"Countdown to Zero!" is the new name for "Faithfully Rebuilding Together", the church's outstanding mortgage for renovations completed in the Worship Center in the fIrst few years of this decade. Our goal is to pay down the balance through monthly contributions, special offerings, and donations at fellowship meals. If you would like to make sacrificial gifts toward paying off the principal balance, please place your contribution in the envelope marked Faithfully Rebuilding Together" and place in the offering plate or "Chest of Joash" (wooden box in front of the sound booth). The fIrst Sunday of the month is "Countdown to Zero!" Sunday. We ask every person who calls FHBC their home church to put $1 in the "Chest of Joash" regardless of your present commitment.
