Baptism - Have you given your heart to Jesus and made Him Lord over your life? It's time to take the next step and share it in public through the sacrament of baptism! It's a celebration like none other, and your church family wants to celebrate your decision. Our next baptism is September 7 in the morning worship gathering. If you have questions or want to sign up, click here
Sunday Songs - Are you interested in listening to the songs you sang at church on Sunday? You can! The songs will be listed here each week for you to look up and enjoy worship throughout the week:
- Hosanna (Praise is Rising) - Paul Baloche
- Graves Into Gardens - Elevation
- Christ is Enough - Hillsong
- Thank You Jesus For the Blood - Charity Gayle
- I Surrender All - Hymn
Volunteer Appreciation - we sure appreciate our volunteers at FWC! From behind the scenes to hospitality to leading in worship and all others - THANK YOU! You make a difference in the Kingdom by giving to God your time, talent, and treasure!

Collegian Adoptables - Our collegians will be back in town very soon. Would you be up for being an encouragement to them? Ways to do that would be inviting them to sit by you in church, having them for a meal at your home or taking them out, sending an encouraging note, etc. If you'd like to invest in some college students as an "adoptable family," please sign up with Pastor Jeff here.

Holy Spirit - Could we pray as a body, "Holy Spirit, breathe on us."? In so doing, we are simply asking God for a fresh outpouring of His Spirit to "blow" in the LOST, bring His POWER of healing (in any form - physical, emotional, spiritual, marital, etc.), and allow us to experience Him and hear His voice for our individual and corporate purpose.

Dinner & Trivia - come out to support the Ghana missions team! Whether you stay for the evening and play trivia, take a carry out meal, invite friends, or share the post from the FWC Facebook page, (or all of the above!), you're helping out. Details above on the flyer.
Branch is Hiring - if you or someone you know is interested in the ministry of the Branch - mingling with locals, being Jesus through a smile and a coffee, etc. - then consider applying at the Branch here today!
Run 4 Ghana! - see the flyer below or at the church mission board in the Welcome Center or go to run4ghana.com here to sign up to be a part of the walk or run for Ghana, Africa! FWC partners with New Light Children's Home in Ghana, Africa and this is one of their local fundraisers. See you there!
