All Church Officers, Mission Chairs, and Mission Council Members are invited to attend the Mission Council meeting on Tuesday, October 4 at 6:30 pm. 

On Sunday, October 2, we will have a Homecoming Sunday. Invite friends living in Birmingham who once attended First Christian to come back to renew friendships and celebrate precious memories.
The service will be led by Edd. Edd will share the last in his three-week sermon series titled “Spiritual Reflections on Mud”. October 2, is World Communion Sunday, and we will celebrate this moment of communion with Christians around the world.
Following the service, Fellowship Mission is providing a great dinner of turkey and trimmings, The cost for the meal will be $7 for adults, $3 for children 5-10 years old, and children under 5 are free.
So invite someone you know that has attended First Christian in the past. Come and celebrate Homecoming and our 137th year of sharing the Lord with Birmingham.
           

At the next Men’s Gathering we will share ideas regarding prospective projects including Habitat for Humanity as well as our visiting speaker.  Go ahead and put this on your schedule.

    How well do you know your child(ren), teenager(s), or grandchildren? And how well do you think that they know you?   We are planning an evening of fun and games as the adults match up with their children. You are guaranteed to have a good laugh as we discover just how much we all know about each other. We will also do some non- threatening competition games. So plan on attending this night of family fun. 

    At this meeting we will also invite and encourage parents/grandparents to bring the updated information for our health forms and permission slips. The adults will also have an opportunity to pay in advance for the children's snack suppers as well as sign up to prepare one. Plan now to attend and remember to bring your child's updated information and your check book. See you there!
