The YOUNG AFRICANS are Coming Feb. 10!

Our church has been blessed to host two concerts by the African Children’s Choir in the past several years. These kids, many of whom have suffered great loss, have touched us deeply with their simple love for Jesus and enthusiastic song. But if you have ever wondered what happens to these kids as they grow up and move into adulthood, you will have an opportunity to find out on February 10th at 7:30 p.m. when we host a concert by The Young Africans. The Young Africans are a gifted group of singers, musicians and dancers who were all once a part of the world-renowned African Children’s Choir. Now 17-21 years old and more talented than ever, they are poised to fulfill their promise and make a difference in their communities back home. They are thrilled to share what God has been doing in their lives.

Their program, “Our African Dream,” is a unique, powerful, and uplifting presentation that showcases the best of African dance and music, while also bringing new, vibrant life to American spirituals, contemporary worship songs and of course gospel! The concert is free and open to the public. A free-will offering will be received. Donations directly support the expansion of sponsorship and education programs for both the current Choir children and the thousands of other students they represent. Please plan to attend, and bring some guests with you. This will be a night to remember! For more information, please talk to Jim Cismowski (676-7177 ext. 20).

 

Town Hall Meeting - Sunday February 12 Noon

A Denomination Response Team (DRT) has been formed to help lead us through a process of listening and discerning the will of God for FPCC in the midst of denominational issues facing churches in the PC(USA). The congregation will be receiving a letter with information soon. Meanwhile, please mark your calendar for a “Town Hall” meeting on Sunday, February 12 at noon in the Fellowship Hall. Bring your own bag lunch if needed. With questions, please contact David Stearns (685-7916).

THE JAMMY JAM is coming! This is a chance for all of our wonderful parents to TAKE A NIGHT OFF and celebrate VALENTINE'S DAY by going out to dinner and taking in a movie. Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 18. (Yes, we know that's not actually V-Day, but it's convenient, no?) Drop off your Pre-K to 5th-grade kiddos in the Blue Room from 5 to 8 p.m. We’ll have pizza, crafts, games, a short movie and a worship time together. Cost: $5 per ankle-biter!
