Midweek Update for August 14
|
|
|
First and foremost, the apostle Paul was a pastor. As he spread the message of Christ and planted new faith communities wherever he traveled, Paul stayed in touch with his congregations by writing letters of encouragement, direction, correction, and love. The wisdom in Paul’s correspondence with ancient churches still has much to teach the church today about how we are called to change, grow, and welcome others in Christ’s name.

Thank you to all who made our final Hargis Celebration so special. It was a wonderful day of reconnection, remembrance, and renewal as we gathered on this Holy Ground. Hargis Retreat is and will be an enduring legacy of FCC!

What a wonderful afternoon of crafts, music, dancing, laughter, the company of friends and, of course, good food. The final Camp High Hopes was the perfect way to end such a life-giving ministry. Special thanks to all the volunteers who worked so hard to make the day special - and a special thanks to Jim Langley for his years of service in this ministry.
