INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE MISSION WEEKEND

Did you know there are more slaves in the world today than at any point in human history? We think this is an issue that requires the church to be informed and respond accordingly. The weekend of AUGUST 11-12, many Connect Groups will participate in an important International Justice Mission Weekend. Our broken world needs the church and needs God's people to be aware of how they can be a light to those living in darkness. If you would like to join a Connect Group for this IJM Weekend, please email Bill Boren at bboren@fbccov.org for a list of participating Connect Groups.
