Christmas at FBCF
Celebrate the Birth of Christ!
Christmas time is here and we want to celebrate with you at First Baptist Church Forney! We have several fun Christmas activities to make this season special - not to mention insightful preaching to make the true story of Christmas come alive.
If you are looking for a place where you will find encouraging, biblically-based messages, warm fellowship and beautiful music, then FBCF has a place for you! Our services and activities include something for the whole family. Joins us this Christmas!
Sunday Worship at 9:15 and 11:00 am
Christmas at FBC Forney kicks off on Sunday, Dec. 1. Each Sunday, we will feature Christmas worship music highlighting our adult choir, kids choir, and orchestra. Stroll the building and enjoy our festive decorations and photo booth opportunities.
Missions Workshop
Our Missions Workshop opens on Sunday, Dec. 1, in the Mall. For a minimum .25 cent donation to missions, you can “mail” Christmas cards to others within our church, send cards/letters to missionaries, purchase handmade ornaments from our GA tree (see suggested donation on-site), and take a picture in our photo booth!
Blue Christmas
Blue Christmas is a special service for all who struggle with loss and seasonal depression on Sunday, Dec. 1, from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. in the Forum. Childcare for birth - Pre-K is available.
No registration is needed. If you or someone you know struggles with seasonal depression, we encourage you and your family to join us.
A Christmas to remember Women's event
Ladies, take a break from the holiday hustle and join us for "A Christmas to Remember." Enjoy a festive dinner with friends, old and new, as we gather for a meaningful night of worship and fellowship. With a blend of heartfelt conversations and an inspiring message from a longtime pastor's wife and educator, Peggy Osborne, this evening will help us embrace the peace, hope, and joy that Christ brings. Let this be a time to renew your faith, find rest in His presence, and celebrate the season.
Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 6:30 p.m. in the First Baptist Church Forney Worship Center. The cost is $10, and childcare is available by registration.
Greatest Gift to Jesus Missions Offering
Our second annual Greatest Gift to Jesus Missions Offering Day is Sunday, Dec. 8. In honor of Christ's birth, throughout the month of December, we are collecting a special missions offering to accelerate the spread of the gospel from our city to the ends of the earth. 100% of this offering will go to missions. We encourage you to consider giving an offering over and above your regular tithe. You may give either in our services or online at fbcforney.org/give. Choose either the "Greatest Gift To Jesus" or the "FBC Missions" funds.
Sensory Friendly Santa Clause
This event is for families with special needs of all ages. Families will enjoy pictures with Santa, making ornaments, and writing letters to Santa. We will serve hot chocolate and cookies.
