Back to School: Stuff the Backpacks & Fellowship Ladies Event
Friday, July 31 at 6:00pm
Please join us for a mission-focused event where we will be filling children’s backpacks with new school supplies to help them prepare for the upcoming school year. Your $15 suggested donation will enable us to purchase the necessary supplies.
During our gathering, we will work together to pack the backpacks, followed by a time of enjoyable company, a light meal, and a brief inspirational message.
The following week, the backpacks will be distributed to those who require them. For members of FBC, the giveaway will take place on Sunday, August 2nd after the church service. You are welcome to take a backpack for your children or anyone else in need. For the wider community, from Monday to Friday, August 3rd to 7th, backpacks will be available at the church office for those who are in need.
Sign up for the event and give toward the supplies by clicking below. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions by emailing staff@fbcew.org

FBC Year of Rest
2026
The year of 2026 stands before us as a year of rest and renewal, not as an end to ministry, but as a return to abiding more deeply in God's presence. After seasons of labor, God consistently calls His people to rest, just as He promises, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." (Ex 33:14)
You will find that we will be pulling back from some of our regular ministry events this year, such as Experience Christmas and Summer Music and Arts Camp. This doesn't mean we will never do them again, in fact, we plan to restart with refreshed energy and focus in 2027!
We look forward to enjoying a Sabbath-rest and hope you and your family will join us in it!
