Operation Christmas Child Packing Party
Monday, October 12 & Tuesday, October 13 - 6-8:00 p.m.
FBC it is time for us to gather to pack our 2400 Operation Christmas Child gospel opportunities! In light of the current COVID situation, we are going to host the pack a little differently this year. In order that we can all spread out a little, we are going to have a two night packing party. We will need all hands on deck to prep these precious messages of hope through Jesus Christ. This is a great opportunity to come with your family, home church, friends, and teammates. We will be wearing masks during the pack. To sign up for one of the 2 nights, register at www.fellowshipconway.org/occ. Child care for 6 years old and under.
RSVP to Shanna at shann@conwaycorp.net
This will help us to space people/families accordingly.
We are looking forward to this fun and important night of packing!
New to Fellowship?
We are so glad that you joined the Fellowship Family to worship this morning. If you are joining us for the first time or have been checking us out for a few weeks, we are excited you are here and would love to meet you. If you would fill out the “Connect” section of your bulletin, tear it off, and bring it to the Connection Center in the Atrium, we would love to say “hi” and give you a gift.
Feed the Need 2020
The Conway Ministry Center is in need of food to continue serving those hurting in our community. You can give at your favorite grocery store through in-store shopping October 4-11 or give financially online at ConwayMinistryCenter.org. Every dollar given goes a long way. For example, $10 feeds 10 people for 1 day. $100 buys roughly 140 pounds of food. For more information, go to Fellowshipconway.org/register.
Elders and prayer team available
During both worship services, we will have elders and/or members of our prayer team under the “Hope” and “Love” signs in the front corners of the worship center. They are available to pray for you after the sermon during the praise time (while singing). Make your way to either side and someone will step into the hallway with you to pray. We count it an honor to come along side of you in prayer.
Home Church
Fellowship’s small group ministry connects our community by building deep
relationships with other believers through the bonds of Christ. Together you will study God’s Word, pray, and serve with one another. To get connected go to Fellowshipconway.org/homechurch.
Fellowship App
Have you downloaded the Fellowship App? During the summer, we made some improvements and updates to the app. To download, go to your app store and search “Fellowship Conway”. If you have not opened your app in a while, you will be asked to update to the new app.
Don’t Walk Alone
During this time of uncertainty, please have people you can walk with that
encourage you towards the Lord. Fear, depression, struggles, and so much more has consumed many of us. Staying in isolation will compound this. Reach out to your Home Church or one of the pastors here at Fellowship (call 501-327-3444). If you want professional counseling, Matt Spicer (call 501-291-2629) is a Christian counselor that has an office here at Fellowship. Matt does not take insurance, but does discount for Fellowship members.
