facWEEKLY March 22
We hope you've had a good week, FAC Family! Here are just some of the great things happening in the coming weeks.
Worship This Sunday
PALM SUNDAY | Matthew 21:1-11
Have you ever been a part of a parade? Have you ever walked the road throwing out candy, or ridden on the float, or driven the car? There’s something exciting and exhilarating about being in a parade. But there’s also a noticeable difference between being in a parade and being on the sidelines. There really are two different perspectives, and two different crowds.
This Sunday we enter Holy Week with a message on Palm Sunday, from Matthew 21:1-11.
FYI
In observance of Good Friday, the church office will be closed on Friday, March 29.
Good Friday and Easter Services
GOOD FRIDAY
Date: Friday, March 29
Time: 7:00pm
Place: in the Worship Center
EASTER
Date: Sunday, March 31
Time: 9:30am & 11am
Place: in the Worship Center
Join us on Good Friday for a service of remembrance and reflection, as we consider the meaning of the cross and Jesus’ crucifixion, and on Easter Sunday as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the VICTORY that it means for us. Both of our Easter services will feature the same music, readings, and encouragement to realize how powerful the resurrection of Christ is for us, even today.
There will be no child care on Good Friday. The Children’s Ministry will take place as usual at the 11:00 service on Easter.
Come celebrate with us and invite a friend!
facMEN's Bible Study
Date: Saturdays starting April 6
Time: 9–10:30am
Place: in Room E215
Men, do you desire to be connected with other guys from church to do life together, grow in your faith, and challenge each other? You're invited to our next study, The Christian Atheist by Craig Groeschel, where we'll take an honest moment and ask the question: Am I putting my whole faith in God but still living as if everything was up to me? facMEN will journey toward a more authentic, God-honoring life and be challenged to take an honest look at our lives. There is no cost to attend. Contact Wes Palmer at wbpalmer8@gmail.com with questions or for more information.

Prayer for International Workers
David and Brenda Aderholdt are international workers supported by FAC. They serve the Macedonian community. Pray for the Ana Leadership team (ministry to women in Macedonia) as they plan their Ana Leaders retreat on April 19–20. The team is made up of many gifted women!
You can learn more about them by picking up a copy of our “Prayer Guide for World Missions” near The Hub and you can partner with David and Brenda in ministry by giving to the FAC Missions Fund.
Sunday Footnotes:
A gentle reminder to our Sunday family: if the service has already started, please refrain from using the center aisle to enter or leave the worship center, especially during the sermon time. Our camera operator needs a clear view of the pulpit.
Do You Have a Prayer Request or Praise?
"Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere" (Ephesians 6:18, NLT).
The staff and elders at FAC would love to pray for you. Send your request or praise to Pastor Scott through the form below.
