Spring Festival

On April 25th from 9:30-11:00 am, there will be an incredible festival that highlights the many cultures and countries represented in FBCA’s International Friends ministry.  This festival includes an elaborate display of traditional dress and food from around the world.  Everyone is invited and all are welcome.  This is not only a great way to learn about other countries and beautiful traditions but an undeniable opportunity to start a friendship.

The festival will begin around 9:30 AM in the fellowship hall.  There will be a beautiful fashion show where individuals can wear some traditional dress from their home country.  After the fashion show people will be free to visit various booths decorated with food and designs that represent different parts of the world.  Spread the word and make sure you come by to see the Spring Festival.
