Happy Wednesday to you!

Keep drinking that water and stay cool! It's been a scorcher out there!

We have five items this week! (324 words; ~1.5 minute read time)

1. 📖 DEVOTIONAL TIME!

We're in week 3 of our anniversary devotional and we're praying through the area of fellowship. Let's continue to seek God together for the next steps in FECC!

• If you need a digital copy of the devotional, you can download it here.
• ✌️ The current devotional is part one of two. Part two covering weeks five through eight will begin distribution this weekend and the next. Make sure you pick up a copy to stay on track!

2. 🌎 URBANA 2025

College students and recent graduates are invited to join in the triennial Urbana Missions Conference being held in Phoenix, AZ! We would love to be able to sponsor some folks to be participate in this event.

• Dates are December 28, 2025 - January 1, 2026!
• Registration is $320 per person but the church will cover your fee if you decide to go! You'll just need to figure out room and board and transportation.

Let me know if you'd like to go!

3. 🎶 WANT TO HELP?

Last call for helping with the worship ministry for this next quarter! Would love to have you join in if you're available! I'm going to be putting together the scheduling starting next week!

4. 🙌 FELLOWSHIPS STARTING UP IN SEPTEMBER!

Just a reminder that we'll be resuming our groups in September! This will be a good chance for you to connect and encourage others!

5. ⛪️ PRAY FOR THE PASTORAL STAFF

Next Tuesday to Thursday, the pastoral staff will have their annual planning retreat at Prince of Peace Abbey in Oceanside. Please pray for us as we plan for 2026 and beyond. It would be much appreciated!

You're amazing and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
