Written by Thomas Bluemling, FBC Church Member As I look at the things which are going on in the world, I am tempted, like many Christians, to focus my attention on worrying. I am tempted to engage my mind to be completely preoccupied with what is happening and what might happen. So I would like to stir […]
Written by Brent Brondyke, Music Pastor If you have attended or watched any of our services over the last few months, you have heard about the “Love Your City” project with which we have been involved since early April.
