Brothers and Sisters,
This Friday evening at 6:30pm we have the excellent opportunity to meet with Haitian pastor Dony St. Germain. Dony has served many years in gospel ministry in his home country of Haiti and serves as the president of El Shaddai Ministries International. We will have dessert and hear from Dony as he shares about the work God is doing in Haiti, in addition to the challenges the Haitian church is facing. This is not a fundraising event, but an opportunity to hear about the way the gospel is spreading among the Haitian people. There will also be time for questions. If you would like, feel free to bring a dessert to share. We will meet in room 3/4.
The sermon text for this Sunday will be Hebrews 5:11-14.
The link for this Sunday’s worship service is available here.

Church Directory Updates
We are in the process of updating the church directory. If you have any changes to your profile, forms are now available in the narthex to update your information. If you prefer to use your own photo, please email it to the church office at [email protected]. Please notify the church if you would like a copy of the directory. We ask that you submit your updated or new forms to the church office by May 14th. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ellen Horyn or Diane Walker in the church office.
Assisting with Online Meal Sign-Up
Are you interested in helping facilitate the online sign-up when an FCC member/family needs meals? Once you know dietary restrictions and the frequency of meals, it is a short and simple process to enter the information online and let the FCC office know the name and password for a bulletin announcement. If you would like to know more about serving in this way, please reach out to Don Johnson..
Prayer Requests
Wetherington Family: Please pray for comfort for the Wetherington and Muzzy families; Katie’s sister, Cari, sustained serious injuries and lost a baby at 28 weeks pregnant in a car wreck last Thursday. Please also continue to pray for healing for Lois Sullivan, Dan’s sister, living with the Wetherington family after experiencing a severe stroke.
Bill Crabtree: Pray for full healing for Bill who is undergoing additional testing after a recent hospitalization.
