FAQ:

Why May 6th, isn’t that Toad Suck weekend?

-Yes.  Typically we have FOTR the third Sunday in May.  However, this year Conway Public Schools is holding their graduation in Little Rock (May 13th is Mother’s Day & May 27th is Memorial day).

Why so many mentions of ‘headless’ shrimp?

-Last years feedback showed a favoring to shrimp being headless.  So this year heads are rolling.  We have ordered headless shrimp.

Do I have to have a ticket to attend FOTR?

-No.  If you want to pack a sack dinner or bring your own food and drink, come on out and enjoy the afternoon with us!  To get a plate of food at the event; however, you need to have purchased a ticket (this way we ensure we have food for everyone who bought a ticket).

What is the best way to make this an outreach event for me?

-Buy a ticket or two and give it to a co-worker, friend or neighbor.  Bring them out to enjoy the food, live entertainment & fellowship.  Use the time to share the Gospel in a friendly atmosphere!  We would love to see FOTR used as a tool for you to reach out to people around you!

Fellowship Bible Church of Conway is hosting an Easter experience called “Journey to the Cross.” This unique journey offers individuals the opportunity to walk through seven stations designed to allow the person to experience a little of what Jesus Christ’s final week on earth was like. Andy Patterson, who is on staff at FBC and the leader of “Journey” says, “Many people who took the journey told me it was the first time they had experienced what Christ endured and it enabled them to grasp the significance of Easter personally.”

The dates are always the same, with the “Journey” opening on the Tuesday before Easter and closing on Good Friday. This year that makes it open April 3rd through April 6nd and hours are from 8am to 8pm. “Journey to the Cross” is open to the entire community. At least 500 people experienced ”Journey” in 2011 and Fellowship hopes for even more in 2012.
