First Congregational Church of Holden

Week of

Sunday, August 7

Worship 10:00am

Dear church family,

It’ll be another hot one this Sunday, so please good wisdom and caution when considering whether to attend! We’ll have cold water and our fans will be running per usual.

This week we’ll be discussing the apostle Paul’s time in Athens; the intellectual heart of the Roman Empire. Could one man stand against the foremost minds in the city and their towering idols? Join us as we dive into God’s Word, God’s truth, and how the Spirit equips us to stand tall and bear witness.

Love in Christ, Pastor Josh

Church Office will be closed this week

• Who: Anyone, male or female, 16 or older, can play.

• Where: Davis Hill School, Jameson Rd, Holden.

Invite your friends. We are a friendly bunch just out to have fun, so don't worry if you don't have a glove, or if you haven't swung a bat in a while. Always best to have at least 18 players, but we get creative with less.
