Ladies’ Bible Study at Evie Mann’s home in Eden. They are beginning a new study on the fruits of the Spirit. Ladies, if you’re looking for more study, encouragement, and prayer in your life, consider joining this group. The study begins at 8:00 p.m.

Wednesday Evening Bible Study and Prayer Meeting meets at 7:00 pm. Join us as we make our way through the book of James in a study called “Brother to Brother”. We’re finishing up Chapter 2 with a look at faith that works. It’s a great time to join us.

Saturday, May 2nd
Join us for our 7th Annual FCC Leadership Forum. We are pleased to welcome back T. David Gordon, Professor of Greek and Religion at Grove City College. Dr. Gordon will address the theme of developing and preserving a biblical worldview. He believes that the dangers of conformity with the world are just as great in our day as they were in Paul’s. How can we develop a consistently Christian understanding of reality, in the midst of so many things around us that appear normal but are not? This question will be the focus of our weekend together.

The FCC Leadership Forum will include two morning sessions, beginning at 9:30 am and will conclude by mid-afternoon with a third session. Dr. Gordon will remain with us on the Lord’s Day, at which time he will address our adult Sunday School class and preach during our family worship time. See the bulletin insert and sign-up for this important and exciting event.

Interest has been expressed in joining the church. If others would like to be part of a class for prospective members, see Derek or one of the Elders. The class is designed for those considering church membership. If you’re already a member, but still don’t have the foggiest idea what American Congregationalism is all about, come and sit in on this three- or four-session class. Details to follow.

Get the most out of the services by asking about our special listening devices. Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help. If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
