First Farragut family, I'm thrilled to tell you about an exciting time of worship we're going to experience together
:
For the month of December, which includes all of the Advent Season and the one following Sunday, we are going to worship together, at 10:00 a.m. Our worship will be
led by a variety of our worship leaders, including the Adult Choir, Praise Band and our Pianist/Organist David Morgan.
We are excited to have our congregation come together in this special season around the holidays and family gatherings, worshipping as one, larger congregation. We will be putting an emphasis on the word "Embrace" this year, as we embrace each other in this community of faith where God has placed each of us, and our themes for the individual Sundays are as follows:
December 3 - Embrace Hope (featuring the Choir's Christmas Cantata)
December 10 - Embrace Peace
December 17 - Embrace Joy
December 24 - Embrace Love
December 31 - Embrace Christ
Sunday School classes have the option of meeting throughout the month before or after worship. Children's Sunday school will not be offered throughout December but if your class desires childcare on the 10th or 17th while you have Sunday school please let Paige Morgan know what time you will be meeting.
The church staff, worship leaders, and Church Council are all excited to bring you this opportunity, and we pray that you will join us as we experience the anticipation of our coming King in worship together.
Blessings,
Chuck

Senior Mobile Meals Needs Leader
|
Once each month for several years, we (along with several other churches) have  prepared meals for seniors that receive meals durin
g the week but not on weekends. We currently have someone who is willing to lead this group of great and eager volunteers through December. After that, unless a leader is found, we will no longer continue this ministry. The hardest part of this leadership is recruiting volunteers and they are already in place. Interested? Ask ALVIN in person or email Alvin
for the rest of the story.
