2009 Vision: Impacting the Community Through the Arts and Acts of Kindness
2 Upcoming events:
541 Concert (this Friday night: July 31)
541 (formally "The Guys") will be doing a concert this Friday night during the carnival! The VBS carnival will be in the grassy area by the east parking lot from 6:00-8:00 P.M. We'll be singing from 6:30-7:30, so we invite you to bring your unchurched friends and neighbors. We'll be doing most of the songs we sang in May, along with a few new surprises. You know you love country music as much as I do.
Mow and Go (Saturday morning, Aug. 22)
Since we're on a spending freeze, we won't be able to do the "watermelon give away" like we had hoped. However, on Saturday morning, Aug 22, we will be mowing some lawns! The plan is to mow some lawns within a one mile radius of FCCN. We'll stop by their house, ask if we can mow their lawn, and knock it out in about 10 minutes. We'll probably get some unchurched families to show up to FCCN as a result, and eventually they will become fully devoted followers of Jesus. It should be a blast!
If you live within a one mile radius of the FCCN campus, please let me know of a few people who would be blessed by this: people who do not currently have a church home, and wouldn't mind for someone to mow their lawn. (I know that some guys are crazy about their lawns: very meticulous. So if they are "one of those guys" we won't bother them.)
Anyone in the worship ministry or their immediate family is welcome to participate! Let me know if you would like to help! Here are a few ways to be involved:
1) Bring your pickup truck, lawnmower and weed whacker and make it happen.
2) help with childcare at FCCN while others, you know, mow.
3) Administratively gifted people who want to tackle the scheduling.
4) Prayer warriors: We'll set up a room at FCCN for some people to pray for soft hearts and safety for all involved that morning.
Praise Team Practice Tomorrow (Tuesday July 28)
We'll begin in the Green room since VBS will be in the worship center, then we'll move to the worship center around 6:25 after the kids leave.
Choir and Orchestra: begins Sunday night, September 13!
Yes indeed, you all have been asking about the date, so here it is! Our first practice will be in the worship center from 6:00-7:30. This year's Christmas music Will have drama, live choir and orchestra, special effects, the whole deal. Anyone from 8th grade to age 95 is invited. No tryout is needed and childcare is provided for every practice, so invite all your peeps. Yep, I said it, peeps.
A new feature this year is the 1st-5th grade choir! Our very own Suzanne Chambliss will be leading a 1st-5th grade choir that will join us for the musical. The 1st-5th grade choir will practice at the same time (6:00-7:30) in the elementary big room (Fritz' area). However, they will do more than just practice: they will also learn the Bible and have fun with Fritz and his team every Sunday evening.
Remember, the Christmas Musical will be on Saturday night, December 12 and Sunday morning December 13.
Worship Night: Sunday night, August 9 at 6:00 P.M.
You and your family are invited to experience God in a concert of worship on Sunday night, August 9, at 6 PM. All are invited! There will be some great music and interactive worship with the XP Band. Mark your calendars now! More details to come in the next few weeks.
Random Blog Thought
Jennifer and I watched the "Twilight" movie yesterday afternoon. Interesting. Every high school girl is saying "yeah! awesome!" And everyone else on the planet is saying "what's Twilight?"
