How to assist the people affected by Disasters
There are many people suffering right now. Prayers are always appreciated and needed however, here are some links sharing what is being done and how to offer help if you are so inclined. Thank you

Connecting Children in Worship
Starting today, we have supplies for children and youth to help engage with the worship service. Look for a table in Barker Hall with busy bags and crayons for younger children, along with activity sheets connecting to the themes of worship that Sunday. Journals with writing prompts will be available, and for those who listen best while having something to do with their hands, a basket of ‘fidget’ toys will be available.
Nursery care remains available throughout the service for infants and toddlers, please ask an usher or greeter for information.
Volunteer Opportunity
Faith in Action is seeking individuals or teams to get out in the fresh air during the 2nd and 3rd weeks of November to rake care receivers’ yards. We will be focusing on the weekends of Nov.9/10th and Nov.16/17th, but your group chooses when to do the raking or leaf blowing – it does not have to be on the weekend. Faith in Action will supply the names and contact information of older adults who have requested this service. Volunteer leaf rakers/groups should plan to bring their own rakes, blowers and gloves. Tarps are also helpful. To sign up contact Stacy or 309-827-7780
Read Through the Bible
On the last Sunday of each month, we will have a 6 pm (Zoom) check-in to discuss the readings, your observations and questions. Don’t forget to send in your questions to brian@fbcblm.org
