Valentine Banquet
We are planning a Valentine Banquet for Sunday, February 12 at 6pm downstairs at the church. If you are interested in attending, please see the sign-up sheet at the back table. This year's banquet is a 50's Theme with a Milk Shake Drinking Contest, Games and more! The cost will be on a donation basis.

Soup or Bowl Challenge
First Christian Church has joined together with area churches in an effort to stock the Food Pantry with soup. We will be collecting cans of soup until February 26. The church that collects the most cans of soup will be presented with a football grill with our church name imprinted. It will become a traveling award for future years. Please drop off your cans of soup in the barrel located in the church foyer, and thank you for your generosity!

Sunday Night Small Group
Join Dennis Coull Sunday evenings from 6-7pm at the church annex as he leads a small group study on Biblical characters and how God uses everyday people to do extraordinary things. Everyone is welcome to attend!

Wednesday Night Adult Bible Study
Wednesdays at 7:00pm each week Gary Schell is leading an adult bible study. Join him in a time of reflection and study of God's Word. The current study is focused on the topic: "Does the Truth Matter Anymore?"

New to FCC?
Join Discover FCC
Discover FCC is offered to all new attendees at First Christian as a way for you to get to know us and others in the church, as well as for us to get to know you. This class is offered one Sunday afternoon each month following our second worship service from 12:15 - 1:30pm in room #11 downstairs. This is an opportunity to have "Pizza with the Preacher" and is an introduction to the life and ministry of First Christian hosted by our Lead Minister, Scott Hultgren. As the name implies, pizza is provided! "Discover FCC" talks specifically about how you can take the next steps in your involvement with First Christian Church. Nursery and childcare are available through 6th grade. The next Discover FCC class will be held Sunday, March 4. Please indicate you would like to attend by marking the attendance slip in the bulletin or call the church office at 342-5707. We look forward to seeing you!

Simulcast Event: Love Costs Everything
Wednesday, March 7 at 7pm, in the First Christian Church Auditorium, we will be showing the critically acclaimed documentary film "Love Costs Everything" with an important message from Francis Chan and experts on the subject of the persecuted church. Persecution is a reality for nearly two hundred million Christians around the world. Daily, they risk their lives simply because they believe in Jesus. They could surrender, convert or quit, but the love of Jesus is worth the sacrifice. For many of them, this road leads to death. Please join us for this important, informational and life-changing documentary.

Courageous Bible Study
FCC will begin a 12 week adult Bible Study -Honor Begins at Home, based on the movie "Courageous" starting Sunday, February 5 at 9am in the Church Annex Classroom. This study will help men and women prepare to leave a legacy of faithfulness for their children and for generations to come. Parents and Grandparents are welcome to join this class lead by Patrick and Cynthia Clinch. The class is being offered for free by our church, but is limited to twenty individuals.

Hope Center Donations
We will be collecting donations for the Hope Center as an on-going part of our CSI projects. Items they are in need of include: Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, Deodorant, Warm Socks (men's), Stamps, and Phone Cards. We will take the items over as we receive them. Please leave your donations in the bin marked in the church foyer, and thank you for your generosity in filling a need for our community!
