News and Upcoming Events

Beginning on March 22 and running through April 26 the Pilgrims class (room S-304) will view Amy-Jill Levine’s video series on the Gospel of John, led by Tommye Morris. We will watch these short videos during the 10:00AM hour and then have small group discussions. With her trademark wit and insight, Levine guides readers through the Gospel of John by placing its stories in their original context and considering how they are interpreted today.

Join us in the Activities Center from 6:00-8:00 pm on Sunday, April 19th for dinner, Bible study, an open gym, games, and a study space. Friends are welcome, too! Reach out to Zach Mason (zmason@fbcdecatur.com) with questions, and we’ll see you there!

FBCD will be having its next Justice and Advocacy Prayer Night on Thursday, April 16, from 6:00-7:30pm. We will have a special guest speaker from Christians Against Christian Nationalism who will share briefly about the work that they do. As always, there will be a time to lift up prayer concerns for our community and our world. If you find yourself feeling troubled or overwhelmed by what’s happening in the world and often wonder, “What can I do?”—this prayer group is for you.

If you plan on attending, please register with Sarah Lewis.
