Dr. Will Cotton will preach at the 8:30 and 11 am worship services. Pastor Keta Ngosi, our guest from Malawi , will preach at the 9:40 am CrossRoads service.  The Source , our weekly devotional guide, is available on the church website . 

Pastor Keta Ngosi, a powerful woman of God who with grace, commitment and passion serves as Associate Pastor at Integrity Family Church as well as Ministry Director for Somebody Cares Ministries located in Lilongwe, Malawi Africa. Pastor Keta is known as a gifted communicator with a unique ability to empower and build up disciples of all ages in leadership for the church.God is using Pastor Keta in her role as Ministry Director of Somebody Cares Ministries (SCM) to provide quality accessible Biblical education to community pastors. In a country where 65% of the population is fifteen years old or younger, Pastor Keta, along with the SCM team, mobilized an 1800 member strong youth program named YAFORCE (Youth Alliance for Change). This program mandated that true generational transformation will only take place when youth are empowered to become leaders for change. We are delighted to welcome Pastor Keta Ngosi to our CrossRoads worship this Sunday.

Please join us in worship this weekend...Sunday at 8:30 am (Sanctuary), 9:40 am (Family Life Center) or 11 am (Sanctuary).

Why the Backpack Project?

The Backpack Coalition is a collaboration of area churches, civic and business organizations, including our First Church Backpack Project, designed to meet the needs of hungry children in the Round Rock Independent School District by providing them with nutritious and easy to prepare food to take home on weekends. Each food pack contains a variety of non-perishable and kid-friendly food items. Every Friday the child you sponsor will receive food to take home. This may be the only food that they have for the weekend as many are dependent on the free and reduced school lunch program to meet their nutritional needs. First Church sponsors 95-100 students at both Wells Branch and Bluebonnet Elementary schools. Click here to learn more about how you can volunteer, contribute or sponsor a child.

We distribute these specific, single serve, kid-friendly items to prepare and eat. During the month of February, collection bins are in the entry areas of the Sanctuary, Family Life Center and the Student Ministries Office.

We are collecting all non-perishable items. However, we especially need the following items: peanut butter, Ramen noodles, Vienna sausage, Chef Boyardee individual pop-top cans of ravioli, spaghetti & meatballs, etc., applesauce cups, microwave popcorn packets, snack cracker packs, granola or fruit and grain bars, single serve cups of peanut butter, individual size cereal boxes, 100% juice boxes or pouches.

Any products not needed by the Backpack Project will be donated to the Round Rock Area Serving Center.
