~11am Sunday Service~
Sermon Text: Matthew 9:30-37
Sermon Title: "Questions"
|
|
30 They went on from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it; 31 for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again.” 32 But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him.
33 Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” 34 But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. 35 He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” 36 Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.”

The shelter has a year-round
list of needs that are always appreciated!
They're especially short on men's deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors & socks. Food items: canned meats, #10-size canned fruits/vegetables & applesauce.
Please sit your donations under the shelter, next to FCC's parking lot,
at the set of double doors with a mailbox.
Proverbs 31:8-9
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.

Christian Action Ministry
Hello Fellow Christians!
Crisis Control Ministry has listed PASTA as the food they would like to see more on their pantry shelf during the month of September. Why do they list PASTA? The food group lists it as a carbohydrate that is nutritional and helps supply the body with warmth, strength and energy. There are so many different types of PASTA and it can be used in ways as part of a meal or the meal itself. It is one of those foods that can serve a whole family at a rather small cost. These are part of the reasons that Crisis Control Ministry chose PASTA for this month. Now you can choose, the next time you are in the PASTA aisle in your favorite grocery store, one of these staples and help fill that shelf in the Ministry’s pantry for sharing. I would suggest choosing one that is in a box to help against breakage. There is a commercial on television these days showing two small girls eating and enjoying a candy bar. One of the questions asked between the two is “who likes to share the most?” There is a slight hesitation and one of the little girls quickly chooses the last piece of candy in the dish and gives it to her friend. This is the way I see First Christian Church—always willing to share. Thank you, First Christian!
