“God looks at the heart, not the hand-the giver, not the gift.”

“If everyone in your church followed your pattern of giving, would your church receive a token, a tip or a tithe?”

(Brian Kluth, Pastor and Generosity Speaker and Author)

“If a thief helps a poor man out of the spoils of his thieving, we must not call that charity.” (Dante Alighieri, Italian Poet)

Reasons to give 10% or more . . .

It will help provide the means to keep your pastor(s) and missionaries in full-time Christian service. It has always been God’s plan that His servants are taken care of by His people. Many pastors and missionaries are strug-gling financially or are even leaving the ministry because of a lack of ade-quate finances. Your faithful giving can make sure this does not happen among the pastors or missionaries you know. (I Corinthians 9:9-11, 14; I Timothy 5:17-18; III John 5-8; Philippians 4:15-19; Galatians 6:6)

For the safe-

ty and security of eve-ryone, your backpack or bag may be inspected.

Thanks for your cooper-ation!

Help FBC Meet Its Budget

We appreciate your faithful giving to FBC and its ministries.

God is doing many good things at our church. Pray for the economy in America.

We need $24,340.00 each week to meet our budget.

Sound, Lighting, Media and Camera Stations for all three morning services, as well as our evening service. If you have a desire to serve our Lord Jesus in these areas, we need you greatly. Our worship services cannot happen without dedicated volunteers to serve these vital tech positions. We will train you on whichever tech station you would like to serve.

Angel Tree

The Angel Tree program is alive and well. Each of the 52 children which were taken from the tree this year will receive a clothing gift and a fun gift. Remember to

include a gift receipt with your gift and return it to the Church no later than TODAY. This act of

kindness will put a smile on a child’s face and hopefully impact him or her for years. Please pray that this very important program will bless many unfortunate children.

Team Leaders Needed in Skylight Café

Along with the normal operational duties, you would need to be able to pick-up the bagels and doughnuts on Sunday mornings before opening the Café.

Let's Help This Christmas … FBC

Families Need Help!

There are a number of families in our church who face "monthly painful challenges." Hardship has become a way of life for these families. But all of these families

serve God with a smile among us. They work hard. They purpose to pay their bills on time. Lazy, no. No scams here. But no savings. Some families are younger. Some are older. Red, yellow, black and white and they all need some help at Christmas. Some families struggle every month to make medical payments on major medical expenses. Some families work part-time as they constantly look for full-time employment. From big families to families of one. Some face the loss of their rental home and some contemplate being homeless. Some live paycheck to paycheck on part-time wages. Some walk or ride the bus. Some families have one car. Some have no insurance.

We would like to help 20 low income families in our church with some extra money at Thanksgiving or at Christmas. If you know of a family who is facing some special needs, please contact Pastor and give him your recommendation.

Starting now and until Christmas, please give a check marked "Thanks Jesus." Pray and give. The last opportunity to give to this is at our three Christmas Eve Services on Tuesday, December 24, at 4:00, 6:00 and 8:00 pm.

Intentional Protection of

FBC – Tempe and God’s People

1. Many churches in recent years have added a “Security Team” on Sunday and this is true of FBC. Thank you Mark Bernier and the FBC Security Team.

2. All volunteers who serve with or near children need a background check and pass a screening check. Thanks to the Church Staff who implement this on a daily basis. This is a great way to protect everyone.

3. Many churches and non-profit organizations in America are involved in legal challenges resulting in lawsuits. Some of these lawsuits / insurance claims are legitimate but some are not. Pray for wisdom for the FBC church leaders. Thank you God because we have not had any lawsuits and no threats of lawsuits.

4. As a prevention measure please pray for the FBC Board and Finance Committee as it researches “The Campus Preservation Planning,” which many churches have successfully accomplished. The CPP separates First Baptist Church of Tempe, Inc., (the church) operations from its assets to protect those assets from uninsured, under-insured and uninsurable claims. The church would continue in all of its ministries, but holding / owning only the minimum amount of assets required by law. This would protect the church campus in the case of a catastrophic claim. The church campus would not be lost. See Pastor Roger for more information.

Pray for wisdom as the leaders of this church find ways to protect FBC and the people.

Thank you, Pastor Roger

Experience the Trip of a Lifetime . . .

Pastor Roger and Dianna would like to invite you

to join them on an incredible trip of a lifetime

to the Holy Land.

The dates for this trip are March 4-14, 2021.

On this trip they will be visiting Megiddo, Mt. Carmel (where Elijah prayed and defeated the prophets of Baal), Nazareth, Cana (where

Jesus performed the first miracle), the Sea of Galilee (where you will take a ride in a wooden “Jesus Boat”), the Mount of Beatitudes,

Gideon Springs, Bethlehem (the birthplace of Jesus), Jerusalem, the Mount of Olives (there you will see a breathtaking view of the Holy

City), the Garden of Gethsemane, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the empty Garden Tomb (where you will celebrate communion), the

Dead Sea (swim and float which is 1,388 feet below sea level) and much much more!

Please fill this out and drop it in the offering plate.

Yes, I/We are interested and would like more information on visiting the Holy Land with Pastor Roger and Dianna in March 2021!

Signed ____________________________________________ Cell Number _______________________________________ Email address ______________________________________

Would you like to journey to Israel and experience the wonder of the Bible with Pastor Roger and Dianna Ball as your tour guides?

There is no place quite like it in the entire world. This is the only way to experience the wonder of this unique place.

Join Pastor Roger and Dianna on a spiritual journey focusing on the life and times of Jesus, walking where Jesus walked. Imagine yourself in Galilee

and also in Capernaum (referred to as Jesus' home town), where He began His ministry and recruited His first disciple. Imagine standing on the Mt. of

Beatitudes and make believe you are listening to the Lord preach the Sermon on the Mount. Submerge yourself in the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. Continue on to the City of Jerusalem and

walk the Stations of the Cross on the Via Dolorosa, where you can take time to reflect the Lord's sacrifice for all of us and then what an incredible moment when you stand on the Mt. of Olives in Jerusalem where Jesus

ascended to Heaven.

This trip is being planned for March 3-13, 2022.

Please fill this out and drop it in the offering plate.

Yes, I/We are interested and would like more information on visiting the Holy Land with Pastor Roger and Dianna in March 2022!
