Donations Needed for the Nursery
Thank you for your generous donations to the nursery! We are still looking for boy and girl infant clothes size newborn through 2T to keep in the nursery for those little emergencies! All donations can be brought to the office. Thank you!
Weekly Prayer in the Chapel
ALL are invited to join our prayer group in the chapel every Tuesday morning from 9 to 9:30am. We pray for posted requests, our church family, our pastors, our nation, the election and an array of various other concerns that are brought before us. If you aren’t able to join us, but have something you would like us to pray about, stop in the chapel and fill out a prayer card and tack it on the prayer board! We would love to have others join us! There is POWER IN PRAYER!
VBS Program
Our culminating program will be this Thursday starting at 6:30pm with refreshments following. Please be sure to come see and hear what our students have been learning and experiencing this week.

August 27th – High School End of Summer Valleyfair Trip
To celebrate the start of school, we are planning a high school youth group trip to Valleyfair in Shakopee, MN. Park tickets and transport tation will be covered by the church (you simply have to pay for food and souvenirs). In order to take the trip, however, we must have at least 15 students registered by August 19th via our website. http:// fpcspiritlake.org/news
Action Group for Communications and Marketing
We need to enhance our marketing and communications with our members, visitors, and the general public. We will work with the staff on the web site and other internet possibilities, coordinate bulletin covers with a sermon series, and make greater use of our electronic message board. There is a need to increase the attendance at the second service and let people know of the opportunity to attend a contemporary worship service.
