This Sunday at
9:00 (traditional service in the sanctuary), and 10:15 (One and All progressive service in Fellowship Hall), we will be joined by Enrique Ocasio,
Vice President of the Christian Church Foundation (Disciples of Christ) whose sermon title is, "What Will be Your Legacy?" Learn more about him here. Read ahead the scripture he will reference:
I Chronicles 22:5
At the 9:00 service the Handbell Choir will be prominent as they provide prelude and postlude, as well as the communion meditation. The Chancel Choir, accompanied by Lou Ann Fillingham, will present a beautiful gift of music.
At 10:15, the service will be enhanced with excellent music by our
One and All band. Gather in Fellowship Hall for a light breakfast as you participate. Haven't been to One and All in a while? You are missing a unique experience of worship and prayer.
A message about Gifts for Another Table:
During the month of May, our "Gifts for Another Table" will be given to Ministry & More. This food pantry does a great job for people in its neighborhood. Items they would like to have are:
canned fruits & vegetables
boxed meals such as Hamburger Helper and macaroni & cheese

crackers
cookies
peanut butter & jelly
cereal
instant mashed potatoes

Reminders
Things to Do While
You Are at Church
Sign up to donate to the Block Party Bake Sale!
May 13 at the Farmers Market in Bloomington. Please bring baked goods to FCC Friday, May12, between 7:15 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. (best times) or until 6:00 p.m. if unable to bring earlier.
Pick up a post-it note with a pantry item that is needed by the Mission Trip participants to help offset expenses for the event this May.
Bring an Item for "Start Fresh"! The Reach Out Ministry
has partnered with 13 other community churches to provide clothing for men being released from the Lincoln Correctional Center. This is a wonderful way to share God's love with those in need! FCC is being asked to provide Men's socks (new), size 10-13. They also can use new or previously owned belts, pants, jeans, and dress shirts. There is a bin by the Information Center for these donations. Thank you!
Pick up your Pictorial Directory at the Information Center. Those who had a picture taken for the directory may pick up their family's copy. Note: there is an online directory on our website (www.blmfcc.com), accessed in the Member Portal or by a link below the red chalice on each page. Individual access codes have been sent via email or mail!
Check In on Facebook
while you are at church (top right button on Facebook app news feed). At the One and All service feel free to use your device for social media, to share photos and thoughts about your worship experience as it happens.
Make a new friend! Greet a visitor. Show folks around and help them with questions they might have -- you might even invite them to Fellowship Time, which is a super way to break the ice! The bulletin is a great source of information for visitors, as is the Information Center. Let's be a welcoming church!
