pumpkin-patch-1This Fall & Winter have been AMAZING!  We moved into our new facility on CR 210 in September, we had our 1st Pumpkin Patch, Fall Festival, and Open House.  The children put on a Christmas Program and we enjoyed several Christmas celebrations; Children’s Christmas Party, Annual Christmas Gathering (Worship & Breakfast), Westminster Retirement Home Caroling and Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. family-photo1 2008 has been a blessing!  Thank you LORD for all of the gifts and blessings you have given FCC this year.

Worship Explorer Sundays

We are currently trying to give the children several opportunities to pray for one another.

  1. Prayer Pals: Stuffed animals with pockets full of prayer requests or praise reports from the other children at church.  (When your child brings home one of our Prayer Pals, please remember to encourage your child to pray for their friends  daily and to return the Prayer Pal the next Sunday.)
  2. Harvest Prayer Tree: Children put their prayer requests on a fruit (apple) and place it on the tree.  When the prayer is answered, they pick it and place it in the Harvest Basket.  This will help strengthen their faith as they see how God answers prayer.
