Crisis Control Ministry

July is the month that we will be collecting FRUIT JUICES for Crisis Control Ministry. As you know, a cold glass of juice will help cool you during the heat of
 the Summer. When you are in your grocery, don't get  confused  because of all the varied juices that they offer-any shape or kind is fine. We do ask for canned or packaged and not fresh because of shelf life. Think about what you would buy for your family and purchase that. Many people will be pleased and refreshed. You know where to put them-the large white box in the Education Foyer.




Please join us on  Wednesday, July 25th at 6 pm  in Taylor Hall for a Youth-led worship service. The youth will prepare sermons, art, photography, and music that will teach us about the Fruits of the Spirit. Stick around after the service for an ice cream social! If you have a homemade ice cream recipe that you would like to share with us, please feel free to bring it with you! We are looking forward to seeing you there! 

If you know anyone that will be having a baby soon please pass this along to them. 
~Thanks

Youth Happenings!

Hello all and Happy June!
 
May was an exciting month for th e youth of FCC. We are looking forward to the end of school and the fun activities
w e have planned for summer! 
 
During the month of June, our theme will be  Transition . We will look at how different Old Testament characters dealt with change (for better or worse!) and talk about how we can apply those lessons to the transitions we go through in our own lives. The stories we will focus on will be the Bitter Water at Marah (Ex. 15), Saul's jealousy of David (1 Sam. 18), Jonah preaches at Ninevah (Jonah 3), and Joseph's time in prison (Gen. 39-40). 
 
We are looking forward to  camp at Christmount July 8-13! 
 
VBS is Aug. 6-10.  If you are interested in helping, please let me know! 
Peace,
Kaitlin
