BRING FRIENDS We love having guests with us at First Christian. Please bring your friends and family every Sunday. We have a couple of exciting opportunities for you to bring guests:

-The church picnic will be on Sunday, September 20th. Anna Jackson’s singing group “By Grace” will be joining us for a couple of songs during the worship service and will present between worship and the picnic. -Friend Day will be on Sunday, October 4th.

More information about both events will be available soon! SMALL GROUPS As a congregation, we believe in the great value of small groups. Small groups build spiritual depth and spiritual community! In a small group, you study the Scriptures and get to know your brothers and sisters in Christ in a more intimate way. We have small groups that meet throughout the community on a number of nights each week. If you are interested in joining a group, please make a note on your Connection Card. MONTH OF COMMUNITY PROJECTS We are also getting very excited about MONTH OF COMMUNITY!!! As a congregation, we long to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We are encouraging each small group to pick a service project that they could complete during the month of September. Please find a free or inexpensive way to reach out! Contact the office if you are in need of some ideas.

ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES available after the morning service at 11:00 a.m.

The L.I.F.E. Sunday School Class is studying ( Revealing The MYSTERIES Of HEAVEN ) by DR. David Jeremiah. This study will answer and clarify the most important questions Christians have about their future eternal home. If you have had questions about heaven - especially about how to get there- let Pastor David Jeremiah be your guide. L.I.F.E. Class is lead by Larry Long in Room 124. Do you ever feel like the Christian life is a long game of Je-sus Says? Jesus says pray, Jesus says give, Jesus says go to church. In a new 8 session series the Kingdom Builders class will find out what it means to "Follow" Jesus. In the new series Andy Stanley will show us that Jesus' invitation to his first century audience was really an invitation to "relationship" and it began with a simple request: FOLLOW ME! Kingdom Builders Class is lead by Steve Kasper in Room 125. Selah Sunday School Class is studying through Revelation. Selah Class is taught by Duke Fox in Room 118. LADIES Sunday School Class will not be meeting for the summer. Please join another class. A biblical overview based on the Standard Publishing Sun-day School curriculum taught by Gary Salyer in Room 127 Loyal Berean Classroom. Standard Publishing Sunday School curriculum also be-ing taught by Brian Graham or Jack Wilhite, Room 126, Seekers Classroom. If you have any questions regarding any of these classes

please contact Steve Kasper.

*Current Sunday School Opportunities are posted on bulletin boards in the auditorium and restrooms.*
