Winter – Session 3
Proclaimed
Jesus brings salvation to all who trust in Him.
LUKE 2:4-19
Some birth announcements are as simple as a phone call; others involve grand proclamations. When most of us were born, each branch of our extended family was likely notified and given the vital information—weight, length, and the name. On the other hand, birth announcements of royalty come as major proclamations. After all, these are potentially future kings and queens. The birth announcement of Jesus, the King of kings, was different from what anyone might imagine. His announcement included a blending of the ordinary with the heralding of royalty.
How does your family make birth announcements? What do the birth announcements reveal about the family expectations for that child?
Teacher: Kreg Bryant

Rotating Worship Schedule for Adult Bible Study Classes
We are asking each of our Adult Bible Study Classes to rotate to one of our designated remote worship areas (either the Gym or the LOFT) once per month during Worship Service times. This only affects the Worship Service times (8:30 and 11:00 a.m.) and does not affect your Sunday school class time or location. This rotation schedule allows for adequate social distancing during Worship Service times. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
https://www.fbckeller.org/ministries/adult-discipleship/sunday-morningsHealth and Safety Policy
Our goal is to provide a safe, fully staffed environment in which to teach our children the truth of God’s Word. Our core policies, upon which we will be operating, are posted on our website. Thank you for your patience, service, and love for one another during these unique days.
