WORSHIP FOCUS

your faith journey with fpcl

sunday june 7

Greetings!

I am looking forward to seeing you as we worship together this Sunday. We continue our summer series: The Sweet Life. For the summer we will be gathering for ONE worship service at 10:00am in the sanctuary [NOTE that this will be our summer worship schedule from May 31st through Sunday, August 9th].

On Sunday we will gather together reminding one another of the importance of "Being Together". We are reminded that we do not walk this journey alone. God is ever present in our daily living and we are challenged in our faith walk to Be Present with one another in our daily living. God walks with us but how are we in walking with and showing up for one another.

Looking forward to seeing you all this Sunday!

Praying for a blessed week for YOU as we wait for Sunday to bring us together again.

Pastor Christina

Sunday's Message: Being Present Together

Scripture:

Hebrews 10:23-25
Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other, but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help. Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though one might prevail against another, two will withstand one. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.
