Faith in Action for the Month of July
Dear Church family,
6/29/06
As the Scripture says in Hebrews 10:24-25: “Let us
consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not
forsake the assembling together as is the habit of some, but
encouraging one another and all the more as you see the day drawing
near.” We are excited about the upcoming meetings and happenings at
Faith Christian Church in the month of July and encourage your full
participation. On the 1st of July a big crew will gather to
“gut out” our two bathrooms in preparation for a complete remodeling
job. During the month of July many have signed up to help us in the
remodeling but there is still room for more. The project will be on
going throughout the summer months.
We have changed our worship time this summer to
9:00 AM as I’m sure you are aware. We have a regular worship service
planned for Sunday the 2nd and the 30th of July.
The 9th and 23rd of July will be devoted to
missions. On the 9th Nancy Olson from Leadership Development
International has been asked her to share her work with our fellowship.
We are delighted that she will be in town. She has a power point
presentation for us to see. On the 23rd of July Jim and
Megan Wolfe will give us a report of their work at their University in
China. They are returning this month from their one year commitment.
The youth will be leading in our praise music on the 23rd.
Plan to stay around after the service on both of these dates and
continue learning about two of the five missionaries and work we
support. Refreshments will also be served on both Sundays. You can
help us out by volunteering to bring snacks and drinks for everyone. A
clipboard for you sign up on will be distributed on the 2nd
and the 9th of July.
On the 16th of July we will meet at the
church parking lot at 8:45 AM to travel up north to Schlais’ cottage.
Along with a worship service we will be celebrating the baptism of three
young men. A fellowship meal and lots of summer fun will follow the
baptism. Our theme for the meal is “Lettuce Gather Together.” Please
bring along a topping for the salad, drinks, your favorite salad
dressing, and a dish to pass. The grill will be available for those
wishing to grill some meat as well. The church will provide the
Lettuce, cups, plates, and eating utensils. A map will be handed out on
the 2nd and 9th of July at the church. You also
will need Chair(s), your swim suit, towel, and fishing equipment should
you venture to make full use of the lake.
On Thursday the 20th of July at 7:00 PM
we will have our corporate prayer time. Come pray for our community for
an hour in our prayer room.
If you have further questions about any of the
above please don’t hesitate to call me at 982-3101. We are over
$5,000.00 short of our budgeted giving at the midpoint of our fiscal
year and our times of corporate prayer have been sparsely attended.
Please don’t forget you spiritual and financial responsibilities in the
church family.
Toward a blessed July,
Pastor Paul Franzmeier |
