facWEEKLY May 29
We hope you've had a good week, FAC Family! Here are just some of the great things happening in the coming weeks.
Check out "What's Happening" for a full list of events taking place this quarter.
Worship This Sunday
In Power | Series Finale: Redirected In Power | Acts 16:1–10, 14–15
Join us Sunday as we conclude our spring series called In Power with a look at what happens when God redirects the vision we have for our lives. It’s been a fun series to explore what it looks like when we live a life that is lived in the power of the Holy Spirit. Our hope is that we will continue to be people and a congregation who daily lean into the leading, directing, and power of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives. Be sure to catch the messages you missed either at our website [https://www.facerie.org/sermons] or on our YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/@facERIE].
Pastor Ben will also be sharing about our Summer Prayer Initiative, including three different ways to continue our prayer emphasis over the summer months.
Encounter: Prayer & Worship Night
Date: Wednesday, June 3
Time: 7pm
Place: in the Worship Center
Don’t miss this opportunity on Wednesday at 7pm, as we seek God in prayer and worship. We believe that God shows up in powerful ways, where He’s wanted, and we want God present and moving at FAC.
Great Commission Day Offering
Date: Sunday, May 31
The Great Commission Day Offering is The Alliance’s annual spring campaign that serves to raise money for the Great Commission Fund (GCF). It’s about all of us joining together to complete the Great Commission—by giving, praying, and participating in what God has commanded us to do.
FAC will be celebrating Great Commission Day on Sunday, May 31.
You can make your check out to First Alliance Church, designate your gift “Great Commission Day Offering 2026” in the memo line, and put it in the church’s offering box. You may also give online by clicking the button below.
For questions or additional information, please contact Pastor Scott (sshuffield@facerie.org) or Mike Lawson (michael.lawson@facerie.org).

Men's Bible Study
Date: Saturdays, beginning June 13

Stand Firm & Act Like Men—Become the man you were created to be instead of who the world says you are. This seven-week series is focused on the important role that God has designed men to play in all areas of society. When men stand up and live and love as God intended, everyone flourishes.

Men's Pickleball

Prayer for International Worker Holly Woodworth
Holly Woodworth is working in Miami with the Christian & Missionary Alliance. Pray that local friends will feel safe responding to the team’s support. Fear of ICE is high, no matter their current status: legal, pending, or undocumented.
You can learn more about Holly by picking up a copy of our “Prayer Guide for World Missions” at the Missions Table near the entrance of the Worship Center. You can partner with Holly in ministry by giving to the Great Commission Fund.
Do You Have a Prayer Request or Praise?
“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere” (Ephesians 6:18, NLT).
The staff and elders at FAC would love to pray for you. Send your request or praise to Pastor Scott through the form below.
