3. Gardner Campus Update
A core group of people have been meeting at Gardner for a little while now studying together and working on the building in preparation of our launching a new campus there later this year. We will be signing the papers to take possession of the property that will be come our Gardner Campus very soon. With that in mind we need to name the campus. The name will be very important because it will inform the community about who we are and what we are about. After much discussion, prayer and give the public access to the possibilities, the staff has narrowed the choices to two: "Celebrate Community Church" and "Connections Community Church". Now we'd like your input. Call or email Leann Carrick and let her know which of the two you prefer. Leann can be reached at 913-764-7088 x 302 or leanncarrick.fbc@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

SERVE

Want an easy, fun and very important way of serving at FBC? This serving opportunity is for you - we are looking for greeters for both services. Research shows that first time visitors to a church start deciding whether or not they will return, the minute the pull in the driveway and that they will make a decision about returning before they ever hear a note of music or the sermon. That means that how well they are greeted and made to feel welcome is vital in their decision to come back. If you would like to be part of this ministry please contact Sheri Drake via email at sheridrake27@gmail.com
