WHY DO WE SING THESE SONGS?
Scripture commands the church to sing “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs” (Col. 3:16) together as one of our acts of worship. These different kinds of music reflect songs that come directly from Scripture (Psalms), as well as new songs written by the church that reflect the truth of God and the gospel as revealed in Scripture. Here we sing hymns that connect us to the generations of God’s people who have gone before us, we sing modern songs in an attempt to be faithful to God who calls us to “sing a new song,” and we sing new arrangements of classic hymns. Any song we sing together must first pass the test of truth - is it theologically accurate and does it proclaim what is true about God? In this, we recognize that God can draw straight lines with crooked sticks. The songs we choose must also be singable in a group setting. Not every song you hear on the radio is that. But what is most important is that in singing together, we are proclaiming Christ’s excellencies as his people. Let us hear you sing!

MISSIONS MOMENT | Brandon & Angie Johnson
You are invited to pray for our FCC missionaries. These next two weeks we want to lift up Angie & Brandon Johnson with Youth for Christ in the Mediterranean. Here is how you can be praying for them:
- Pray that Angie's chemo would prevent reoccurrence of the breast cancer she had. Praise there are only 2 sessions left. Pray for her to finish strong!
- Pray for Brandon as he leads the international Young Leader Advisory Board. Pray as they meet next year God will use them to bring new ideas for the leadership of YFC and that the experience will be a blessing for the young leaders participating.
- Pray for Angie as she leads the planning team for YFC's International Conference next year in Kenya. Pray for the team to plan well and for a great time together for the YFC workers all over the world.
Thank you for covering the Johnsons in prayer!

In accordance with our by-laws, our elders ask that if you know of any Scriptural reason this person should not be received into partnership to please let them know. Speak to an elder or email elders@fcchurch.org with feedback. Thank you for making our partnership significant!
