Worship This Weekend
FCC Stained Glass
  
This Sunday Rev. Neal Kentch will be preaching at both services on Mark 1:29-39.  His sermon title:  He Raised Her Up. 
  
Don't miss the special music at the 9:00 a.m. traditional service, which will be a piano duet by Lou Ann Fillingham and Becky White!  Come enjoy a complimentary light breakfast at the 10:15 a.m. One and All progressive service while you sing along with the band.  That service is in Fellowship Hall, and it is a great choice for a friend who is visiting FCC for the first time.    
   
food_drive_girl.jpg Gifts for Another Table:
We will continue to collect items for the Ministry and More food pantry, to whom we didn't deliver much in June. Let's bless them greatly with a large donation at the end of July.  Won't you bring a couple of items?  Needed are rice and rice dinners, potato dinners, pasta of any kind, pasta sauce, Hamburger Helper, dinner meals, cereal, mashed/boxed potatoes, and canned fruits and vegetables. Thank you!
