Pastor's Update 3/30/22 What's happening at First.

This past Saturday, our FBCUC Power Plant Kids Ministry hosted a Parent Seminar. Several parents met for breakfast, great conversations, and discussed some great topics on raising kids who stay in the faith!
Thanks to all who came and all who helped make it happen. We are praying for our parents to be warriors in their homes to raise up the next generation of Believers!

This Wednesday Night's Mission of God Class will have guest speaker Cameron Strange. Come join us as he shares about the End Task of Reaching the Nations through prayer and mission efforts.
Wednesday Night at 6:30 in Grace room 313

As part of our Wellness Reach Initiative, we hosted a Nutrition Class yesterday. Our very own Chef Jerry Reed demonstrated and prepared a delicious nutritional lunch of green leaf salad with strawberries and balsamic dressing, Mediterranean Chicken served with couscous, fresh fruit cup.
We were also joined by Nutritionist, Ms. Maggie Farrell. Maggie discussed topics such as how to read nutrition labels, what a balance meal looks like, serving sizes, recommended portions of fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy.

Thanks to Elizabeth Browne for leading this event. And a special thanks to all the helping hands, Richard and Linda Gillis, Fawn Reed, Dennis Becker, Jean Dukes, and three young ladies (Autumn, Hanna, Marie) from the Youth Program.

Over 50 students, leaders and parents spent their morning serving our church! We are so proud of them!

We love our kids. We want to be good parents. We want our kids to know God and grow in their relationship with Him. But trends show that our culture is increasingly secular with fewer young generations staying in the church. Families are busy and fill their lives pursuing what is practical in their eyes.
In today’s culture, what can parents do to help their kids know God and continue to stay in a growing, thriving relationship with Him? This seminar reveals the top 10 influencers of spiritual health to guide parents to avoid negative influences and focus on what’s most important to your child. Join us as we gather together to dig through these things together.
If you are raising a child, you’re invited to join us for breakfast and some time to look over these truths revealed through a study of 2,000 Protestant parents of 18-30 year olds. We’ll talk about what works, what helps, and what we thought mattered and maybe doesn’t.
Sponsored by FBCUC Power Plant Kids This a free event and includes breakfast. You do not have to be a member to participate.
Activities for kids Grades 1-5 Available during the event. Register your child with your adult registration.

This past Sunday, our Upward Sports season came to a close with our annual End of Season Awards Celebration. It was a fun time for families and friends of our athletes to come together and look back at what God has done throughout the season.
Special thanks to all our volunteer coaches and referees for helping make this season a success!

We are so proud of our FBCUC Student Ministry students and the adult leaders who spent this past weekend in community and praising our Lord. D-Now was a great success with 108 people from our church and 10 host homes involved in the event.
