facWEEKLY June 13
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
GRACE UPON GRACE | Ephesians 3:14–21
We’re continuing our sermon series Grace Upon Grace with a powerful message from Ephesians 3:14-21. Hope to see you there!
Great Commission Day
Date: Sunday, June 15
The world is full of empty and unplowed fields—places where seeds of the gospel have yet to be sown or where people have turned their hearts from Jesus. Yet God’s heart of compassion is for these forgotten, neglected fields. We go and send because God calls, because the fields are ready, because hearts everywhere need to encounter His compassion and love. Together, let’s join with our Lord of the harvest and send forth laborers into His fields.
FAC will be celebrating Great Commission Day on Sunday, June 15th.
You can make your check out to First Alliance Church, designate your gift “Great Commission Day Offering 2025” in the memo line, and put it in the church’s offering box. You may also give online and choose the drop-down box for Great Commission Fund.

HOPE ESL Summer Info Meeting
Date: Monday, June 16
Time: 6:30pm
Place: in Room B106
Have you been curious about HOPE Ministry (Helping Others Practice English) and want to get involved but not sure if you can help? Well, if you love Jesus, love people and speak English, you can help! We need volunteers to help in our English classes one afternoon a week for 2 hours from July 1–mid August. You don't need to have teaching experience or speak another language to help. Outside of English, there's a need for childcare, transportation, sewing and more!
Come learn more at our information meeting. For more information contact Amy McCullough at amccullough@facerie.org
Prayer for short-term missions team to Kenya
FAC is sending four members of our church family to participate in a New Life Camp at one of the Remember Nhu homes in Kenya that we support financially and prayerfully. Please pray for their travel, for spiritual protection, and that they are a blessing to the girls in our sponsored homes. The members of the team are Rita Bagnoni, Gwyn Horner, and Scott & Sandy Taylor. Please pray for them by name. The trip is from June 20th to July 3rd.
Do You Have a Prayer Request or Praise?
