 We have designated the week of June 10-17 as the week of prayer for Fox Valley Baptist Association missions. The week will conclude with Father's Day. We ask that each of our churches pray for the work  our churches and the association   carry out in the Fox Valley area. We also ask that our churches take up an offering on Father's Day to support the work of the association. Specifically, the funds collected will go to paying travel expenses, honorariums, and other expenses incurred in bringing great speakers and conference leaders to our Great Things Leadership Conference in November. Details of the conference will be posted  later.
