Come worship! Gather at
9:00 (our traditional service) or 10:15 (our One and All progressive service) to hear Rev. Jim Warren's sermon, "Father of Orphans and Protector of Widows." Jim's thoughts about the scripture (Psalm 68:4-10, 32-35) and sermon: This Psalm lists those whom God loves and protects. Do we, like God, provide for the needy?
At the 9:00 service we will be treated to a solo by Jeff Courtright. The One and All Band is preparing some of your favorite toe-tapping tunes for the 10:30 service. Grab a friend and worship with a light breakfast in Fellowship Hall.

Reminders
Things to Do While
You Are at Church
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!
