In this issue:
For a year now, Florence Christian has been seeking God’s
guidance and wisdom in determining our present and fu-
ture ministries. Over the last year, we have affirmed our
“Why”—our purpose or mission as a church: Celebrating
God’s Welcome Table of Abundant Love, Grace and Ac-
ceptance. We also were able, through a series of gather-
ings and self-studies, articulated and affirmed our “How”—
our Core Values to Welcome Radically, Serve Boldly, and
Form Faith Every Day.
And now we are ready, with those clearly defined state-
ments of mission and core values in place to inform and
give us a strong foundation, to begin the exciting work of
determining “What” we will do as we begin road mapping
the future of our ministry together!
Our Vibrant Faith coach, Jim Ladoux, will assist us in this
vital process of road mapping August 18-20. The schedule
will be as follows:
Leadership Dinner and Meeting—Friday at 6:00 p.m.
in the Well. Pastors, Members of the Board and
Elders will meet with Jim to review the process and
offer input. Reservations required for the dinner.
Please call the church office at 859-647-5000, ext.
550.
Form Faith Road Mapping—Saturday from 10 a.m.-
Noon in the Well. Team leaders and members in-
volved with adults, youth and children’s faith for-
mation ministries are encouraged to attend.
Welcome Radically Road Mapping—Saturday from 1-
3 p.m. in the Well. Team leaders and members
involved in the areas of hospitality, worship, office
and evangelism ministries are encouraged to at-
tend.
Serve Boldly Road Mapping—Saturday from 4-6 p.m.
in the Well. Team leaders and members involved in
the areas of outreach and mission ministries are
encouraged to attend.
Leadership Luncheon—Sunday at noon in the Well.
Pastors, Executive Officers of the Board, Team
Leaders and Elders will meet to receive report and
feedback from Jim as we determine our next steps.
MAPPING OUR FUTURE WITH VIBRANT FAITH!
This weekend will be a pivotal time for us as we map out our plans and vision for the future.
All are invited to join us!

Click Here for online survey
Paper copies in the Narthex every week
This assessment has three compo-
nents:
A few general demographic ques-
tions
The Living Compass Adult Wellness
Self-Assessment where individuals
scale themselves on 80 statements
related to 8 areas of wellness.
Completing the Wellness Assessment
for Congregations will provide benefit
for both the individual completing it,
as well as for the congregation.
Benefits for the Individual: Each per-
son completing the Wellness Assess-
ment for Congregations will receive
immediate, confidential results of his
or her current state of balance and
wellness. Only the individual taking the
assessment will see these personal re-
sults. These results will help the indi-
vidual make decisions about his or her
wellness, including what wellness pro-
grams that he or she might like to at-
tend when they are offered.
Benefits for the Congregation: The
congregation will benefit from the
completion of the Wellness Assess-
ment for Congregations because it will
gain important data that will help its
leaders plan future wellness programs.
The congregation’s leaders will receive
the aggregate scores of the self-
assessment along with the results of
interest survey for various wellness
topics. The congregation’s leaders will
never know who took the assessment,
nor will they ever be to see any individ-
ual’s responses.
Please take the survey to guide you in
your journey to wellness and to pro-
vide important data for Florence Chris-
tian to program this Year of Whole-
ness.

Did you know…
the restroom in the Office Wing is
equipped with a shower. Folks living in
Boone County who are experiencing
homelessness frequent Florence Chris-
tian for a shower, a small bag of non-
perishable food and sometimes a $5
gas card or TANK bus pass. Since it’s
gotten hot, about 8-10 people come by
in a week for a shower. These are great
resources we can offer our community.
Our guests often ask for razors, deodorant, toothbrushes
and toothpaste. Please consider donating a few of these
toiletries. Leave donations in the bin by the office door.
THANKS!

Interesting Carbon Footprint Chart!
“Many commonly promoted op-
tions, such as washing clothes in
cold water or swapping incandes-
cent bulbs for light-emitting di-
odes, have only a moderate impact
(see chart, below), the team reports
today in Environmental Research
Letters. But four lifestyle choices
had a major impact: Become a veg-
etarian, forego air travel, ditch your
car, and—most significantly—
have fewer children.
Despite the effectiveness of these four measures, nei-
ther the textbooks in Canadian schools nor government
reports or websites in the European Union, the United
States, Canada, or Australia highlight these choices,
possibly because most of them require such extreme
changes in lifestyle.” 2017 American Association for the
Advancement of Science.

You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.

ELIZABETH CUNNINGHAM DIOP
ORDINATION
August 27, 2017, 4:00 p.m.
There are few times in the life of
a congregation that are more
sacred than when “one of our
own” is ordained to the Chris-
tian ministry. Elizabeth “Lizzy”
Diop, who grew up in the Flor-
ence Christian Church family,
pursued her theological educa-
tion at Christian Theological
Seminary, where she graduated
and began serving in the Chaplaincy ministry as she contin-
ued her CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) at Children’s Hospi-
tal. She has been under the care of the Christian Church in
Kentucky’s regional Commission on the Ministry, where she
was approved for ordination earlier this year. The Board of
Florence Christian Church unanimously voted to sponsor her
ordination and a team has been working on the celebration
for the past four months.
The service of ordination will be held on Sunday, August 27 at
4:00 p.m. A reception in Lizzy’s honor will be held following
the ordination. We hope all of you will come and be a part of
this high and holy moment in Lizzy’s life!

Children Worship & Wonder
Sundays, 9:00 AM & 10:30 AM – Ages 4-7
Children Worship & Wonder is a very special worship experience designed for younger chil-
dren. It is influenced by Montessori ideas and creates a welcoming environment to grow in rela-
tionship with God through ritual, telling our sacred stories, and providing ways for
the children to develop their theological imagination. Children are invited to leave the sanctuary
after the children’s blessing and are escorted to the Children’s Worship Center in the Atrium.
Parents are invited to reunite with their children after the close of worship outside the Children’s
Worship Center in the Atrium.
Kid’s Quest - Sundays, 9 AM and 10:30 AM for ages 8-13
Kid’s Quest is a special worship experience for our older children in an environment of
worship leadership and learning. It incorporates the same scripture as in “Big Church”
and provides children ways to interactively engage with the scripture lesson and the
worship experience. Children are invited to leave the sanctuary during the children’s
blessing and are escorted to the chapel or atrium. After the conclusion of their activi-
ties, they are escorted back into the sanctuary to rejoin their families for communion.

Sunday worship is when all of us gather as the people of
God to praise God, to connect with God and each other.
At Florence Christian Church we encourage children to
begin worship in the sanctuary with their families. After the
music and opening prayer in a Children’s Blessing, one of
the Pastors and the congregation bless the children to con-
tinue their worship in developmentally appropriate envi-
ronments. Special worship activities for children are also
available during both worship services.
Nursery Care: If you have a little one, nursery care is avail-
able at each service, so please make the choice that best
fits the needs of your family.
As always, children are welcome to worship in the Sanc-
tuary for the entirety of worship with their families. We
welcome their wiggles and giggles, cries and coos! They
are beloved members of the family of God.

Worship & Wonder and Kid’s Quest Worship. These worship experiences take place dur-

dedicated volunteers to provide these experiences of God for our children. If you have a
passion for children’s ministry and can serve about one Sunday a month, please contact
Pastor Diana [email protected]
PARENT NOTE: Please be watching your email for invitations about your children transitioning from one

It’s that time of year again where we will be saying
goodbye to some of the children we have had since
infancy. Each year as the end of summer approaches
we face this time with mixed emotions.
The new school year is an exciting as well because we
meet new families and enroll new children. The excite-
ment doesn’t stop there! Additionally, many of the cur-
rent children will move into a new classroom for the
next year.
Our Preschool and Pre-K programs begin Sept. 11,
2017. We are excited to begin another year of molding
children and teaching them fundamentals of early edu-
cation.
We also offer an enrichment program for children who
attend ½ day kindergarten at nearby schools. This pro-
gram enhances the fields of learning and equips them
to be much more skilled and confident in their educa-
tion.
We are currently accepting fall enrollment. For further
information please contact our office at
(859) 647-5000 ex 600.
Blessings, Julie
As a welcome and outreach ministry of
Florence Christian Church, the Discover Zone
Preschool and Childcare Center serves families
with value-based educational childcare where
children discover their world in a nurturing, safe,
Christian environment.
Thank You!
We thank you for your contribution of $450 in 2017 to both
the General and Food for Thought programs.
We’re in the midst of summer and the warehouse volunteers
are feeling the heat! Action Ministries depends on 150 volun-
teers every month in many ways throughout the ministries. All
the work they do is necessary to provide grocery items to the
more than 1000 families, as well as other agencies and schools
we serve every month. Volunteers pick up donated groceries,
sort and store those groceries in the warehouse, prepare bags
for clients, greet clients and assist them with their groceries
and toiletries, work in the office processing data and answer-
ing the ever-ringing phone, and deliver groceries to home-
bound seniors. Action Ministries is an impressive operation
made possible in God’s Will by the many, many volunteers and
donors who support us. We are humbled by the fact that Flor-
ence Christian has chosen us as an agency you want to sup-
port financially.
If you would like to a hands-on part of the Action Ministries
team, please call 859-261-3649 and learn how you can get in-
volved. There is a place for everyone who wants to help, re-
gardless of age, skills or physical ability.

Bible Milestone Presentations
Sunday, August 20th
As a part of our commitment to
lifelong faith formation, we present
children and youth Bibles at differ-
ent milestones in their lives. Each
Bible is especially designed to fulfill
the faith and developmental stage
through which they are journeying.
Bibles are typically presented when
children and youth transition to
different worship experiences or at other points in their
lives such as when a young child transitions into Worship
& Wonder or into Kid’s Quest. Join us for this special cel-
ebration in the lives of our children and youth! If you be-
lieve that your child is reaching a milestone or has joined
the church within the last year, please fill out a quick sur-
vey: https://goo.gl/forms/ToMsWmRpyWoEiYsY2

Cane Ridge Day
On Saturday, June 24, several members of Florence Christian
Church went to Cane Ridge in Bourbon County Kentucky for
the annual Cane Ridge Day. The meeting was started with
an old fashion gathering in song followed by special music
by David Edwards. The morning speaker was James Taylor
who spoke on some of the early church leaders. We learned
that President John Garfield was a Disciples of Christ Minis-
ter. The only President who was a licensed Minister.
Lunch was at the tables on the grounds with music to eat
by. There was time to tour the museum also.
The afternoon speaker was Mark Sage filling in for Mel
Hankla who was ill. He spoke on the history of Kentucky.
The meeting was over around 3:30 PM. Everyone had a
spirit-filled, great day.
