This Sunday we will continue our sermon series on
Leadership Lessons from Nehemiah. So far we have looked at
CHARACTER and COURAGE. This week we will reflect on
COLLEGIALITY, a major characteristic of good leaders. I
look forward to being with you in worship. Please read
Nehemiah 1 -3 before Sunday. Thanks!
This Sunday is the dedication of Adam and Melissa's
child, Anna Karen and Lea and Thomas McCracken's child
Marcella Wells! Also Rev. Barb Jones, our Regional Pastor
with the Great River Region will be with us in worship!
Then at 2-4 pm is the 100th Birthday Party for Hodge
Montague! Wow! A Big Day indeed!
So...gear up for some great worship and witness to the
fact that Christ is alive at FCC!
"Celebrate all celebrations!"
