Worship This Weekend

Our February sermon series continues this Sunday.  The series, "First Followers," looks at the calling of Jesus' first disciples. We're exploring what these individuals did when they encountered Jesus, and what we can learn from them.  Hear Rev. Jim Warren preach at both the 9:00 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. services.
  
This week, Philip invites Nathanael to "come and see" Jesus. We are to continue inviting others to experience Jesus. The sermon title:  Come and See Some More.  The scripture:  John 1:43-51

The Chancel Choir is preparing a gift of music you won't want to miss.  Hear them sing at the 9:00 a.m. traditional service.   Our One and All band will have your toes tapping at the 10:15 a.m. progressive service.  Why not invite a friend to experience this worship service with you?  Come and enjoy a light breakfast -- One and All happens in Fellowship Hall, a casual environment where you can eat as you worship.

The Week of Compassion offering will be accepted this Sunday and next.

Can't attend this Sunday?  Tune in at 9:00 a.m.on our Facebook Page, or on our website ( www.blmfcc.com), to see a live stream of the traditional service!  You can watch  and worship along with folks at FCC.  Be sure to tell your friends!
