Rev. Ryan Tucker
Senior Pastor
~ 5 Years of Service ~
May 1, 2017
May 1 is Ryan Tucker’s 5th anniversary as Senior Pastor. Our church is blessed by his leadership, spiritual guidance, dedication, & compassion. We look forward to what God has
in store for FBCO with Ryan as our shepherd. Congratulations, Ryan, & thanks for all you do for FBC.
Improvements at the FLC: There have been lots of updates & improvements made at the FLC. Many of the trees have been trimmed & the grounds have been cleaned thanks to those who volunteered their time for our church work day. The softball infield has been reconditioned, but the place where the improvements are most notable has to be the pool. The pool itself has been completely resurfaced & an awning has been added for shade. If you would like to check out the “new pool”, you can find the hours listed below. We’ll have a celebration to open the “new pool” on Sunday, June 4. Pool Hours: Sunday: 1 - 5 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, & Saturday: 10 - 8 Wednesday: 10 - 5
