To kick off this year's Lenten series, our Ash Wednesday sermon discussed "God's Will and God's Promise." With this Sunday's sermon AT 10:15 in ONE AND ALL we will continue more deeply into our exploration of God's will with, "God's Will and Our Inadequacy." The scripture passage: Exodus 2:11-15
What is happening at 9:00? It is Youth Sunday! By now you have seen and likely received an invitation of some form to this Youth-led service, where we celebrate the fact that all have A Place at the Table. Music and reflections promise to be meaningful and you will delight in how God is working in the lives of our Youth. The Chancel Choir will participate in this service, as well! Invite a friend!
You are doing a wonderful job of welcoming others to FCC! Continue to bring those visitors, and make the enticement of donuts or a light breakfast at 10:15 part of the invitation.
This month we are collecting for
Center For Hope Food Pantry. Non-perishable food items needed include rice, rice dinners, potato dinners, pasta and sauce, Hamburger Helper, dinner meals, cereal, and pull-top canned vegetables and fruit.
This Food Pantry does a great job helping people!
