Worship This Weekend
FCC Stained Glass
 
Let's Celebrate!  We will  recognize the achievements of our graduates at both the
9:00 (traditional) and 10:15 (One and All progressive) services, and at the 9:00 service we also will show our appreciation to the Drexler Singers who contribute so much to our music ministry.

Come honor both groups and hear Rev. Jim Warren's sermon, "Building with Living Stones," which refers to 1 Peter 2:2-10.  This passage calls
us living stones who are being built into a spiritual house. What are we building together?
 
We will be treated to excellent music at both services:  the Chancel Choir will present an anthem -- a lively gospel tune, "He Never Failed Me Yet," with Tommy Bravos as soloist with a drum/guitar instrumental -- at the 9:00 service;  and the One and All Band will play and sing upbeat praise music at the 10:30 service.  As always, a light breakfast and hot coffee will await you during the latter service, in Fellowship Hall.  

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
canned soup
crackers
cookies
peanut butter & jelly
cereal
instant mashed potatoes

Reminders
  Things to Do While
You Are at Church
 
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, which occurs in late 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!

Don't forget!  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!
