JULY 2 AND 3, 2022
d<br />
First Church is planning<br />
to begin a mid-week<br />
evening gathering. This<br />
gathering is created<br />
for everyone, regardless<br />
of which service or<br />
campus you attend.<br />
We are calling it the<br />
“FC Gathering,” <strong>and</strong> it<br />
will take place at the<br />
Downtown Campus<br />
beginning in October.<br />
This will be a time to<br />
build relationships within<br />
our church, have a meal <strong>and</strong> fellowship together, <strong>and</strong> then share life together<br />
in small groups. A survey is available in this past Friday’s e-news to gather your<br />
thoughts on what kind of small grouops would best fit those attending. A copy of<br />
that survey can be found at all welcome centers if you wish to fill out a paper version.<br />
Return completed surveys to the church office by September 1.<br />
SECOND GRACE SHOP JEAN DRIVE<br />
The Second Grace shop is no long accepting summer clothing, but they are<br />
collecting blue jeans for kids of all school ages. The sales are starting for all of<br />
the back to school items, so now is a great time to maybe pick up a pair or two<br />
of jeans that would bless a student. Gently used jeans for school-aged kids are<br />
also a welcome donation, so please keep that in mind as you clean out closets<br />
for the upcoming school/fall season.<br />
AD BOARD INFORMATION<br />
First Church Administrative Board will meet on September 13 at 6:30pm at our<br />
Downtown Campus in Wesley Hall. These regular meetings are open for all<br />
members <strong>and</strong> regular participants in the life of First Church to connect with the<br />
planning <strong>and</strong> leadership work of the Board. If you’re planning to attend, please<br />
email Rob Deemer at rdeemer@zoominternet.net so proper seating <strong>and</strong> space<br />
can be provided.<br />
PRAYER FOR BACK TO SCHOOL<br />
Lord, give our children a thirst for knowledge, wisdom <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing.<br />
May their hearts be ready to learn this year, at home,<br />
school, <strong>and</strong> church. Open their eyes <strong>and</strong> ears. May they crave<br />
knowledge <strong>and</strong> seek it out. Amen<br />
THIS WEEKEND’S SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 22:1-12<br />
We’ll talk about Abraham <strong>and</strong> the sacrifice of Isaac. Faith in God is not<br />
just something to live by when life makes sense <strong>and</strong> is somewhat easy <strong>and</strong><br />
normal. Living life in relationship with God is for all times, including when<br />
life doesn’t make sense <strong>and</strong> God seems to ask the hard thing – actually<br />
puts faith to the test. The call is to live with faith that God will provide, even<br />
when things don’t make sense.<br />
