2020 Calendar (includes links for upcoming events)

By

FCS is a growing, dynamic ministry.  For the last nine years (and 12 out of the last 15 years) we have had far more events than there are weeks in the year.  As we are limited by the hunting seasons for specific animals and birds we frequently have several events occurring simultaneously.  Details on events that will soon take place have dark blue hyperlinks.  We will not post details for events that are several months away as many details can change for such events.
