Sunday
The last week has been cause for deep lament as we continued to witness suffering in our city. We hope you had a chance to hear an audio update from Pastor John Jay on the immigration happenings and how we are feeling called to respond. Our spiritual practices will remain critical as we engage with this work, and we know many of you could use a contemplative space to pray and process. This Sunday the Chapel will be open from 9-10am. Come to light a candle, sit and pray, or ask a prayer team member to pray with you in this space.
Join us at 10:30am for worship in the Sanctuary! Our scripture this week is Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31. The nursery will be open as usual for our toddlers and babies. Our kids five years old and up can join us for the first part of worship and then will be dismissed to their classrooms with their leaders. They can sit with their parents or join us in the front rows at the start of service. Our youth will not be meeting this week to provide extra time with families on Father’s Day. The Prayer team will be available at the front of the Sanctuary toward the end of the service to pray with those who would like to receive prayer.
The Friends In Deed food pantry item this week is fruit or vegetable juice.
Kids Camp starts Mon!
This year’s theme is "Lock In" where we’ll be exploring what it looks like to attune, abide, ground and focus just like Jesus did. Campers and volunteers, don’t forget your sunscreen, water bottle and active wear. Contact Pastor Andrew with any questions!
Coming Up

Our next All-Church potluck is coming up on Sunday, June 29th, after worship in the gym. Based on your last name, if you’re able, please bring a main dish (A-J), a side or salad (K-R), or dessert (S-Z) of about 8-10 servings to share with your friends here at FBCP.
