Adopt-A-Light Program
|
FCN is in dire need of replacing our stage and sanctuary lighting. The fixtures are obsolete and cannot be repaired. We need your help! In order to not incur debt, the Church Board is introducing the "Adopt-A-Light" program. The cost to replace all stage and sanctuary lighting is $21,130.15...this includes labor costs. This factors out to be approximately $275 per light. If 76 people adopt a light, we would have most of the needed funds for this project. Consider giving in memory of a loved one. You can also give in increments if $275 is too much to give at one time. Please seek the Lord as to what He would have you give. Please mark your contribution as "Lighting" or "Adopt-A-Light". For more information, please contact Robert Hehn.

Band of Brothers Men's Group
|
The Band of Brothers Men's Group meets on Sunday, at 4:00 p.m. in the Conference Room. Our study is Cold-Case Christianity. Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator.
Christianity could be defined as a "cold case": it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity.
A unique apologetic that speaks to readers' intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.
Contact Jimmy Thomas, 325-829-6528, for more information.

WYBT Youth
|
October is already here and soon we will be stressed for the holidays. The youth are getting things together for our fundraiser. We will be having our concession stand on Saturday, October 28, at the Women's Ministries Craft Fair. We will have breakfast and lunch available. We have learned if it isn't broke don't fix it, so we are bringing back the pulled pork. Everybody come and get some!
I know this will be out before we have actually completed the first time of delivering the box meals, so pray that they went well and we will be getting around to do them again the end of October. Matthew 25 tells us that we are to take care of the "least of these". My prayer that the youth will see and learn the importance of being a missional church.
I would also like you to keep Trey Burke in your prayers as he will be working with the youth on Sunday evenings.
One last thing...pray about Fields of Faith. This is sponsored by FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes). It will be Wednesday night, October 11. We have a time of praise and worship and teens from this area sharing their testimony.
Prayers.
Your Sister in Christ,
Sherry
