LOVE GOD
  • Youth Group Mission Trip – July 18-23 - We will be going to Cookson Hills in Kansas, Oklahoma. Cookson Hills is a solution for kids who have faced challenges with family life, school truancy, homelessness, poor peer relationships, or experienced abuse and neglect. We will be working on projects there to maintain their facilities and grounds, which includes barns where they do Equine Therapy! This is a great chance for your student to serve the Lord and experience something new. Cost: $199; deadline to sign up is July 1st. Click HERE to sign up
  • Personal Gift to God – How might you offer love to God? Consider your gifts, your resources, your time. And no matter what:
    • Talk to God everywhere
    • Listen for His still small voice leading you in Truth
    • Trust Him with all your heart and the details of your life
  • Family Camp – July 17-24 – Family Camp at Fairmount Camp is a great way to draw closer to God. Whether you can come for an evening service, attend services in the morning, or get involved in afternoon activities, there’s something for everyone. There’s no cost to come and go, but individual activities and meals in the dining hall may have a cost. Be on the lookout for more information coming and plan to attend as much as you can! If you enjoy camping, spots fill up fast, so contact fairmountcamp.org to reserve a space (and/or find out what options they have). While you’re on the grounds, stop by cabin W-17 and say hi to Pastor Jeff and Amy!
    • FWC has been asked to host each of the Sunday services around Family camp again this year. Mark your calendar – church service will move to Fairmount Camp on July 17 & 24, 10am (note change in time).
  • Tell us why you call FWC home – Our website will be getting a new look soon and we’d love to include testimonials of different ways people have found a church home at FWC. Would you share your reason? Reply to this email to share.
 
CONNECT WITH OTHERS
  • Summer Groups – Summer groups are here! Share a meal together, play and laugh together, pray together, do life together. Sign up for this round – June-August – here.
  • FWC Family Outing to Falls Park – Come explore Falls Park with your family at 460 Falls Park Dr, Pendleton, IN, July 30 at 10am. All are welcome! Click here for their website. We will meet together to enjoy trails and games and then eat together at noon (bring a picnic lunch for your family/party). Lawn chairs and yard games welcome. Sign-up here.
 
DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE
  • Book Recommendation – Understanding the Wounded Heart by Marcus Warner is an excellent book for anyone who has ever been wounded (wouldn’t that be all of us?!). It uncovers the lies we believe about ourselves, God, and others through our own wounding and how to discover the Truth. Check it out! The church has bought some copies in bulk if you’d like a discounted copy. Just reply to this email.
  • After Pastor Jeff’s Sermon on Spiritual Gifts – two people contacted Amy:
    • A 5-year-old asked to be on the Care Team. Woo-hoo! She is now writing cards to people in our congregation.
    • A 73-year-old submitted this poem she wrote:
      • I have no great achievements to proudly display, no Nobel prize, no hall of fame. But that’s not what is important to Him. For God sees potential in qualities within. Not how great we are or how important we look but if our name is on record in the precious Lamb’s book.
    • What a joy to be a part of this FWC family!
 
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
  • Donations – FWC is collecting donations for Fairmount Camp during the month of June. The camp is making strides in improving the grounds and structures and many of our people are involved in volunteering. If you’d like to participate, please note that with your regular tithes/offerings or drop off at the office. If you’d like to give of your time to help with a project on the grounds, see their volunteer page and contact them here.
  • July Giving Chest – Looking ahead to the July giving chest, we will be collecting sunscreen, mosquito repellent, ball caps, bandanas, and lip balm. These items can be placed in the chest at the bottom of the sanctuary steps near door #1.
