First Fridays are always an exciting time to view the new art and to share in fellowship and getting to know one another as well as meeting folks from our community.

This month we will celebrate the Photography Art of Megan Quillen! There will be snacks and fellowship in the welcome center as you enjoy the art work. Megan will be available to visit with you and perhaps answer any questions and to hear your compliments! Make plans now to join us!

As we gather around the Lord’s Table during the months of July and August, we invite you to bring an offering of school supplies. As you know, students are asked to fill a long list of school supplies to bring with them during their first week of school in the Fall. Below is a list of what many elementary schools are asking students to provide. Consider what you may bring as an offering in these coming weeks. You may place the items in the vestibule as you come to worship on Sunday, July 2 and Sunday, August 6. We will also be available in the church office to receive items during the week. Thank you for prayerfully considering your gift.

A Primer For Giving at FBCA Primer For Giving at FBCA Primer For Giving at FBCA Primer For Giving at FBC FBC has three primary areas to which offerings can be

made: The Ministry Budget, Building Upon Our Heritage in

Missions (BUOH), and the Capital Fund.

The Ministry Budget

The Ministry Budget is the operating budget which includes

budget allocations for three categories:

Ministry, which includes ministry to specific age groups,

music, bus fleet maintenance, Vacation Bible School,

women’s mission groups, and personnel costs of ministerial

staff;

Administrative, which would include items such as office

supplies, postage, worship resources, publicity, office

equipment repair and replacement, and personnel costs of

office and other support staff;

Facilities, which would include utilities, building repair and

maintenance, insurance, janitorial supplies, organ and

piano tuning, and personnel costs of janitorial and

maintenance staff;

Building Upon Our Heritage in Missions (BUOH)

BUOH is the primary source of funds for the comprehensive

local and global missions work of the church. This mission

work involves financial support of partners such as the

Baptist General Association of Virginia, Cooperative Baptist

Fellowship, Micah Ecumenical Ministries, and the

Fredericksburg Area Baptist Network. Other mission work

includes efforts promoted and supported directly by the

church, such as the weekly Community Dinner, ESL classes,

Benevolence, and other special emphases as the church

may develop.

Capital Fund

The Capital Fund is an on-going accumulating fund that

provides funding for accomplishing various capital needs of

the church physical plant. This would include items such as

major repairs (roof replacement, structural and mechanical

repair, etc), and general building improvements and

renovation.

Note: Watering the Roots (WTR) is a five year campaign to

provide funding for specific projects such as a renovated

youth area, a new welcome center, Ferrell Hall and kitchen

upgrades. Gifts to WTR supports these specific projects.

Would You Be Willing to Would You Be Willing to Would You Be Willing to Would You Be Willing to Try an Experiment?Try an Experiment?Try an Experiment?Try an Experiment?

The next time you go to the mall, count how many steps you must take to get from the parking lot to the store you wish to visit. If you have a Fitbit or pedometer, those devices can do it for you. Let’s say that you discovered that it took you 250 steps to get to your destination. Then the next time you are at church, walk that same number of steps away from the church and see where you finish. Would you consider parking at least that distance from the church, leaving closer parking for those folks who really can’t walk far? After all, if walking that distance at the mall is possible, wouldn’t it be just as easy when coming to church? Would you be willing to give it a try?
