Church Work Day

We will have a Church Work Day on Saturday, March 14th, starting at 9:00am.

Communion & Benevolence Offering

This Sunday, March 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.

Confession of Faith

This Sunday, March 15th, we will confess our faith together using Questions 89-92 of A Brief Instruction in the Principles of Christian Religion, also known as The Baptist Catechism, of 1693.

The lightly modernized text of the questions and answers are below:

Q. 89: What does every sin deserve?
A. Every sin deserves God's wrath and curse, both in this life, and that which is to come.

Q. 90. What does God require of us, that we may escape His wrath and curse, due to us for sin?
A. To escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for sin, God requires of us faith in Jesus Christ, repentance unto life, with the diligent use of all the outward means by which God communicates to us the benefits of redemption.

Q. 91. What is faith in Jesus Christ?
A. Faith in Jesus Christ is a saving grace, whereby we receive and rest upon Him alone for salvation, as He is offered to us in the gospel.

Q. 92. What is repentance unto life?
A. Repentance unto life is a saving grace, whereby a sinner, out of a true sense of his sin, and apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ, does, with grief and hatred of his sin, turn from it to God, fully intending and striving for a new obedience.

Wycombe Community Easter Egg Hunt

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:
