Associate Pastor, Youth and Family Ministry Search
Thank you for continuing to support the Pastoral Search Team with your prayers. As we continue to search for an Associate Pastor of Youth and Family, we are working diligently to find the man that God has for us. We are excited to see this emphasis on supporting families in all stages of life and hopeful that the Lord will bring us the right candidate in His perfect timing. We posted this position on September 10th and at the time of this writing have reached out to 24 potential candidates based on the resumes and information they've posted. We've also had 4 applicants for the position. While 3 of those did not move past the first stage, we are looking to move forward in gathering more information about 1. As always, we do appreciate your prayers! All are welcome to join us on Sundays at 10:45 for a time of corporate prayer in the sanctuary.
On behalf of the Pastoral Search Team,
Pastor Mike Schoenfeld
Save Your Cans
Ella Rose has graciously offered to collect aluminum cans to benefit the church youth. Please save your cans and put them in the barrel on the east side of the ‘Lighthouse’ building. If you don’t know where the Lighthouse building is, it’s to the left of the church office. Ella checks and empties the barrel periodically and turns in the proceeds to the church office. Thank you, Ella, for taking on this ministry!
Daily Bread's Discovery Series
You will notice outside the Prayer Room (by the coat rack), there are several different booklets available with interesting topics. Please feel free to take one or two. They are free!
Children's Church is in need of teachers. It would involve a one Sunday a month commitment. All supplies and lessons are provided and ready for you each Sunday. You do not need to have a teaching certificate or extensive Bible training or knowledge to be qualified. All we ask is that you have a personal relationship with Christ, attend church regularly, and are willing to share God's truths to the children. You can even learn alongside the children as you go. Please let me know if you are interested or if you have helped in the past and would like to continue helping.
Volunteers are still needed in the nursery! Lately ,we haven't had many children in our nursery at CFF. But, we want to make sure that if we have visitors that someone is available, especially if those visitors are looking for a church family. Please consider taking a monthly turn to make sure this ministry is available each Sunday morning. If you have any questions, please talk with Sarah Comstock.
Thank you, Sarah Comstock
