Children's Ministry Needs Volunteers
[Announcements]
There is a real need for additional teachers and helpers in our children's classrooms on Sunday mornings. As a reminder, we ask that all parents whose children participate in Early Childhood Education or Elementary Education, serve at least once a month in one of the classrooms. Of course, we are looking for and relying on others of you who may have the flexibility, passion or "call" to serve more than once a month in our children's classrooms as well. As it stands, there are many holes in our monthly classroom volunteer list. Ideally we'd like to establish a complete monthly schedule of teachers and helpers to create better consistency and in turn continue to provide quality care and education for each child. Please contact Shelleena McConnell (Children's Ministry Director) at children@firstfamilyministries.com to get on the volunteer schedule!
'Winning at Work' Men's Event
[Announcements]
The Men’s Ministry will host the “Winning at Work” event on September 17 at 6 p.m. at a camp site near the Saylorville dam (directions and specific location TBA). The evening will include a guest speaker and discussion, and be followed by fellowship and an overnight camp out. If you are interested or would like more info, contact Nate Pritchard 515-724-3297 or njpritchard35@hotmail.com.
Christmas Sweet Orchestra
[Announcements]
During Christmas, FFC will hold a multi-night Christmas event called, “A Christmas Sweet.” If you play a symphonic instrument (strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion) and if you are high school age and up, please consider auditioning!
Communion will be observed in our Lighthouses during the months of September and October.
With the new school year officially started, that means a new ministry year is around the corner. The Fall Ministry Expo is your opportunity to see all of our Lighthouses available around the area, meet the Lighthouse leaders or members from their group, and most importantly, signup to become a part of a Lighthouse! Also during the Fall Expo we will have many of our ministries on display with information and volunteer opportunities. Whether you have considered becoming a part of the House of Praise tech crew or teaching in the Children’s Ministry, you can find your place of service at First Family this fall. The Ministry Expo will be on Sunday, August 29, Sept. 5 and Sept. 12 before and after the morning celebration services.

Unfinished Project Night
[Announcements]
The Women's Ministry "Unfinished Project Night" is held the 4th Friday of every month from 6-11 p.m. in the cafe area. Bring along your scrapbooking, knitting, crochet and cross-stitch projects, (stamping and card making and any other craft is welcomed too…) and socialize while you work away! This is the perfect opportunity to get ideas, learn or master a skill, or just meet someone new.
