The FCC sermon for August 30th was delivered by Rev. Ronnie Mitchell,. and is titled When God Says Wait! The relevant scripture is John 11, the entire chapter, which tells the story of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus despite him being dead four days. Here's how the story ends. 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but

We've still got three weeks of summer, but the act of turning the calendar page to September means we can dream of cooler temperatures in autumn, which begins September 22nd. Bailee is really looking to the future, and encourages everyone to start collecting gift items for Operation Christmas Child. Boxes will be sent in November, but school supplies are on sale right now. Elders for September will be Mike Lewis and Denise Holly. Deacons will be Joyce Brown, Deanna Darr, Rob

Twice in the past, in 2022 and 2023, FCC staged a Vacation Bible School that involved everyone in the church. We called it the Jerusalem Market. The idea was to recreate what life was like in Jerusalem during Jesus' time, as best we could with the available resources. We set up market stalls selling wares and conducting government business in the fellowship hall. Adult volunteers appeared in costume to run the stalls and teach children about life in the first century, incorpo

The FCC sermon for August 16th is titled The Holy Word of God. The relevant scripture is 1 Peter 1: 22-2:3. 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of

Here's something that stayed with me. Maybe you noticed it, too. Bailee was at the FCC Facebook group trying to fill out the Saturday schedule for Faith Quest's NIBROC fundraiser. Mike Lewis responded that he could take over at 4, but he might be a little late because he's scheduled at NIBROC until four. Now, we know why Mike is working at the fair. He's manning the booth to raise funds for the Corbin Community Backpack Program. The next day, Bailee was back looking for someo

The FCC sermon was not recorded on video August 9th because everything about the service was different. We went into it thinking it was an emergency workaround, and came out of it feeling blessed. We knew many people would be missing because of scheduled vacation trips. But others were out due to sudden illnesses or utility problems. And something had happened in the building. Maybe a storm had tripped some circuit breakers, and the result was that the air conditioning had be

We are deep in the heat of summer. The days are long and hot. The sun washes everything with its glowing light. This year has been an excellent growing season with the rain being just right and the results are gardens laden with vegetables and flowers aburst in all their God-created glory. It is interesting how when I was younger, I never saw and appreciated the fullness of this season. It was not until years later that I had a dear friend who received a degree in horticultu

Pastor Tibbs' sermon on August 2nd is titled The Test of Trials. It is the second sermon of the series called Steadfast Christianity! The relevant scripture is 1 Peter 1: 5-13. 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishet

August is often the hottest month of the year, but it also signals the end of summer and a shift back into regular life for a lot of people. This month brings us the NIBROC Festival and the beginning of the school year. We've had a lot of folks out of church each week this summer due to vacations, family reunions, and unfortunately some illnesses. We hope to see them all back, and welcome new friends, too! Elders for the month of August are Bertha Prewitt and Gail Baker. Deac
