Dear FPCA family,
For the last month, our worship themes have focused on the different ways Christ’s love for us shapes our lives. We’ve explored how we, as Christians and as a church, share, include, love, and proclaim all because Christ loves us first. One of the core principles of stewardship is that our whole lives can be lived as a generous response to a generous God. This week our series and our financial stewardship campaign culminate with the declaration that because of Christ’s love for us we dedicate our lives and our gifts to God and God’s will for the world.
During worship we will have an opportunity to turn in and dedicate our financial pledges to God’s work through our church. If you haven’t brought your pledge for church yet, this is a wonderful time to do so. If you have already pledged or plan to do so in the future, we will have a way for you to participate in the dedication symbolically. All of us will receive a sign of Christ’s love for us that can serve as a reminder of that which grounds us, comforts us, and sends us into the world by grace.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Peace,
Pastor Stephanie

Dear FPCA Family:
As part of our Raising Faithful Kids initiative, everyone will be given a small pocket cross in our worship services on Sunday. Carry it with you as a reminder that God’s love and forgiveness are always near. You might hold it during prayer, song, or moments when you need to remember God’s grace.
This pocket cross is one tangible symbol of God’s love for us. May they remind us that God’s grace is something we receive freely and carry with us always.
God’s Peace,
Our Vibrant Faith Team
