First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Sixth Sunday After Epiphany February 12, 2012 11:10am
The Congregation Gathers Worship begins with songs and the sharing of Christs peace. Sharing the Word As part of our service today, we will share stories and read scripture. We will view A Thousand Questions (see insert for words) video today and it is a celebration of mission. Joys, Concerns and Pastoral Prayer Gods heart is always open to Gods people and so we are called together to lift celebrations and concerns in prayer. God joins us in our deepest moments of pain and our greatest moments of joy...and everything in between. We take this time to pray for ourselves, the church, and the world in word and song. Sharing of Ourselves and God in Thanksgiving At the table of God, we offer ourselves and the work of our hands in service to God and the church in the world. In thanksgiving, we bring financial gifts as well as gifts of time and energy and sometimes other gifts like food for the food panty. We also bring bread and cup to place on the table. Communion is observed weekly. This is Christs table and all believers in Him are invited partake. If you wish to participate, please come forward at the invitation to the table. Communion is served by intinction (dipping your bread in the chalice). The Congregation Scatters to Serve At the closing of worship, all are invited to commit or recommit ourselves to following Jesus. We are sent forth into the world in song, charged to be disciples in our daily lives.
Nursery: Children are always welcome in the service. We do provide a nursery for newborn - 3 years old for anyone who prefers to take their little ones there. Worship and Wonder: In room 117, the children will hear Bible stories and learn about God while experiencing the presence of God. Children ages 3 to 10 are invited to participate during the service. They will gather in the narthex during the passing of Christs peace and go together.

Be The Church, Feb. 19-26)

FCC is taking action during the Week of Compassion (Feb. 19-26) by collaborating with 8 local nonprofit organizations. The goal of this local outreach is to make an impact on our community by providing Action Teams of volunteers to work on projects that the agencies might not have the time or human resources to complete. The nonprofits we are working with are: Habitat for Humanity (building family homes), Habitat ReStore (recycling of home hardware, fixtures, etc. via public sales), Life Center (adult day services), Mission of Hope (adult homeless shelter), Payne County Youth Services (youth shelter and counseling), Saville Center (one-stop center for victims of abuse), Stillwater Humane Society (animal shelter and adoptions), and Wings of Hope family crisis center. Team leaders are Linda and Sonny Apman, Steve Armbruster, Leila and Craig Beeby, Ron Beer, Sharon and Bill Brown, Judith and Ron Elliott, Carolyn Hert, and Diana and Wade Watkins. Times, days, and projects for each organization will vary, so check the display in the church Welcome Center for specifics. To volunteer, just sign up in the Welcome Center or contact Sharon Wright: sharon@brightok.net or Jessica Ley: leyfam@gmail.com

It is the desire of our elders to be available for spiritual care. If you have a need with which the elders may be of assistance, please complete this card, tear it out, and place it in the provided box in the Narthex.
