First Christian Church

Be a steward of creation: Recycle – Reuse. The Science Depot needs: 32 pop bottles (1-2 liter size, clean and dried with lids) and 130 egg cartons (styrofoam or cardboard). Please put items in the music/copy room on top of the filing cabinets or give directly to Amber French. Thanks. You can also drop off empty, clean aluminum cans in the Scout Room off Fellowship Hall for recycling.

YOU’RE INVITED: The Membership Commission will host a time of “fellowship and birthday treats” after each service on February 19, 2012, celebrating the 91st birthday of First Christian Church.

The CWF branch of Disciples Women’s Ministries will be serving a LOVE & FRIENDSHIP BRUNCH at 11 a.m. in Fellowship Hall on Saturday, February 18th. Bernard Ambrosino and the Armor’s staff will cater – so it’s guaranteed to be delicious! The “Twang Gang” will entertain, and ticket holders will have the chance to win door prizes. Price is $12.00. Tickets will be sold between Sunday services TODAY and next week.

COPIER NEEDED – The copier is fundamental to our daily operation here at FCC. The one we have is old enough that new spare parts are no longer available. The urgency to replace it is increasing. We are asking the congregation to give renewed consideration to funding this very important need now! Please make your contribution directly to the church. If you have questions, see me or any member of the Stewardship Commission. ‐‐ Dave Jerde

Exciting news! The CWF executive board has agreed to “match” any gifts towards the new copier up to the amount of $3750 – AND our FCC Preschool has pledged $1,000 towards its purchase. A special thank you to those who have already given.

Offering Envelopes are available in the narthex in packets for monthly or weekly giving.
