Worship This Sunday
In Power | Week 4: Community | Acts 2:41-47
Join us as we continue our series, IN POWER. What does it look like to have life giving power from God moving in and through us? We’ve explored the source of the power is the Holy Spirit; this power manifests both naturally and super-naturally; and the management of the power is at the discretion of the Holy Spirit. This Sunday, we’re going to make a shift into some of the pragmatic ideas of living in power, more specifically, how the early church modeled Community In Power — this is how we live together.
We look forward to seeing you there!
VBS Decorating Volunteers!
Date: Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays
Time: 6–9pm
Place: in the Preschool Area
We have a specific need for DECORATING volunteers! This role will be focused on making the church look like a true Jungle Adventure! From painting to box cutting to more creative roles, we need all hands on deck!
If you can donate cardboard, please contact Ally Kalmar (thisishomenumber2@gmail.com), and she will take it.
For questions or more information, please contact Meghan Lawson (mlawson@facerie.org) or Ally Kalmar.
facYOUTH Lead THE Cause | Summer Fundraiser
Date: Sunday, April 12–Sunday, May 31
Place: in the lobby
Our facYOUTH students are returning to Denver, Colorado this July for the Lead THE Cause missions trip, and we’d love for you to be part of what God is doing!
One of the ways you can support students is by giving to our “Envelope Wall” fundraiser. Students have decorated envelopes, each with a number on the front. To participate, simply choose an envelope and place that dollar amount inside (for example, envelope #25 = $25). The fundraiser will run through May 31, and every gift helps send students out to be equipped and to share the Gospel!
You may also notice students serving in different areas around the church during this time. That’s intentional! It’s one way we are encouraging them to say thank you for your generous support and investment in their spiritual growth, and to cultivate a culture of service. When you see students serving, be sure to share an encouraging word with them!
Contact Pastor Mark at mangelotti@facerie.org for more information.
