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.
