GREETINGS, EVERYONE!  TODAY  at 7 pm, Rezound! Handbell Ensemble will be at FBC Cameron, 202 E. Ford St. This is a holiday concert from a professional handbell group who has performed with the Kansas City Symphony. For a taste of their sound, follow this link to their website. If you would like to go and travel as a group, we will leave from the church parking lot at 6:15. I anticipate returning by 9 pm.

Tomorrow is the second Sunday of Advent. As I mentioned last week, Advent means "coming" and is so-called because we remember the first coming of Christ into this world as a baby over 2000 years ago, and we look forward to His promised second coming. I encourage you to supplement your daily Bible reading schedule with the Advent Bible readings listed below. (If time constraints require, you may choose to substitute these readings for your regular devotional Scripture reading). Here are the suggested readings for this week. The first reading of the day is normally repeated across three consecutive days for reinforcement. Click on the link to go to the electronic version.
Monday, December 6, 2021: Psalm 126; Isaiah 40:1-11; Romans 8:22-25
    • Tuesday, December 7, 2021: Psalm 126; Isaiah 19:18-25; 2 Peter 1:2-15
    • Wednesday, December 8, 2021: Psalm 126; Isaiah 35:3-7; Luke 7:18-30
    • Thursday, December 9, 2021: Isaiah 12:2-6; Amos 6:1-8; 2 Corinthians 8:1-15
    • Friday, December 10, 2021: Isaiah 12:2-6; Amos 8:4-12; 2 Corinthians 9:1-15
    • Saturday, December 11, 2021: Isaiah 12:2-6; Amos 9:8-15; Luke 1:57-66


Week of Prayer for International Missions ends tomorrow. We have highlighted a different missionary or missionary family serving with the International Mission Board each day. For Day Eight of the Week of Prayer, follow this link. We are praying for IMB church planters Larry and Melissa Lewis who have been serving in Czechia (Czech Republic) since 2009.

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions will be received during December. Our church goal is $1200. for more information on the LMCO, visit this link.

  • Worship Together at 10:40 in the Sanctuary. Here are the Scriptures we will be reading that will shape our corporate worship. Take a few moments to read and meditate on them. Also, we have seven different Scriptures in our morning worship, so they make a great resource for personal or family worship Sunday through Saturday.

All questions and concerns you may have regarding the proposed budget need to be addressed in that meeting. On the following Sunday morning, Dec. 19, immediately following morning worship, the proposed budget will be voted on by the membership with a yes or no vote. Thanks to our Stewardship Team and Personnel Team for their hard work in putting the proposal together. Many thanks to you, the people of God, for your generous and sacrificial giving that enables us to present what should be a challenging, yet reachable, budget goal for 2022.
