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.

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.

In preparation for our upcoming Leadership Forum with T. David Gordon in May, we’ll be working through his Johnny books – “Why Johnny Can’t Preach” and “Why Johnny Can’t Sing Hymns” for our next Coffee with Calvin reading group. If you’re interested in joining us, see Derek.
Next Sunday we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper. If you would like to participate but are unable to be here, see Derek or one of the Elders to arrange another time. Don’t be shy about taking full advantage of this important gesture of unity with Christ and his body.
We will share a fellowship meal together following the service. Bring a dish to pass! Also, plan to linger over dessert and coffee as we hold our first family meeting of 2011. Come with any general questions or concerns you may have. Be thinking specifically about outreach – strategies and suggestions to help us be more effective witnesses for the gospel.

Thank you to all who gave so generously to help meet our 1st quarter missionary budget. We are less than $100 from our goal. Any surplus will be applied to next quarter’s giving. Don’t forget, all mission contributions must be designated.
– Thank you, Audrey Krebs
In preparation for our upcoming Leadership Forum with T. David Gordon in May, we’ll be working through his Johnny books – “Why Johnny Can’t Preach” and “Why Johnny Can’t Sing Hymns” for our next Coffee with Calvin reading group. If you’re interested in joining us, see Derek.
Next Sunday we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper. If you would like to participate but are unable to be here, see Derek or one of the Elders to arrange another time. Don’t be shy about taking full advantage of this important gesture of unity with Christ and his body.
We will share a fellowship meal together following the service. Bring a dish to pass! Also, plan to linger over dessert and coffee as we hold our first family meeting of 2011. Come with any general questions or concerns you may have. Be thinking specifically about outreach – strategies and suggestions to help us be more effective witnesses for the gospel.
