Weekly Update

Your Weekly Update

Keep up to date with the New York City Mission Trip from Wednesday July 5th through Monday July 10th and keep our students and adults in prayer as they serve others in the name of Christ. Updates and pictures will be shared nightly on our website sentbylove.com!

New Church Directory & Family Portrait Opportunity

Believe it or not, church directory pictures have started! There are still spots available within one of our two sessions from June 26th-29th and July 14th & 15th and 19th & 20th. Every family that participates will receive one free 8″x10″ picture as well as a free printed church directory. The photo directory is an important tool that helps connect our church family across our two services and also serves as a great point of contact for our newest members. Please signup for your family’s appointment right away. You can either call in your reservation to the church office or complete it online at https://fpcspiritlake.org/directory/


Let’s Go (formerly Children’s Church)
Pre-K through 4th grade students are invited to attend Let’s Go (Children’s Church), an interactive worship experience, following the children’s sermon during both worship services every Sunday through June and July. Adult leaders will lead students in a time of Bible lessons, music, crafts, and games in the Christian Education wing. Once worship is over, students will enjoy a snack time while adults have a time of coffee and fellowship. Regular Sunday School will not meet during the summer and will resume in the early Fall.

Pastoral Care
With both pastors out on the NYC Mission trip, please be sure to call the office at 712-336-1649 with any pastoral concerns. The elders and deacons will be making visits during the pastors’ absence and local pastors are available in the event of a pastoral emergency.

VBS Craft Needs!
Please donate t-shirts, any/all sizes, for one of the crafts we will be doing during VBS. The shirts need to be clean and print-free on the back. If there are designs or stains on the front, that is fine, but the back needs to be In super shape! Leave the shirts in the office with Cheri.
Let us know if you have questions.
Thanks!

The Baby/Lap Quilts are ready to be finished. They are located in the chest of drawers in fellowship hall.

FPC is Collecting Freezer Meals
We try to keep freezer meals on hand for families in need, but our collection is getting low. So we are asking for your help in restocking the freezer. Thank you for your continued support in this ministry.
