ALL RIDERS WELCOME

Do you remember the
friends you had when you
were a child? I am sure you
had friends that you could
play with or just sit and talk
to for hours and hours.
Maybe you had a “best
friend” to whom you could
share your most secret
thoughts, fears and dreams.
God made us in such a way
that we need friends. We de-
sire relationships with peo-
ple who are far more than
acquaintances. We long for
the support and love of true
friends. The Bible speaks of
friends many times. Some of
my favorite ones are: Prov
17:17 A friend is always
loyal, and a brother is born
to help in time of need. Or
how about this one: Prov
1 8 : 2 4 T h e r e a r e
“friends” (people who say
they are your friend) who de-
stroy each other, but a real
friend sticks closer than a
brother.
By far the greatest verse
about friendship is this one:
John 15:13-16 There is no
greater love than to lay down
one’s l i fe for one’s
friends. You are my friends if
you do what I command. I
no longer call you slaves, be-
cause a master doesn’t con-
fide in his slaves. Now you
are my friends, since I have
told you everything the Fa-
ther told me.
What could be better than
being the friend of Jesus? If
you have accepted Christ and
live as He commands, then
you are Jesus’ friend And Je-
sus did lay down His life for
us showing that there is no
greater love than His love for
us.

That is simply amazing and
wonderful.
This month we will be look-
ing at having friends and be-
ing a friend. The last Sunday
of this month, Sept. 26 we
will have “Friend Day”. We
encourage everyone to bring
a friend to church that Sun-
day morning and sit with
them during the service. We
encourage you to bring
someone who does not have
a church home or is not a
Christian. After all, what
better way to show your
friendship to someone than
to introduce them to your
best friend, Jesus Christ?
I love you all.

WARRIORS Come and Pray With Us For
Our Youth & Our Families !
Dear FCC Family,
I want to thank my church family for the support during my knee surgery and in the
passing of my mother. Both have been difficult, but all your prayers, cards and phone
calls were a big help and comfort. When you’re in a lot of pain, whether physical or
emotionally, God sends Angels to your rescue and I think God cared for me during those
times with each of you. God bless each and everyone of you and God bless our church.
Love In Christ,
Larry & Connie Dixon
SOUP PANTRY VOLUNTEERS
The Christian Women’s Fellow-
ship has ask that the FCC family
volunteer to help with the ‘FEED
AMERICA’ Soup Pantry here in
Abingdon. The pantry feeds ap-
proximately 100 - 150 people on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thurs-
days. They are in need of volun-
teers from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. on
those days. A sign-up sheet is on
the Sign-Up Table in the foyer.
Please consider this much needed
ministry that is such a blessing to
families in our community who are
struggling just to keep their fami-
lies fed. We hope to start this min-
istry in September.
