WHY DO WE HAVE FAMILY WORSHIP?

On 5th Sundays, we encourage families - and all the generations - to worship together. By taking a week off of children, youth, and adult programs, we try to make the decision to worship together as the church easy for families. Why? Several years ago, Fuller Youth Institute launched the College Transition Project with the goal to find the one thing that would develop long-term faith in youth. They didn’t find the silver bullet, but one thing they did find was that involvement in all-church worship during high school is more consistently linked with mature faith in the future than any other form of church participation. But then, that shouldn’t be surprising consider what God said in Deuteronomy 6:4-9 (go give it a quick read). The immediate family and the intergenerational family of faith is God’s plan for passing on love, belief, and obedience to the Triune God. So, we gather together - as all generations - in order that the next generation might catch sight of the goodness, majesty, and sufficiency of God.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

MISSIONS MOMENT | Roberto & Kristin Macaluso

Please join us in the important work of praying for our FCC missionaries. These next two weeks we want to focus on Roberto and Kristin Macaluso with Youth for Christ in Italy:

  • Pray for their upcoming move into a new apartment, that God would provide the needed resources to make it a home.
  • Praise God for a successful launch of a new podcast that is already having an impact among youth!
  • They have had new opportunities for serving in the local schools. Pray for God to move mightily as Roberto and Kristin go to where the youth are to serve them with the gospel of Jesus!

Thank for you remembering our missionaries and one another in prayer this week.

Women of Worth | Sat., Jan. 4th, 11:30 | Rm. 2/3

Calling all women on their own (single/divorced/widowed), join us for our Christmas/New Year's potluck and fellowship. Ham is the main dish-feel free to bring a side/dessert. Sign up at the Connection Center or contact Kendell (703-853-9759). We're looking forward to seeing you then!

Men's Breakfast | Sat., Jan. 11, 8:30a | Rm. 18

Men of FCC! You are invited for breakfast together. Come for great food and greater encouragement in your walk with Jesus.

ABF Series | Sundays, 9a | Rm. 2/3
Everything Bible ABF | Sun., Jan. 5, 10:30a | Rm. 21

A new ABF is launching at the 10:30a hour! Take a deep dive into systematic theology (from a dispensationalist perspective) this Spring with Stephen Forcey. We’ll build on major Biblical themes like Christ, salvation, angels, the Holy Spirit, and more. Great for new believers, new members, and any believer.

2024 Gifts

The church offices and building will be closed for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Enjoy this time with family and friends!

Family Sunday | Sun., Dec. 29, 9a & 10:30a

It's a fifth Sunday next week and that means Family Worship for us at Fellowship! There will be no children or youth programming, and no Adult Bible Fellowship, so that we can all worship together as the family of God. Nursery is still available.

Soon our weekly Men's (Tuesdays 6:30p), Women's (Tuesdays 6:30p/Wednesdays 9:30a), and PRECEPTS (Tuesdays 6:30p/Wednesdays 9:00a) studies will roll out for a new semester.
