Souper Bowl of Caring Offering


We will take up an offering for local benevolence needs as you leave the worship services on Sunday, February 11,2024. This is a great chance to give to those in need on a day when we often indulge rather selfishly. Be part of sharing God’s love with those in need. Please give generously on Super Bowl Sunday. Every dollar donated goes to helping local people in need through the benevolence ministries of our church.

Decorate the Tree with Caps & Gloves

KIND DEEDS CAN CHANGE LIVES. COLD WEATHER IS HERE.

The caps, gloves, and socks are very much appreciated by the ones in our area trying to keep warm. Please bring warm items to church office. Gently used or new ….which ever you have to donate. Thank you for your thoughtfulness to our community.

Prayer Time...

Please come and join us for prayer time each Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. in the prayer room starting November 7, 2023. If you have any questions, please contact Susan Banks - 252.649.4706.

Congregational Care...

If you know of a church member who has been admitted to the hospital, please call the church office (preferably a family member) to let us know.  Don’t assume that we’ve already heard about it.  Because if you don’t call, there’s a good chance we haven’t.  We want to ensure that our hospitalized church members or at home members receive regular visits while they are ill, and your calls are the only way we can make that happen.  Please help us in the office as we all try to better look out and care for one another.

Church News...

The church office is happy to publish, advertise, and promote events happening at FBB. Niki and Terri are not always informed about happenings. So, please help us out. First Word is published every month. If you need information published send it to Niki by the 2nd week of the month prior to publication. Bulletins and Weekly E-News are published weekly. Information for these publications are needed into the church office by Tuesday at noon. Niki's email is niki@fbcbristol.org and Terri's is terri@fbcbristol.org. We appreciate your help in getting the news out!

You can give online by going to our website and clicking on "Donate" in the upper right-hand corner. You can send your pledge, offering, or special gift by texting (all one word) fbcbristol to 73256. You can also mail your checks directly to the church. Our address is 125 Sedgefield Street, Bristol, VA 24201. Thank you, as always, for your generosity.
