Relay for Life
Thanks to all who helped make our FCC Relay for Life team a
tremendous success. We placed second in most money raised
by area churches with over $5900 contributed for cancer
research!
Our deepest gratitude goes to all team members and
participants in all of our fund raising events; from spring
festival to t- shirts & raffle tickets. We all had a great
time as we worked together and grew in fellowship.
Congratulations to Jo Ann Apperson, who’s name was drawn as
the winner of Charlie Busler’s painting, “Katrina’s
Magnolia.”
We are already looking forward to next year’s event and
working with you again.
Love in Christ,
Your Co-chairmen-
Steve Anderson, Jeff Holloway and Billy Moore

CMF Playground Tiles
Are you looking for a fun and worthwhile activity for your
children this summer? Well, we’ve got the perfect answer!
Simply go by the Cubby Hole on the corner of 9th Street and
23rd Ave. where you and your children can put your artistic
talents to work designing a 6”x 6” ceramic tile, which will
be permanently displayed on the wall in our new playground.
Adults are also invited to contribute their own designs of
artwork, bible verse, etc.
The cost is $20 each, payable at the Cubby Hole. This is a
fundraiser for our Christian Men’s Fellowship as we
continue to work to improve and make additions to our new
playground.
Meals for Habitat Workers
The women of the church will be providing special lunch
meals each weekday during the three weeks (possibly four)
beginning June 25th for groups that will be coming in from
out of state to work on our habitat house. I will contact
the group circles to be in charge of a week. Please
contact me to volunteer during those weeks, but I will be
out of town until Friday, June 16th.
Also, supplies for sandwiches, snacks, and drinks will be
bought and placed in the kitchen of the church for use by
our local church members who work through the lunch hour
during these next two weeks beginning June 12th. These
supplies will be replenished as needed, and will serve to
help those who need a break during the hot hours of the day
while working on the house. This will be a "help-yourself"
relief spot. Anyone who wishes to bring extra treats for
the workers should bring them to the church kitchen. Church
members who are working on the habitat house are asked to
enter through the back kitchen door, and see the office
staff in the Merritt house if the church is locked.
This is a major and long term undertaking by the women of
the church, and help will be needed from all of us.
Thanks, Jane Swanson
There will be a Pastor’s Cabinet meeting on June 28th at
5:30 P.M. in the Fellowship Hall of the church.
