WELCOME TO FRIENDSHIP COMMUNITY CHURCH!
If you’re visiting for the first time, please relax and know we are seeking to
know God better just like you. We hope you experience some friendly smiles
and handshakes today! We invite you to take the next step to deepen your
friendships by attending a life group on Sunday or Wednesday night. You’ll
make new friends and experience a deeper level of fellowship! Friendship
Life Groups are a place where friendships can grow and learning and serving
together becomes a joy!
FCC is committed to helping parents focus on worship each Sunday by
providing a friendly and caring NURSERY for children ages 3 and under.
The Nursery is located out the east door just past the kitchen. Children ages
4 through 4th Grade are invited to FRIENDSHIP COMPANY during the
message this morning!
Everyone is invited to enjoy refreshments and conversation before the
service today!
Verse of the Month

LEVI WIELENGA HAS ACCEPTED THE NOMINATION TO THE LEADERSHIP
TEAM. If there are no biblical objections from the congregation Levi will be
installed on a Sunday to be announced. We thank Paul Thompson, whose three
year term has ended, for his faithful service to God and Friendship Community.
HER HEALTH WOMEN’S CENTER (FORMERLY ALPHA CENTER) NEEDS
YOU With anticipation of more clients in our new location at 5732 Sunnybrook
Drive, Her Health Women’s Center is actively searching for more volunteers to
assist with office work and/or train to become a client advocate. Currently, our
most critical need is 2 or 3 sonographers willing to give two mornings or
afternoons a month, or nurses willing to be trained. This position could grow into
more hours, possibly with pay, as we grow toward our goal of being the FIRST
CHOICE for anyone facing an unintended pregnancy. If you are interested in any
type of volunteering, please give Kristi, our Client Services Director, a call at 712276-0237. Let's serve together for LIFE.
SUPPORT THE S.O.B.E.R. PROJECT: Deb Goering leads a Monday night
S.O.B.E.R. group at Dismiss Charities. S.O.B.E.R. project t-shirts and car decals
are for sale if you would like to purchase them. If you would like to lead a group or
need information, contact Deb Goering at 712.577.3118.
VOTE YOUR BIBLICAL VALUES on Tuesday, November 4. The upcoming
midterm elections are critical. Imagine the impact Americans of faith can have on
the future of our nation, the character of its leadership, and the health of its
families if we all applied biblical principles to every aspect of our lives – including
committing to voting wisely.
