Don’t Miss Out On These Ministry Events!

Be sure to mark your calendar for all the focused ministry happenings coming your way. This Sunday be sure to attend “An Upbeat Prayer Concert” as the Body gathers at 3pm for one hour to pray for God’s leading and direction for future staffing and ministry at FCC.


Each week at FCC: Friday night service meets at 7pm; Sunday, Bible School meets at 9:15am and Sunday Service starts at 10:30am as we gather worship together.


Thursday October 31 our “Trunk or Treat” community outreach will be happening in the north parking lot from 4:30-6:00pm


November 3rd is Missions Sunday at FCC. Lynn Kent will bring “An Old-Fashioned Missions Sermon” along with messages from our foreign and domestic missionaries.


Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner so keep your eyes and ears tuned to all the dates and times to be involved in the life of the church.


All Eyes On Jesus!

  • God is good! ~ Leona
  • Randall & I went to Portland for the graduation at the rehab he was going to. It was an emotional day. He saw how his friends grew in Jesus Christ and personal growth. They welcomed him with open arms. Jesus' words were strong and his presence stronger. Please pray Randall goes back to rehab to overcome his addiction. ~ Bonnie
  • Please pray for helpers for our GNC's. It's just 11/2 hours a week to do one club. ~ Goodman's
  • Please pray for Jennifer as she needs to prioritize what needs to be done daily so we can get things done for clubs and OCC. ~ Joyce
  • God is so faithful. Every day I feel him meet my needs. ~ Sandy

LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

This is the last week to donate candy for FCCTD’S annual Trunk or Treat. Please place your candy in the box next to the fireplace in the Fireside Room. If you have candy to donate between Sunday and Thursday, October 31, please drop it off at the church office. Thank you again for your generosity! Through your giving, FCCTD is lighting up our community for Jesus. In addition to hot dogs, candy, and small toys, every family who attends will receive a copy of the Pumpkin Patch Parable, a beautiful children’s book that tells the Gospel story – JESUS, the Great Light of the World that shines in the darkness and saves us from our sins!

PUMPKIN PATCHES!

Thank you to the anonymous donor who bought every one of our CGCA Preschool students their very own pumpkin during our pumpkin patch field trip last week. Our students and their families were blessed and had a great time!

Have you picked a little pumpkin to pray for from our FCCTD pumpkin patch in the CGCA Preschool hallway downstairs?

As you go downstairs near the nursery, there is a white cubby shelf with two small buckets on top – one yellow bucket and one orange bucket. One holds paper pumpkins with student names on them for the preschool class (3’s) and the other holds paper pumpkins with student names on them for the Pre-K 4’s and 5’s class.


Please take one of these pumpkins home and pray for them! Not sure who the child is whose name you have drawn? Check out their picture on a pumpkin in the pumpkin patch! Thank you for praying for these little ones! The pumpkin patch will be up through Thanksgiving, so grab one – or two- paper pumpkins and begin

praying for your little pumpkin today!

WHAT WE BELIEVE...First Christian Church The Dalles is not affiliated with a denomination, instead choosing to be overseen by a team of elders. We consider the Bible to be the words of God, thus being incapable of error. As we seek a unified practice of our faith, we follow the teachings of the New Testament. We share communion each Sunday and follow the Biblical pattern for conversion. We support any who have accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord through belief, public confession of faith, baptism by immersion and continual obedience to Biblical standards of living. We hold firmly to essential doctrines but celebrate freedom in non-essentials as we seek to love God, love people, and make disciples who follow Jesus.
