My good friends!

Crisis Control Ministry was started in 1973 by a few churches, our First Christian being one, to provide food and other survival needs to families in difficult situations. We as a church have supported this Ministry every year since with donations of food and other items as well as it being a "line-item" in our budgets.

This month Crisis Control Ministry is asking that we donate BEEF STEW to fill their shelves.

When we give food, it allows the Ministry to use their funds to  supply needed prescriptions, supply a heat source, or keep a family in their home. You have been so supportive over the years and I thank you on behalf of all those families served. Purchase your gift this month and place it in the white container in the office wing. Your help is needed!

Becky Minnix, Christian Action Ministry

First Christian Church has been fortunate over the years to have Historians among its midst. We have old photographs and some not so old photographs, 

legal documents about the church and just memories. 

Althea Gray has volunteered to be the church  Historian for 2020  and organize all those things into scrap books.  This will give us an opportunity, at a glance, 

to remember those who have come before us and how we got to where we are today.  If you have any such items you would like to share, please talk to Althea.

The women of First Christian Church, Winston-Salem, will be hosting the DWM/CWF of the district DOC churches on February 29, 2020. We will enjoy fellowship, warm soup and a lively discussion of Mary Ann Williamson's book "The Gift of Change". Put it on your calendars now.

More details will be coming in the new year, Claudia Colter

To those interested in renewing our PINC (Partners In Christ) meetings, please respond in an e-Mail. In your answer, please relate the following answers:

Our goal is to meet together and get to know each other in a more personal way. In sharing various activities, I think we accomplish that in a very Christ-like way.

In the past in addition to opening devotionals (when appropriate) we have performed several service projects - Valentine and Easter Baskets for seniors, Preparation of eggs for our Easter egg hunt,and help with fund-raising projects of the church. In addition we have prepared items for sale to raise funds and had sale of donated items.  We have also participated in fun activities such as movies, bowling, art and wine parties, and dinners out. We also had interesting speakers for our meetings as well as instructors for arts and crafts projects.

Your response to this message is important in deciding the future of PINC.
