The Word of God is inerrant, immutable, and more than just another book. Parents present their second graders a copy of the Bible during this milestone event. This presentation occurs before the church family during our 10:45am worship service with a special gathering at 9:15am for parents and children.

Our church members’ annual meeting will occur prior to our morning worship service in the worship center. The agenda is set and church members will be voting by ballot on the 2025 church budget, 2025 leadership teams, and all other items on the business agenda.

We encourage members of FBCOP to love where we live on October 31 by intentionally and strategically using the day to meet neighbors, serve them, and either begin or grow relationships. People matter and this day provides an opportunity to show love to neighbor and to begin or continue gospel conversations with them. So, there is no event on the church property this evening, but there will be many events with the church as our family members are “being the church” where they live.

HOW TO LOVE WHERE WE LIVE ON OCTOBER 31…

1. Pray for those in your neighborhood. Pray for new relationships and for existing ones to grow.

2. Be intentional. Be real. Be the neighbor others want.

3. Don’t let Halloween be the only time you engage with your neighbors intentionally. Be prepared to have gospel conversations.

PLEASE DON’T…

• Turn off your porch light as a protest to the holiday.

• Hand out Bible tracts instead of candy.

• Hand out candy alternatives (toothbrush, fruit, healthy snacks.) Let parents determine.

• Scare children or prank people as they come to your house.

SOME IDEAS…

• Provide bottled water, soft drinks, or hot chocolate to parents.

• If you live on cul-de-sac, work with your neighbors to provide a group event.

• Create a photo booth. Don’t take pics on your phone, but provide a “selfie booth.”

• Carpool with neighbors to places that are providing large events.

• Give out glowsticks or glow-in-the dark necklaces in addition to candy.

• Give out the good candy. Ask a kid.

AFTERWARD…

• HELP CLEAN UP - You may have that neighbor who goes all out with decorations. Offer to help with the clean up or taking down of the items.

• BE A FRIEND - You may meet neighbors you have lived near for a while. Learn their names and seek ways to serve them. Love your neighbors, but not as a project. Live out your faith.

Our Parent/Child Dedication service is Milestone 1 for families.. This family dedication service is preceded by a one-hour class led by one of our pastors the week prior. We seek to help parents and guardians lead as primary disciple-makers in the home and this service is a part of that strategy. This is a milestone with the church body and thus only parents/guardians who are members of the church participate.

We will gather on Christmas Eve at 6pm to worship the Lord and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. This is a family service, so no separate child-care is available. Join us and bring the entire family as we celebrate Christmas together.

Seven pastors each preaching seven-minute sermons on the seven final sayings of Christ from the cross.

Our high school senior summit is an annual family equipping event that takes place before high school graduation. Parents, pastors, and student leaders share a meal together. Students will be charged by our student ministry staff as they close this chapter of life and embark on the next.

The focal point of the Senior Summit is a time for parents to read their pre-written blessing over them. We provide resources for families to lead in this time as they prepare for the following Sunday’s high school graduate recognition.

Milestone 6 takes place on Sunday morning. During this service, along with the recognition prior, we thank God for our high school graduates and recognize them at the beginning of our worship service, with a time of prayer and public blessing.
