ANNOUNCEMENTS
Saturday, May 21st

Join us for our 8th 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 Christian worship in a media-saturated age. He argues that worship through preaching and singing has undergone profound changes in the last generation, many due to technology’s debilitating effects on Christian sensibilities. This fascinating subject will be the focus of this year’s FCC Leadership Forum. Join us as we welcome T. David Gordon for a challenging, worldview-building 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 in the foyer for this important event.

Address Update! Ruth and Roy Shelpman are phasing down the orphanage aspect of the Metzler Youth Home and will be returning to the States July 28. They are considering one of 14 possible areas of service as BMM Missionaries for their next assignment from the Lord. Their mailing address is: 1400 CR 17A North, Lot 77, Avon Park, FL 33825
