facWEEKLY September 20
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
Glory & Dominion: The Allure of the Apocalypse | Revelation 1
Join us this week as we begin a new series in Revelation, focused on the 7 letters to the 7 churches. We will see how, in a world filled with evil, evil intentions, and a growing resistance to Jesus Christ and the things of Christ’s kingdom, we can have assurances of Christ’s victory—his glory and dominion (Revelation 1:6). Yet, at the forefront of this epic prophecy, is a challenge to the churches of that day and in the ages to come. To those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, let us be alert to the Spirit of God in our hearts and in our churches.
Cultural IQ
Date: Sunday, September 22
Time: 6:30–8:30pm
Place: in room E215
As our city grows more diverse, we have more opportunities to connect with people of different cultures from around the world. If you worry about how to start those conversations, then join us and increase your Cultural IQ! Brother Christoph grew up in a Christian home but in an Islamic country. He's returning to continue the conversation about sharing hope with Muslims.
Don't miss this great event! Dessert will be provided.

Hey, Gen-X and Millennials at FAC! Do you wonder how to make friends at our age (25-55)? Do you long for stronger relationships in the church? Do you want to reach your neighbors or get involved in community ministry? Do you want to live life together? Let’s start by reading the Bible together and see where God leads us! Join us on Sunday mornings to explore His word together, discuss questions we have, learn how to be planted in His truths, and drink delicious coffee (of course). We welcome your children of any age. We don’t have childcare at the moment, but we’re praying for it in the future!
