facWEEKLY April 19
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
Acts: Movement and Mission | Week 3: In the Name of Jesus | Acts 3
Names that people have can have some really funny stories or deeply interesting family connections. Names tell a story and sometimes we need new stories and new names. This week we see that there’s something powerful about the name of Jesus, as we continue our series exploring the movement and mission of the church found in the early days following “Easter," in the book of Acts.
Finding My Fit
Date: Sundays, April 21–May 19
Time: 11am
Place: in Room B106
Finding My Fit is a 5-week course designed to help you discover your spiritual gifts and how you can use them not only at church, but also at work and in your relationships with others. Come and learn how you are uniquely created and designed by God. This course will be led by Tim Cotton and Joshua Clark.
Today is the last day to register using the link below.
HOPE Sewing
Date: Monday, April 22
Time: 10am
Place: in Room F201 (meet at the church office)
One of the most desired items for a refugee woman is a sewing machine. Last summer over a dozen Afghan women were delighted to attend a sewing class a few days a week and share tea and bible stories. HOPE Ministries is restarting its English sewing class this May and is looking for interested volunteers. You don't need to be a master seamstress; all levels of ability are appreciated. Come to our information meeting Monday, April 22 at 10am to learn more.
We're also looking for large segments of fabric, no scraps please. Donations are being collected Sunday morning in the lobby.

Prayer for International Workers
Bob and Cheryl are international workers supported by FAC. Pray for the Marriage Encounter retreat that will take place this weekend (4/19–21) at Breath of Life church in Guadalajara. Pray for all involved and for Bob and Cheryl as they are flying back to minister there.
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 Bob and Cheryl in ministry by giving to the Great Commission 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.

"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).
