Cottage Prayer Fellowship Sign-Ups Are Coming In...

Last Sunday marked the kick-off for our “CPF” gatherings. Many signed up to experience a night together to fellowship, have some light refreshments, meet some new people, spend time in God’s Word and pray for God to continue to lead and guide First Christian Church. Sign-up sheets are available in your bulletin Sunday and on the back table in the sanctuary. Groups will meet from April 29-May 2. There are many time options available. There is room for all who sign up so make plans to join in.

I’m always reminded of how the early church came together; in fact, it was hard for them to be away from each other. Acts 2:42,43 gives us an insight into their gathering stating that, “They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe…”

When we come together with purpose to seek God in our midst, it truly is awe-some! Hope to see you there.

Any questions? Ask Mike W., Lynn Kent, or Gladys Caddy

Shalom,

Mike W.
