Flowers in the Sanctuary

Today’s flowers are given to the glory of God  

by Yvonne Rose,

in loving memory of her husband, Bruce, on his birthday.

"I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes."

WNL Class: Theology 101 (Led by Rev. Seth Saathoff)

Justification. Sanctification. Incarnation. Atonement. Christology. Pneumatology. Ecclesiology. Eschatology. Hypostatic union.  

 Whether you’re new to the faith or a lifelong Christian, you may have trouble articulating what any of these terms mean. Perhaps you’ve heard them in church before, maybe you vaguely remember your middle school Sunday School teacher talking about them, or perhaps your sweet Baptist next-door neighbor mentioned one of these words in passing and you still have no idea what they were talking about.

Whatever the case, this is the class for you.   During this Wednesday Night Live class, Rev. Saathoff will offer a broad overview of key theological ideas and terms. This class will be taught with the assumption that you are encountering these concepts for the very first time, so it is perfect for beginners, those who haven’t been to church in a while, or those who could use a refresher course.  

Called Congregational Meeting January 19^th

The session has approved calling a congregational meeting for Sunday,   January 19, 2025 during the 11:00 a.m. service. This is for the purpose of the 2024 Officer Nominating Committee presenting a candidate for the position of Trustee for the Class of 2027.  

20^s, 30^s, and 40^s Get Together

Friday, January 17, 6:00-9:00 p.m.

Join us for food, games, and fellowship!   Childcare will be offered at the church.   Contact Katy Saathoff (806) 239-7029 for details.

Need Your Help Closing Doors

With the colder weather setting in, some of the church’s exterior doors are not coming to a complete close on their own. We ask that as you leave the building, regardless of which doors you’re exiting from, that you make sure the door(s) close completely behind you before walking away. This simple safety measure would make sure our campus is secure for those entering after you.

Thank you for helping out in this way.

Fellowship Sunday School Class

Fellowship Sunday School class plans to remain together and would welcome new members. Debra Geddes, Glenna Lang and Glenn Elms plan to take turns teaching.

We meet at 9:30 a.m. on Sundays, in Room 204. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be looking for ideas for the upcoming studies.

 Please join us if you would like to help decide our path. This is a great opportunity to get plugged in and participate in our Sunday morning classes. Please contact Glenn Elms at geatelms80@consolidated.net. Hope to see you soon!

Missions Committee Request Form Available

The Missions Committee has created an effective way for members of the con gregation to request a one-time donation for the church to make to an organiza tion, non-profit, or individual. While we are a generous congregation, there are limited funds each year for these one-time requests.

The Missions Committee Request Form can be picked up from/returned to Catherine Scheffler’s mailbox in the church office. You can also contact her at scscheffler@sbcglobal.net or (713) 715-9766 with questions or to get more information.  

Church Directory Corrections

The Membership Committee is working on an updated listing/ supplement for the recently printed Member Directory. If your information (address, phone #, email, etc.) was incorrect or needs to be updated, please send your information to Steve Scheffler at scscheffler@sbcglobal.net BY NO LATER THAN JANUARY 31. We will print an updated page or pages that will be made available to all church members.

Wear Your Name Badges!

To help Rev. Saathoff and his wife, Katy, get to know us easier, members are encouraged to wear their name badges on Sunday, September 15, and subsequent Sundays as well.

In case you’ve lost your badge or need a replacement, new badges with magnetic backings have been printed and are available in the narthex. Please see Pat Hudson if you have any questions.  

Also, all church members are asked to wear their name badges when visiting FPC and/or PDS. Anyone that does not have a badge should stop at the FPC office and get one before entering any other area of the building. While this may take a little extra time, it is necessary that we provide a safe environment for our school children, teachers and staff members. We appreciate your under standing.

Pastoral Care

For any of those who are wondering about Rev. Callie Candee, she will be with us a little longer to assist with pastoral care. We won’t let her get away without showing our appreciation for her important contribution to our church as well.  Rev. Candee is available for phone and home visits and can be contacted directly via the church's emergency phone at (936) 290-4535. 

Weekly Events ...

Our 2024 flower calendar is available at the Welcome Desk if you would like to sign up for a flower dedication. The flowers always contribute nicely to our Sunday worship services,
and they are yours to take home if you so wish.
