facWEEKLY November 28
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
Heaven and Nature Sing | Advent Week 1: Song of HOPE | Luke 1:5–25
Join us as we begin our Advent Season with our traditional reflection around the lighting of the Advent Candle, and as we open our message series. This week we will look at the idea of HOPE that at times feels so fragile in the world we live in.
No facKiDS Elementary Classes on November 30
facKiDS elementary classes (K-5) will NOT meet on Sunday, November 30. The nursery (birth-PreK) will, however, be available during the 11:00 service. Your elementary age students are invited to join us in the worship service!
Advent Devotional from The Alliance
With the Christmas season right around the corner, we’re excited to share this Advent devotional with you! This year’s devotional from The Alliance focuses on the theme "All of Jesus". It covers the four traditional Advent themes, as well as a special devotional for Christmas Eve.
You can find the Advent Devotional by clicking the button below. A limited number of paper copies will be available at The Hub.
Prayer & Worship Night
Date: Wednesday, December 3
Time: 7pm
Place: in the Worship Center
Join us on Wednesday, December 3, at 7pm, in the worship center as we gather for a time of Prayer & Worship. Our hope is to see this and future gatherings be a time of people seeking God in prayer together, times of celebration, and times of intercession for each other. Let’s see what God will do at FAC as we seek Him first. May all our concerns be met in Jesus as we come to Him in prayer.
We kindly ask that you use the two main entrances of the building as our youth group also meets on Wednesday evenings. For the safety of our students, the office entrance will remain locked.
Update on The Collingsworth Family Tickets
For those who may have attempted to purchase General Admission tickets earlier this week and were unable due to them being sold out, a limited number of additional tickets have been made available for General Admission seating. Get them soon before they sell out again, and don’t forget to use discount code “CHURCH” to get yours for $20 each. Be sure to purchase tickets only through the CFAM website or direct iticket link below as there are other ticket outlets claiming to have tickets, but for higher prices.
Available Again: The MGM Story
Hundreds of people from FAC have gone on a short term missions trip with MGM (Meeting God in Missions) to the Dominican Republic. Did you know that the man who started this ministry was a part of our church family?
You can learn all about this amazing story by ordering a copy of "A Journey with God" by Jim McDonald. Contact Sandy Mayle at sandykmayle@gmail.com, or order it on the link below. The cost is $15.
Prayer for International Work, Holly Woodworth (Miami)
Holly Woodworth is working in Miami with the Christian & Missionary Alliance.
“I have been experiencing marked dizziness. Mornings are really rough. I have a rough time walking across the room or keeping food or liquids down. I have had similar episodes in the past, but it usually lasts 1-2 days with years between them. This is the third episode since spring. And they are lasting over a week. I have a med that can stop the spin, but it knocks me out cold for 8-12 hours. Pray that I will be restored to full function!”
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.
