FBC-W BLOOD DRIVE 3/29

YOU STEPPED UP!

WE WERE SCHEDULED TO HAVE 11 DONATIONS DURING SUNDAY'S BLOOD DRIVE
BUT 21 PEOPLE STEPPED UP TO GIVE

Of those 21, 18 were eligible to give. That gave us 18 units of blood
and each unit helps three people. That means you helped 54 patients!

Thanks to FBC-W Members & The Community!

NO SUNDAY SERVICES

service cancelled

In keeping with the State of Emergency declared by Gov. Roy Cooper and public health officials regarding the Coronavirus outbreak, our Senior Pastor, Dr. Ricky A. Woods, and the Board of Deacons have prayerfully decided to err on the side of caution and suspend Sunday services until further notice. The church office also has been closed.

However, we will hold a smaller worship service on Wednesdays at 7pm.

A member of the Deacon Board will reach out to you with further communication and ongoing support. Feel free to contact the church office for further information (704-372-1075) or to email questions to info@fbcwest.org.

Please continue to make your financial contributions through online giving, by mail or dropping off your tithe and donations in the church mailbox.
