H UGE Women's Clothing Sale!

Yard Sale hopping is one of the best summer past times! 

Who doesn't love finding a great deal especially on clothes?!?!?

Come out to FCC  this Saturday anytime between 8am and 12pm to find some great women's clothes! 

You can feel great about the money you spend because it will be so little on a brand new wardrobe and  IT ALL GOES TO NEW COMMUNION HELPING OUT THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO NEED HELP THE MOST! #sharedabundance

Tell your friends and your neighbors about this great opportunity! 



Youth Happenings!

The youth girls had a wonderful time at camp! 
The pictures below show pure joy!
      
   
 
We will leave for Carowinds on Aug. 1st at 9 am! (There will be no youth group that evening). 
 
Peace, 
Kaitlin 

 
  
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.
Palooza Wish List for the summer.
Basketball hoop & net
Big plastic trucks
Soccer Balls

                    Potluck Picnic
August 12th after service.
