| FBCB is a community which emphasizes
respect and love for all. I don't have to feel like I compromise my integrity
to worship here. -- A Catholic Member |
|
| FBCB means to me. . . a place where I enjoy interesting and uplifting sermons. A place with fun social events. | |
| FBCB is loving and
inclusive. It has been enriched and blessed by the presence and talents of
those formerly excluded from organized religion. Its time of prayer promotes
thanksgiving for blessings and concern for those with problems or having
difficulties.
-- ECL, a long-time member in her 70s, who is thankful for continuing opportunities for growth |

| The people in church show us love and
make us feel warm, even though we are deaf. FBCB helps us keep up with our
faith. -- Carmen | |
| People dress in regular clothes! | |
| FBCB means to me . . . Good fellowship. Good guardianship. | |
| I like the stories in Sunday School. I
like playing with the steam shovel and the dump truck in class. I like my
friend and the cookies.

| FBCB means to me . . .
many memories. When I joined the church over 50 years ago, I felt old because
only graduate students were in my age range. Now that I am old, it is the
church that my parents attended, the church where my younger brother was
married, where I was married, and the place where my other brother met his wife.
I remember when my friends began to retire from work and move away to be with
family members. There have been many farewells. --A longtime older member | |
| For many years, FBCB has
meant a lot of things to me. But one of the most important, and one that we are
not likely to find in very many churches yet, is that my life-partner Rita and I
are welcomed, affirmed, and celebrated here, individually and as a couple, for
all of who we are. Praise God! --Susan |
