July Preaching Series ~ Adoration to Alms ~ 11 AM Combined Worship

Church, family, as you know, the month of July provides us with the opportunity to once again huddle around our mission statement and to remind one another of that to which God has called us. This year, we focus on that aspect of our mission that calls us to serve sacrificially the community in which God has placed us. Join us every Sunday during the month of July for our preaching series from Hebrews 13:14-16, where faith becomes action, and adoration leads to alms. Because loving our city starts with laying ourselves down.

Men's Bros at Moe's dinners are here during the Summer

Back by popular demand, get ready for another summer of men connecting with men over BBQ and Bible! Come for dinner (optional), a short devotional, and a time of "give and take." This is not only a great time of fellowship for FPC men, but we strongly encourage you to invite a friend! Wednesdays from 6:15 - 7:45 p.m., from June 11 to July 30. See you there.at Moe's Original Barbecue, 101 W 1st Street.

Summer College Dinner and Bible Studies

Summer College Dinner and Bible Studies will be held from Monday, June 9th, to Monday, July 28th, from 5:30 to 8:30 at the home of Ben and Summer Rooke.

Summer Choir Opportunity

Have you ever thought about singing in the choir but weren’t sure how to get started? This summer is the perfect time to jump in!

We’re inviting anyone who loves to sing (or has always wanted to try) to join us for Summer Choir on two upcoming Sundays:

July 13 – Every Time I Feel the Spirit
July 27 – 10,000 Reasons

We’ll warm up at 10:30 a.m. in the choir room and sing during the 11:00 a.m. service. No robes, no pressure, no weekly commitment, just a chance to make music and worship together!

The anthems are easy, joyful, and fun. No experience is necessary, and you don’t have to read music. You can even just show up that morning and sing with us. We’d love to have your voice with us!

Vacation Bible School-“The Great Jungle Journey” ~ July 14th-17th ~ 9 AM-Noon

CONNECT WITH US

If you are visiting with us today, we would love to have the opportunity to answer any questions you may have about our church. Please visit our Connections table after worship to talk with a volunteer and to receive a gift cross. Or you may visit our church website, click on the link at the top for the Connect Form, and a member of our Connections team will contact you. We look forward to connecting with you.

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES ~ SERVE PROFILE

The Bible teaches us that all Christians were “created in Christ Jesus for good works” (Ephesians 2:10). Our church has created a Serve Profile that helps you discover how God has gifted you for His service and shows you potential areas of service in the church and community. This Serve Profile does not automatically sign you up to serve anywhere! It opens the door for a ministry leader to contact you and discuss ways you may feel called to serve FPC and our surrounding community when opportunities are presented. You may visit fpcrome.org/serve and click on the SERVE PROFILE button. It is accessible from all mobile devices and takes about 7 minutes to complete. If you prefer a paper copy, contact the church office at 706-291-6033.
