Bifocal Kingdom Vision

According to the Vision Council, nearly 70% of adult Americans need some form of vision correction. It’s also common for those over 40 to require a corrective lens that aids in seeing objects both distant and near. These are called bifocal lenses. The focus for our 2022-23 Kingdom Investment is much like a bifocal lens. We are focused on making clear and tangible impacts both close to home and in places far away.

Our distant, or global, impact has been accomplished through our partnership with Filter of Hope. 15 FCC members traveled to Guatemala and were able to pass out over 85 water filters to families in need of clean water. On top of that, they were also able to share the good news of the Gospel.

Our near-home, or local, focus is through our work with Love In Action. LIA is creating what is known as a Food Co-op, which is a resource for those who are experiencing food insecurity but may not need the full service of a food pantry. This will allow many people to gain access to fresh, healthy food that they may otherwise not be able to afford. FCC has already donated money to this cause, but now it is our turn to participate as well.

There are several volunteer opportunities available for teens, families, adults, and seniors throughout May and the summer months. These include a postal food drive, working in a garden, and receiving produce from the Summer Grand Haven farmer’s market. If you are interested in signing up, please click here or call the church office. If you want to learn more about these opportunities before committing, talk to Bruce or Nancy Cook, Maggie Assink, or Kyle Mullin.
