Sunday Celebration
10:25 a.m. – October 19, 2014
WELCOME TO FRIENDSHIP COMMUNITY CHURCH!
If you’re visiting for the first time, please relax and know we are seeking to
know God better just like you. We hope you experience some friendly smiles
and handshakes today! We invite you to take the next step to deepen your
friendships by attending a life group on Sunday or Wednesday night. You’ll
make new friends and experience a deeper level of fellowship! Friendship
Life Groups are a place where friendships can grow and learning and serving
together becomes a joy!
FCC is committed to helping parents focus on worship each Sunday by
providing a friendly and caring NURSERY for children ages 3 and under.
The Nursery is located out the east door just past the kitchen. Children ages
4 through 4th Grade are invited to FRIENDSHIP COMPANY during the
message this morning!
Everyone is invited to enjoy refreshments and conversation before the
service today!
Verse of the Month
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and
gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
Thought
We are new creations in Christ with the power of the Holy Spirit in us so we
can say no to sin.

SEEKING GOD'S FACE? If yes then attend the Prayer Summit held Friday 7-9

both days just come to one. Come and be inspired and encouraged in your
prayer life. The keynote speaker, Rev. Moses Chung, says, “Prayer is as vital as
the air we breathe. If we don’t pray, we die—spiritually.” Moses was raised as a

Missions for the Christian Reformed Church. Breakout sessions will
include: “Listening Prayer” by Tony De La Rosa, Rejoice Community Church in Le
Mars; “Prayer Saturated Churches” by Barb Hibma, Classis Heartland Prayer

VOTE YOUR BIBLICAL VALUES on Tuesday, November 4. The upcoming

the future of our nation, the character of its leadership, and the health of its
families if we all applied biblical principles to every aspect of our lives – including
committing to voting wisely.
