Dear Brothers and Sisters,
This Sunday we have the privilege of welcoming Pastor Nick Swan to our pulpit. Pastor Nick is on staff at Grace Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Winnetka. He will preach from Genesis 8:20-9:17, a passage which emphasizes the faithfulness and sufficiency of our covenant keeping God in each and every circumstance. The title of his sermon is aptly titled “Sheltering in Christ.”
Please take note of the following announcements this week:
Property Team Leader
We are thankful to have Mark Wissing as our new property team leader. Phyl Holt will be assisting Mark in this role in overseeing our building and grounds. The vision of the FCC property team is “to ensure a safe, well-maintained, and aesthetically pleasing building and grounds to carry out the vision, mission, and ministry of Faith Community Church for years to come.” We are grateful to the Lord for their willingness to use their gifts to serve our church in this way.
