). You can find the text of those questions and answers below:

What do you believe concerning "the forgiveness of sins"?
I believe that God, because of Christ's satisfaction, will no longer remember any of my sins or my sinful nature which I need to struggle against all my life. Rather, by his grace God grants me the righteousness of Christ that I may never come into judgment.

How does "the resurrection of the body" comfort you?
Not only will my soul be taken immediately after this life to Christ its head, but also my very flesh, raised by the power of Christ, will be reunited with my soul, and made like Christ's glorious body.

How does the article concerning "life everlasting" comfort you?
Even as I already now experience in my heart the beginning of eternal joy, so after this life I will have perfect blessedness such as no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has ever imagined: a blessedness in which to praise God eternally.

“Count It All Joy” Women’s Event

Join us on Saturday, February 28th, from 10:00am-3:00pm, for a one-day women’s event, “Count It All Joy”. Mrs. Anu Unruh, who is a member of Gospel of Grace Community Church in Kinzers, will be back to give her testimony of converting to Christ out of her Hindu background, as well as discussing how God has brought her through difficulty and trauma.

Giving Information

Giving at FBC Wycombe goes toward three funds: 1) General Fund, 2) Missions, and 3) Benevolence. All three can be contributed to online. General Fund and Missions giving can be done in-person each Sunday. Benevolence can be given to in-person on the first and third Sundays of the month.

Online giving can be done through the link here or texting the word “Donate” to: (484) 969-9878.

Any undesignated contributions given in person 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:
