<p>Really?  The community of believers or body of Christ, in large part, is what we make of it.  If you&#8217;re tired of not knowing the people around you, feel disconnected and some what ambivilent about the church &#8211; come and join in with us for a Sunday Night Dinner.  <strong><em>The goals are simple &#8211; break bread, pray and fellowship together.</em></strong>  The choice is yours. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Sunday Mornings are a Hard Time for Many to Meaningfully Connect</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sunday mornings are busy for many people.  They&#8217;re doing just about all they can, especially if they have more than one child, to get to the building and into worship.  Its hard to connect in that environment when your spouse is out warming up the car, your kids are dropping off all their art work, coats, Bibles and snack wrappers with you &#8211; all while you&#8217;re trying to have a conversation of meaning with another person.  That&#8217;s real life. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, take a deep breath &#8211; relax &#8211; put on some comfortable clothes and sit down to a meal with some folks who love Jesus and are trying to figure out life - just like you. </p>
<p><strong>FAQ:</strong></p>
<p>Is this just a family affair?  What if I am single, divorced and with kids or a teen myself?  Where do I fit in?  Just like any other family &#8211; you need to be here!  You are wanted around these tables!  The groups are not set up by family or single status.  They&#8217;re arranged to mix people up and get them to know one another.  We have singles, divorced, kids, no kids and even teens coming and joining in.  There is a place for everyone at this table!</p>
<p>What if I don&#8217;t have a place to host dinner?  Simple, let the main office know when you sign up and you&#8217;ll be in a group with people who have the space available.  Some groups go out to eat, some groups do BBQ&#8217;s at local parks when the weather is good and many groups simply meet in homes or apartments and do a pot-luck style meal together.</p>
<p>Can I invite a friend?  Absolutely!</p>

<p>Its a simple affair of manly foods including bacon, eggs and hashbrowns. For those who are health conscious &#8211; there may be fruit or if you&#8217;re really lucky yogurt.</p>
<p>Asking for a $5.00 donation to off set costs = the guys at ECF are doing all the cooking (can it get any easier?)!</p>
<p>See you then!</p>

<p><strong>March 17,</strong> <a title="Mike Bradley Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/michaelkbradley?fref=ts">Mike and June Bradley </a>are missionaries with ABWE and have been supported by FBC for over 15 years.  They have raised two children in the UK and have been involved in the planting of at least 2 churches and seeing them move to become self supporting and Pastored by British nationals.  They are extensively involved in making disciples through relationships and Christ centered hospitality.  Mike has been with us about 4 years ago, so we welcome both him and his wife June into our fellowship to hear about what God has been doing in and through their lives.</p>
<p><strong>March 24</strong>, FBC will celebrate Palm Sunday in preparation for Easter.  Marking the triumphal entry in to the ancient city of Jerusalem and marking the beginning of what many know as Holy Week, we will have palm leafs for children and adults alike and ponder the meaning of redemption together!</p>
<p><strong>March 29</strong>, FBC will join in worship with Eastside Christian Fellowship, Christ Church of Kirkland, Elevation Church and Life Community Church to observe Good Friday.  We will all meet at <a title="Christ Church Location" href="http://www.cckirkland.org/about/location/">Christ Church </a>and begin worshipping together at 7:00 pm.</p>
<p><strong>March 31</strong>, FBC will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  The resurrection &#8211; often called the capstone of Christianity will be explored, celebrated and Jesus Christ will be worshipped in word, deed and song.  O death, where is your sting?  He is risen!  Praise and glory belongs to God our only wise and heavenly Father!</p>
