Hanging of the Greens Service is Up! As with so much in 2020, our FCC Hanging of the Greens service looks different from normal. Our children & youth have stepped up to lead this service in such a powerful and inspiring way. Children & Youth have sent us videos of readings and photos of nativity pieces, poinsettias, and Chrismons to be used in the service. Children & Youth also recorded segments of the service in safe, socially distant video recording sessions. The results are so good! Even with collecting and editing each video and putting the service together over the course of weeks, when watching the entire video as a complete service, I've been inspired, and I feel more spiritually
Please be aware: Wolf Pen Branch Road, between US 42 and its intersection with Barbour Lane and Green Spring, remains intermittently closed for utility work and construction of a new turn lane. Though you may be able to access Wolf Pen Branch Road, please plan to use the US 42 entrance when you visit - the gate will be open for access to the parking lot! Please do not leave items for the church and church staff in the mailbox off Wolf Pen Branch Road. You may leave drop-off items on the covered porch between the office building and community room.
We celebrate with the Dietz family that Ava received a liver transplant and continue to pray for them as her body recovers from this difficult surgery! We hope to continue sending them well wishes. We invite you write out your prayers for them, color Ava a picture, or send them cards. This will be a long road for Ava and her parents, so let’s continue to support them on this journey. If you have a directory (contact Gina for a PDF copy of the directory), you can send directly to them. Otherwise, you can send them to the church office, addressed to Rev. Merideth Sprigler, ATTN: Dietz. We will drop off a care package with any notes that are sent in. Thank you for your care for this family!

Every year we extend calls to individuals in our church to accept a variety of leadership positions. By answering this call, these faithful members help our church serve Christ more faithfully. Because of the importance of these positions, we take the process of arriving at nominations to fill them very seriously.

Please take a few minutes to prayerfully consider which of our members may be a great servant leader for 2021. You can find out more about the positions open and submit your nominations here.
