Celebrating 10 years at FCC!
Dave Jarrett recently completed his tenth year on staff at Fir st Chr istian Church. We are blessed to
have his talent and leadership to guide our creative arts ministry. Because of his preparation, practice,
leading, and heart of worship, our services are richer and more meaningful. We are truly grateful for Dave,
Kristin, Jackson, Kinsey, and Kayleigh. May God bless you with many more fruitful years of ministry at
FCC.

Three families participated in this year’s Infant Dedication on Sunday, January 14th. The
children dedicated include Amelia Rey Westman, Jonathan Henry Gabbard, and Jordy
Elliot Lane.
Their parents understand that they are the most influential spiritual leaders to their chil-
dren’s lives. We believe that home is the best place for leading children to follow Jesus.
Meanwhile, the congregation partners with the parents through encouragement, support,
and accountability as the parents raise their children to know and love Jesus.
Please begin partnering with the Westman, Gabbard,
and Lane families by praying for them as they raise
their children in Christ.

we are asking you to help by donating candy.

candy bars, (please no King size, fun size, etc.)
Candy can be placed in the church office.
Cash donations would also be greatly appreciated to
help go towards the purchasing of concession items
and can be given to Kendra Squibb.
The first day of games is February 3rd. Thank you
for your help!!
SCHEDULING EVENTS AT FCC
If you are planning an event at FCC, please make

FOR YOUR INFORMATION!
We have recently changed the software we use at
FCC for facility, check-in and membership infor-

This new software will make data more managea-
ble and allows us to integrate all of our check-in
information.
