Weekly FCC Update

What a great time to be a part of First Christian Church. There is a great excitement in the air as our calendar is full of ministry and fellowship opportunities. So here we go……..

Starting this Sunday, October 19th we will begin a month long series on Stewardship entitled “Stepping Up”. The word Stewardship often makes us uncomfortable as the first thing that comes to mind is money. However, stewardship is so much more than money and that is why I encourage everyone to be here each Sunday as we look at what stewardship really is. We will be focusing our attention on Time, Talents, Earth, and Treasures. Stay tuned for more information for upcoming events that will be part of our Stewardship month.

Also this Sunday, after a special fellowship hour, there will be a presentation for the adults of the church on the Children Worship & Wonder program. This program is a Montessori based program that allows children from the ages of 3 to those in the fifth grade to hear Bible stories and learn about God while experiencing the presence of God. The stories are told in a way that allows the listeners to enter into the stories and form responses from their own life experiences. Following the presentation we will take time to discern if this is a ministry that God is calling us to begin here at First Christian Church.

If you have not heard it said yet, “Everything is happening on the 19th.” Also this Sunday at 5:30 PM is the youth bonfire at the Plaster’s new home. Directions are available at the church.

In addition to the bonfire, First Christian Church has also been invited as new neighbors to attend the Country Club Estates Neighborhood Association’s picnic this Sunday at 4:30 PM. More information is available on the bulletin board at the church. IF you may be interested, please notify Bill McMillan and let him know you will be attending so that he can give those in charge an idea of how many to expect. Let us join our new neighbors in a time of fellowship and show our appreciation for their hospitality.

On Sunday afternoon October 26th, we will be going golfing. Everyone is invited to join and for those of you who are non-golfers, we are in desperate need of caddies. A sign up sheet is on the bulletin board or contact Rex Harris for more information.

Finally, beginning Monday November 3, we will begin a small group study on the Psalms. There is an afternoon group that will meet at the church at 1:00PM each Monday and one that will be meeting at the church at 6:30PM. If you are interested, there is still time to sign up and if Monday’s are not good for you I am more than willing to start a third group to accommodate the schedules of others. For more information, please see me by October 26th so the books can be ordered.

Like I said, it is a great time to be a part of First Christian Church. Make sure to mark your calendars for these ministry and fellowship opportunities and share this excitement with everyone you know. May God bless each of you in all that you do.
