Sermon Title: "You're Welcome"

40 "Whoever welcomes you welcomes me,
and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 
41 Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet
will receive a prophet's reward;
and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person
will receive the reward of the righteous; 
42 and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones
in the name of a disciple-truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward."

Crisis Control Ministry

My Christian Friends!

Isn't it amazing how quickly the months pass when we are at home much of time?
Warm weather has arrived along with the higher  humidity. Some are taking trips to the mountains or the beach, trying to make life a little more like normal. 

"Normal" for some folks is already here.

Their cupboards are empty or hold very little to feed the family. Children are home from school... They are always hungry from playing outside and getting that much needed exercise. Crisis Control Ministry is requesting PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY for their food gift this month.  Yes, these are the same items that our church furnishes New Communion. Please don't forget one and give to the other.

When you are at the grocery, how about buying twice the amount because PB & J is a staple food in every household whether it be creamy or crunchy, jelly or jam. Everybody likes to see it in their kitchen!

Please place it at the double doors'  entrance where our mailbox is on the covered sidewalk parallel with FCC's parking lot. Mark it for CCM.  I don't know another church in our city that is as  generous as you. I thank you on behalf of so many!
 
Much love,
Becky Minnix
Christian Action Ministry
First Christian Friends,

With thankful hearts,
let us all welcome July!

We are happy to report that we're still in operation, in solidarity with our community,  as we have provided food and other needs during this pandemic!

We continue to be grateful for every bit of your support! Please keep bringing your peanut butter & jelly donations! Please leave any donations outside of the church's office if someone is not there.
 
We ask for your prayers, as we continue to put faith in action, through the practice of shared abundance, with our neighbors in Winston Salem!

Peace and continued shared abundance,
Rev. David Harrison Jr. and Paul Gillespie
 #sharedabundance #hungersucks

A special word of thanks to all of our volunteers! 
Without you, none of this would be possible!

If you would like to volunteer please contact Paul or David for more information.

Samaritan Ministries

The shelter has a year-round list of needs that are always appreciated. They especially have shortages of men's deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, and socks.  Food items are canned meats and #10 size canned fruits, vegetables and applesauce. Please drop your donations off under the shelter next to FCC's parking lot, at our double doors with the mailbox.
