We thank these for accepting the call to service and ask that all members be in prayer for God's guidance for this committee and for us all in this process.

We are always welcoming volunteers to our various programs.  Whether its assisting in the pre-school Sunday School class, rocking babies in the nursery, serving on a Wednesday evening meal team, card writing, assisting seniors, coordinating youth activities, or working with technology (presentations, online streaming, sound systems), we can use your help.  It's a great way to serve in the Lord's work and to get to know other believers.  Call the church office, email us at fbcodem@aol.com, or visit with our Deacons or any church members.
