 VBS week was a smashing success with over 100 registered children and 50-some volunteers who worked at Hero Headquarters where the kids learned how to be Heroes for God, right where they live.

All men are welcome to join us for our Men's Lunch, every Tuesday 12:15pm at the Rowley Village Pancake House. Actually, both breakfasts and lunches are popular.

The First Church Worship Team practices every Thursday evening from 7-9pm. There are always a few who come to worship with us. If you are needing a little spiritual pick-me-up, feel free to join us in the FLC for a time of praise while we sing to our King. | |||||||||
 (Note:
This Bible Study will not meet during August.)Every Wednesday, 2:00pm-3:00pm, we have a Bible Study
at Four Mile Village in the O'Connor Room. Anyone is
welcome to join us. The lesson is lead by Pastor Walker. | |||||||||
 (Note:
This Bible Study will not meet during August.)The Women's Bible Study is studying "Perplexing Proverbs" for both the Tuesday evening (7:15pm) and Thursday morning (9:00am ) groups. Contact Madelyn or Harriet.
The Bible,
specifically the Book of Proverbs, holds the answers to the questions of
life. Perplexing Proverbs: A Bible Study for Women is a
ten-week study that applies the wisdom of the Proverbs to ten primary
concerns in a woman's life, including wisdom, trust, contentment,
friendships, behaviors, conversation, motherhood, finances and time. It
uses both Old and New Testament passages to cement the concepts of the
Proverbs and to help women gain wisdom in day-to-day living. Click here

buy the $11 book. | |||||||||

 We
have a Men's Bible Study
Friday mornings from 6:00am to 7:15am with a group of guys who really
like to talk and dig into the Bible! We always end promptly so you can get to work. This is a great
way to do more than wish you studied the Bible and to stop feeling
guilty that you don't pursue God or really talk with other Christian
men. Set that alarm and join us Friday Morning in the Family Life Center
Lobby! | |||||||||
