Join us for the next Vintage Bunch on February 8 at 11:30am. We will be hosting a book swap. Bring any books you would like to swap, for example, if you bring five books, then you can take five books. This should be a good time! Be prepared, you may be asked to tell about the book you are swapping. There is nothing like a good read so bring your latest good read to the February Vintage Bunch.

Souper Bowl of Caring – Jan 29

“‘Lord, as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us to be mindful of those without even a bowl of soup to eat.‘

More than 20 years ago, the Souper Bowl of Caring began with this simple prayer from a single youth group. Since that day, more than $81 million has been raised for local charities across the country through Souper Bowl of Caring. It has become a powerful movement that is transforming the time around Super Bowl weekend into the nation’s largest celebration of giving and serving.”

The CYF and Chi Rho youth group is serving you a free soup lunch on Sunday, Jan. 29, immediately after the 11:00 service. We hope you will join us! If you feel inclined, we will accept donations of canned goods or cash to be given directly to the Servant Center. By participating in the Souper Bowl of Caring, we get to choose the charity of our choice to receive any donations. We hope you will join us, and we thank you for the continued support you give us.

Thank you,
FCC Youth

The Gospel According to Mark

January 15 – February 19

 This six-week series will offer an in-depth look at the book of Mark, the first of the four Gospels to be written. In the six week series, we will work our way through the book of Mark, exploring its background and digging into the text itself to explore what Mark has to say about Jesus, his life and work, his disciples and followers, his relationship with God, and his death and resurrection.

If you are looking for a Sunday School class for these coming weeks or if you want to get to know your Bible better, please join us in the Friendship classroom at 9:45.  If you have questions, please contact Thandiwe Gobledale, who will be leading the class.

Mark Sermon Series and Class – Starts Jan 15

The gospel of Mark is generally considered to be the earliest of the scriptural accounts of Jesus’ life. It’s also the shortest— Mark writes with an intensity that shows his passion for the good news. As people of faith, one of our obligations is to be well acquainted with our foundational scriptures, and to be always learning more. To that end, we’re going to spend some time over the next few months digging into Mark’s gospel.

Starting January 15, a new Sunday school class (led by Thandiwe Gobledale) and sermon series (with Lee and Thandiwe) will allow us to learn more about this important book. It doesn’t take long to read Mark in its entirety. Why not get a head start and read it before January 15?
