TODAY’S MESSAGE:

“WHEN IN DOUBT...”

* Church family album*

We were all first-timers, once! Here are a few next steps that we suggest:

• Fill out a Connection Card. Provide us with your basic contact info. We won’t hassle you. We promise. We will drop you an e-mail or letter to say “hi” and give you an opportunity to get your questions answered. • Visit the Info Center. Stop by and pick up a Welcome Packet at the Info Center located in foyer. We even have a gift for you!

• Meet a staff member. Our pastors and staff members often hang out in the foyer near the Lincoln wall map. They would love to meet you, give you a building tour, pray with you, etc. Our Welcome Team (they’ll be wearing First Free name tags) can point you to a pastor/staff member.
