You've been waiting for it! Our summer sermon series, "You Asked for It!" begins this Sunday with the sermon topic, "How Can I Pray for Them?" At both the 9:00 traditional and 10:15 progressive One and All services, Rev. Jim Warren will preach from Matthew 5:43-48, addressing the questions submitted: How do you sincerely pray for people who are evil, mean, etc.? Jesus said, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you," but what if your enemy is vicious and cruel?
Our Gift of Music at the 9:00 service in the sanctuary will be a solo by Abby Logan. Don't miss it! At 10:15 in Fellowship Hall our One and All Band will enhance your worship experience with their upbeat music. Which of their songs is your favorite? We will gather in Fellowship Hall, where a light breakfast will await you.
We will celebrate fathers because Sunday is Father's Day! Enjoy a slideshow of FCC dads at both services.
A message about Gifts for Another Table:
Let's all pitch in and give a few food items for Center For Hope. The items suggested are as follows: rice dinners, pasta and sauce, potato dinners and sauce, Hamburger Helper, boxed mashed potatoes, and canned vegetables/fruit.

Things to Do While
You Are at Church
Sign up for Grab & Go, Sonja Reece's program that teaches you how to organize your important papers, at the Information Center. Program is Tuesday, June 20, at 6:00 p.m., in Fellowship Hall.
Bring your Box Tops for Education for Bent School. Place them in the Disciples Women's Ministries mailbox near the office and they will be taken to the school by May Jackson. Thank you!
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!
