2024 Faith Church Photo Directory. A more relaxed version this time. You can submit your own photo (a head and shoulders shot of individuals; couples and families should be together on one photo). OR, you can have your picture taken here at church. Sign up in the Narthex for a timeslot between Sunday School and Worship on any Sunday in May. Kim Cramer is our photographer. The new photo directory will be distributed electronically in early July, Lord willing!

Sanctuary Flowers. Kathy Moore is overseeing this precious new ministry, which brightens our sanctuary and then the homes of our church family members after church each Sunday. If you can help or donate, please see Kathy. kathrynmoore43@gmail.com
Cookbook Deadline—August 31! We want all your favorites for our church cookbook! Please email Mary Hudzinski with your submissions in every category (main dishes, sides, desserts, soups, etc.). Email address is fpccookbook@pa.net. If electronic submission isn’t possible for you, please use the paper forms provided on the Narthex table.
New Men’s Bible Study. First Peter with Charlie Van Meter meets every other Tuesday from 5-6pm at the church. In May that will be the 14th and the 28th. All Men of Faith Church are invited to attend.
Coming Events:
Spring Sparkle Day! On Saturday, May 25, take the opportunity to serve your church by helping to clean and improve the physical building.

Featured this month are John and Rachel Clifford. John, from Cape Town, South Africa, and his wife Rachel, from the U.S., have dedicated their lives to mission work across Africa. They settled in Kigali, Rwanda, after John studied at Reformed Theological Seminary in Washington D.C. In Kigali, they support new church plants, train leaders at a Bible college, and manage a missionary internship program, aiming to make Kigali a hub for dispatching missionaries and church leaders throughout Africa. Their work is crucial in developing gospel-centered communities across the continent.
