Jim Warren is back and we resume our "You Asked for It -- Again!" sermon series this Sunday with the question, "How did there get to be so many of us?" In both services (9:00 traditional and 10:15 progressive), Jim will use Ephesians 4:1-6 to help answer that question. About the sermon he says, "We'll take a hurried stroll through the many contemporary manifestations of the church, looking at Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and the many flavors of Protestants." Come, listen and learn!
The Chancel Choir is taking a break, but in the 9:00 service in the sanctuary you can be sure that we'll have music! Worship will include excellent hymns (thanks to our wonderful organist, Lou Ann Fillingham, as well as your voices), and a lively, familiar gift of music that will be presented by Holly Irvin on flute and Deanne Bryant on violin.
One and All is a progressive service with a different atmosphere. We have a wonderful One and All band, a screen with lyrics to the upbeat songs, and a delicious selection of breakfast foods, all to help you feel welcome and relaxed as you worship. This can be a perfect way to introduce a friend, co-worker, or family member to FCC. The interesting sermon and open communion will round out the experience. Hope to see you there! We get started about 10:15 in Fellowship Hall.
A message about Gifts for Another Table for July:
Let's start off with a bang with items for Home Sweet Home Ministries. Suggestions of non-perishable food items to bring with you to church during July are: boxed rice dinners, pasta & sauce, potato dinners & sauce, Hamburger Helper, instant mashed potatoes, and canned vegetables & fruit. - Pete Whitmer

Reminders
Things to Do While
You Are at Church
Bring a white elephant gift donation and leave it near the Information Center for the July 23 fellowship event. See "Upcoming" column to the right.
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!
