Dear Faith Community Church Family,
This weekend we will join together to rejoice in God’s faithfulness to our church for the last fifty years! The anniversary celebration program on Saturday evening and the anniversary worship service on Sunday morning are a time for us to gather for joyful fellowship and to magnify the Lord for his abundant and steadfast love toward us. Our sermon text will be Lamentations 3:22-24, a passage which emphasizes the never-failing faithfulness of our God.
Throughout my time as your pastor at Faith Community Church, I have personally experienced the constant refreshment of God’s mercy and his steadfast love through this remarkable community. What a pleasure it is to serve among you!
I’m looking forward to seeing you this Saturday evening at our Anniversary Dinner. Doors open at 5:00pm for a time of gathering and dinner will be served at 5:30pm. Following dinner, a special anniversary program will be held in the Worship Center. There are certainly more ways to pitch in as we prepare for the event; please contact Amy-Jo (630-220-1543), Tim Wierenga (630-220-5754), or Shannon Thompson (630-303-0614), if you are able to help.
Please remember to RSVP if you haven’t already.
