What’s New?

I have a friend from college that would always greet me with the phrase “What’s New?” Maybe you are asking the same question about what’s new at FCC. For instance, we used to not have a preschool, but now we have one that's been running for months. We used to not have a Service Planning Team, but now it meets quarterly to coordinate the morning worship service to be more impactful in sharing the good news about Jesus. We used to not have a Strategic Development Team, but now we have one working on how to better communicate our mission, vision, and values to those inside and outside the church. We have never had a Cottage Prayer Fellowship experience, but since we have, people want to do it again. We also have a new schedule coming up in our Children's Ministry department on Sunday mornings to help teach our children God's Word. We also are having new discussions about how we can reach out into our community and around the world to help build God's Kingdom.



So “What’s New?” We are bringing into focus the things that God wants us to do as His church as we move forward into the future, and how He will uniquely use FCC for His Glory. Please pray for that movement and how you can be a part of it.



In Him,

Mike W.
