A new beginning…

A new beginning! Stay tuned for a brand new direction, and a brand new purpose for this blog.

FX Vision and Hope

Hello FX family,

Grace and peace to you in the gracious, unending love of Jesus Christ. As you might have heard, this Saturday will be the last “FX service”, but it is not the end of the kind of ministry that so many of us have been blessed by in the past.

In short, the reason we decided to move away from a monthly FX service is so that we can put more focused energy into more frequent small group gatherings that would meet at least two times a month. Then, we would have all the small groups come together for a quarterly, large night of worship and encourgament.

Note- this quarterly worship will be open to not only small groups from Faith UMC, but any small group who would like to join other small groups for a night of worship and encouragement.

This Saturday will not only be the last FX service, but will be a vision cast for the future. To learn more about our future direction, please attend this Saturday and we can not only celebrate what God has done, but what God is calling us to in the upcoming year.

So filled with hope and anticipation,

Rev. Ken

PS- Our first quarterly, all-small group worship night will be Sunday October 11 at 5pm.

PPS- Individuals who are not in a small group will be given a group for the evening at the quarterly worship gatherings.

PPPS- If you would like to join a small group, please let me know.

This Saturday’s FX – a conclusion

Greetings, FX family and friends -

Please join us this Saturday for a very special worship service as we not only conclude The Upside Down Revolution - our study on the Sermon on the Mount – but also conclude the regularly scheduled series of monthly worship gatherings that we affectionately refer to as FX!

Over the last several years, you have been part of this faithful community of worshipers, gathering on the second Saturday of the month to sing, to pray, to learn, to grow and to be feed both literally and spiritually. We now invite you join us one more time as we celebrate the FX ministry, and be with us as we announce an exciting, new chapter of spiritual formation at Faith.

Yes, Come and see what the future will be!!

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. Matthew 7:24-25

Upside Down Revolution – Saturday June 13

Greetings, FX Family and friends -

Please join us this Saturday as we continue the Upside Down Revolution, our study on the Greatest Sermon Ever – the Sermon on the Mount. This month, the message will focus on anger and forgiveness.

Anger

“You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’ But I say, if you are even angry with someone,you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot,you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone,you are in danger of the fires of hell.”

Matthew 5:21-22 (New Living Translation)

Please invite your friends and family!
