1 Can of Pumpkin Pie mix
1 Can of Cranberry Sauce

Updating the Directory
The office is in the process of updating the FBC Directory. Please take a moment to look at your entry in the draft of the directory located in the narthex, If that information is not correct, or if you are not listed, and would like to be, please fill out a member card that will be nearby and place it into the basket provided. The new directory will be released in October. Contact the office, if you need to check your entry over the phone, email, or if you have questions.
World Mission Offering
In September, you have the opportunity to support ABC International Ministries. You can pray for the Global Servants FBC supports, Jon and Amanda Good, Katie and Taku Longkumer and Sue Hegarty. You can reflect daily on the messages offered in the eLINK each week. You can give financial support.

Technical Notes on the Worship Livestream:
* Recordings of the worship service are usually available on our YouTube Channel immediately after the service ends.
In the event of livestream disruptions:
* Try completely exiting the program/tab or app and the rejoining from the front page of the website or using this link: https://www.youtube.com/user/FBCBloomingtonIL/live
* Check the front page of our website or the FBC Facebook page. We will post information and updates there on what happened and how to rejoin.
* On a brighter note: did you know that there are lots of ways to watch our church services and other videos on your TV? If you have internet access and either a smart TV or other device connected to your TV (like Roku, Amazon Fire, TIVO, PC, etc.), you can use a built-in YouTube player to access our YouTube Channel – just look for First Baptist Church Bloomington. Chatting during services will still require a separate computing or mobile device. Call or email the church if you’d like technical support in getting this set up.
