Upcoming Women's Study
"James: Mercy Triumphs" by Beth Moore provides an in-depth Bible study of James, Jesus's own brother. See how one glimpse of the resurrected Savior turned an unbeliever into a disciple. Topics in this study include: joy, hardship, faith, reversal of fortunes for rich and poor, wisdom, gifts from above, single-mindedness, the dangers of the tongue, humility, and prayer. Once you get to know both the man and the book of James, you'll never be the same again. This study will begin on Wednesday, February 15. Books will be on sale at the first session for $18.

New Bible Studies
We have two new adult studies beginning soon. Shepherding a Child's Heart will be on Friday evenings at the Schweitzers' home beginning February 3. A Biblical Portrait of Marriage will be on Sunday afternoons at the Labrados' home beginning February 12. For information and to sign up, visit the table on the patio after services on Sunday or contact Brad at the church office for more information.

Steps of Faith
Begin the process of becoming a fully-functioning disciple, connected to the body of Christ, growing in your relationship with God, serving within your giftedness, and sharing your faith with others. Class starts February 19 during the 11:00 am service. Contact Pastor Mark at the church office for more information and to sign up.

FaithConnect
FaithConnect is a secure password-protected web-based tool to help the staff and leaders of Faith Community Church connect with you and to help you connect with us. FaithConnect allows us to shepherd your family by allowing you to provide up-to-date contact information and giving you an easy way for us to know who you are and what you like. This will help us identify needs, resources, and the ways you enjoy spending your time, some of which will help us create events, trips, and ministries in the future. If you need login instructions, please contact Pastor Mark at the church office.

Opportunity to Serve
As the church continues to grow, we find ourselves in need of more nursery workers. Our goal is to have enough workers so that everyone would need to work only one Sunday every three months. If you feel led to serve the Lord in this way, please contact Diane Bachman at the church office.

Christian Library
Borrow Christian books today from the Biblical Wisdom Library, or help build the library by donating books or funds. Currently we are looking for books from Jerry Bridges, D. A. Carson, Wayne Grudem, Joshua Harris, John MacArthur, Wayne Mack, C. J. Mahaney, J. I. Packer, John Piper, Alexander Strauch, Paul Tripp, and Edward Welch. This free library will be open most Sundays after the 9:30 and 11:00 services. Visit our table for more information.

Meals Ministry
If you are looking for a way to serve God, we invite you to be a part of the meals ministry. This ministry organizes meals for new moms and others in need, such as those recovering from surgery, grieving a death in the family, or taking care of a terminally ill family member. If you would like to be a volunteer that blesses a family in need with a meal, please contact the church office.

Coffee Cart
Looking for a warm beverage on a cool morning? Check out what the coffee cart has to offer. It's open for business on Sunday mornings just outside the church worship center on the patio. All proceeds go toward helping students go to summer camp.

Helping Those In Need
From time to time, we have people within our church with financial needs. We work through our elders and deacons to help meet those needs. While you are, of course, free to help someone in need, we recommend that you give through the deacons' fund or check with one of our elders before giving of your finances.

Prayer Chain
Women who would like prayer requests passed via the internet can email Laura Cox at prayer@faithtoyou.com. If you are a part of our email prayer chain and have recently changed your address or have not been receiving the emails, please be sure to contact Laura and let her know.
