OCC 2009 - Success!

Well, the 2009 Collection week is coming to a close! Now that it's over I can't believe it's come and gone!!
First Christian Church has been a Relay Center for Operation Christmas Child (OCC) for a number of years now and the National Collection Week came to a close today. Our relay center took in 1,303 shoeboxes this year which are in transit to the Collection Center at Tri Cities Baptist Church in JC. The shoeboxes will travel from there to the Distribution Center in Boone, NC and from there across the globe!!
Let's lift up a prayer for each person involved in transporting these shoeboxes and for the ministry as a whole.
Many thanks to all our volunteers for all the time and work! Let's plan on making next year EVEN BIGGER, EVEN BETTER!!

Women's Groups

There are currently three women's groups at FCC they are:
Joy Circle, Hope Circle and Love Circle. These three groups joined together make the Christian Circle.
The Christian Circle meets twice a year to report on what each individual group has been up to and perhaps we will have a guest speaker from one of the missions or organizations we support. Not to mention the Salad Supper!
Each group has their own function with in the Church as well as their own special missions, activites and monthly meetings. At the meetings business is taken care of then typically a lesson or a study of some sort and fellowship.
Sometimes it's just a place we can come together as friends and let our hair down, it's a place to draw closer to each other but more importantly to our Lord and Savior.
