Sundays in Advent at FBC and HABC

Advent season is upon as we wait with anticipation for the celebration of our Lord Jesus' birth. Friendship Baptist Church (FBC) and Holmes Avenue Baptist Church (HABC) invites CBA families to worship with them every Sunday for special advent messages leading up to Christmas. Join FBC or HABC at 11:00 am. You can listen to sermons here: https://www.friendshiptoday.org/.

Romans 8:24-25: For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

Romans 15:13: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Friendship Baptist Church
Bilingual services are held in English and Spanish on the 1st and 3rd Sunday every month. On all other Sundays, Pastor Mark Timmons leads the English-language service and Pastor Luis Carreon leads a Spanish-language service.  A fun and engaging children's program is held during the service.  Find out more by emailing Pastor Mark directly (mtimmons@friendshiptoday.org), calling FBC (843-225-1434), or going to the FBC website. Each of the services also stream on Facebook Live. FBC is celebrating 80 years this year! Visit the FBC FB page for birthday celebration photos.
