This Week’s Church and Community News
Welcome!
Thank you for joining us to worship God, hear from his word, and be reminded of his grace. We hope that you will be blessed and encouraged this morning. If you are with us for the first time, please stop by the welcome center in The Commons to receive a gift and to say hello.
This Sunday, June 29
The life of Elisha includes some of the most odd and even disturbing stories in the Bible. It’s hard to understand what God is trying to communicate through some of these bizarre stories. And yet they are still the word of God. This Sunday, we will look at one of these strange stories and listen for God’s voice and message to us.
Next Sunday, July 6
What does John the Baptist’s call for repentance look like in our day to day life? Next Sunday, Rev. Barb Boss will be our guest speaker, and we’ll take a look at Luke 3:1-18. Barb and her husband Rick have been attending FCC for over 8 years. Barb was the pastor of Family of God Church in Newaygo, MI until her retirement.
