e-newsletter // September 20, 2014

In our lives, a half-hearted effort usually doesn't accomplish much. Most things worthwhile require a determined, focused commitment. Now is the time to call out our very best for something of supreme value, Christ's Church. Generations have served faithfully in the past, laying a solid foundation and leaving us a legacy. Now a new generation is invited to make the commitment to say, "I'M ALL IN" for this new season ahead. Nothing less than a renewed vision will bring about a rebirth of First Christian for the future. Join us THIS SUNDAY as Steve shares our vision to reach, win and grow!

Get plugged in to a small group!

We have 37 new small groups and would love to add 13 brand-new groups as we launch our I'M ALL IN series. New leaders are needed and new opportunities will begin this week! Sign up on your Connect Card this Sunday or contact joe@fccf.org.
