• Annual GISD Military Appreciation Football Game
  

  North Fort Hood Ministry Tailgate Party

  Next up on our NFH Ministry docket is the opportunity to host a Tailgate meal for up to 300 soldiers being permitted to attend the Annual GISD Military Appreciation Football Game on 18 October. We have again been granted McKamie Stadium proximity by our local Masonic Lodge adjacent empty lot. We are planning a quick and easy Tailgate Meal Menu utilizing stored food items remaining from the 23 June HOT Salute, including sausages for wraps, chips, sodas, bottled water, and Blue Bell Ice Creams. We also have remaining funds as well to purchase any additional entree, if desired, such as burger supplies should we have ample grillers and servers be able to prepare. Of course, as always, we hope to supply the soldiers with home baked cookies and brownies to enjoy with their meal and carry with the to the game and back to their barracks.

  50. Masonic Lodge Main St.

• A GIVING HEART - HELPING FURTHER HIS KINGDOM
  

  WELCOME TO FBC GATESVILLE’S ONLINE GIVING SERVICE

  Online giving is a safe and easy way to support the ministries of FBC Gatesville. This system enables you to support the church with your tithes and offerings. You can also designate funds online to different ministries and special events.

  Five Simple Steps

  1. Click on “Give Online” on the left panel of the church website: www.firstbaptistgatesville.com.
  2. Create your online profile (after it is created, you just log in every other time).
  3. Click on “Add Transaction”.
  4. Put your dollar amount in the area or areas of choice. Don’t forget to choose frequency and date. Click “Continue”.

  5. Choose: Credit/Debit Card, Checking Account or Savings Account. Under “Optional” you may choose to check “Optional” to give an additional % to help offset the credit/debit card processing fee that the church will have to pay. Click “Process”. You will receive an email receipt of your donation transaction or can printout your donation summary after the transaction for your records. The church will also receive a report of your transaction.

  BENEFITS

  There are several benefits to online giving for both you and the church.

  • First Fruits – In Proverbs 3:9 we are taught to honor the Lord with the “First Fruits” of our labor. By setting up a recurring contribution that is scheduled to come out of your account on the day you specify you can ensure that your First Fruits are given back to God.
  • Simplicity – You will not need to remember if you gave this month or send in your offering checks when you are out of town.
  • Security – Online giving is more secure than giving with a check in that an electronic gift can’t be lost or stolen.
  • Donation History – You can look at your donation and transaction history at any time.
  • Helping FBC Gatesville – Online contributions require less processing from our administrative staff since the information is logged and deposited automatically.
