Worship and Praise Service

June 5, 2016

Welcome to worship at First Chris�an Church!

Each week we offer two different worship services:

8:15 am service features tradi�onal worship and

10:45 am service features modern worship.

Kent Hickerson (8:15am) and Greg Taylor (10:45am)

will share the communion and offering devo�ons.

When communion is served, we invite all Christ

Followers to par�cipate, partaking of the bread as it

is passed and retaining the cup un�l we can all

partake together.

This Sunday begins an eight week look at the book of

Acts. Today, Greg Taylor, will be bringing us a

message from Acts 2 en�tled, “The Birthday.”

At 9:30am, Bible School classes for all ages meet

throughout the FCC building.

We have several Sunday School classes from 9:30am-10:30am that can

provide an opportunity for you to get be�er connected with our FCC

family. Find a class that fits best for you, and ask a volunteer at the

informa&on desk to help you locate your classroom.
