This weekend, November 12-13, FC is serving communion in all worship experiences and could use your help (unless you are already serving somewhere). You would arrive 30 minutes prior to the worship experience you are serving in for a training time so you’ll be ready to rock and roll. This is a great experience for our church, and your participation will make a difference! To let them know when you will be able to serve, go to www.Fellowshipchurch.com/communion and sign up.

Have a great weekend!

We missed seeing everyone at the last home team meeting! I heard it was amazing and the Wrights did a wonderful job leading. Thanks everyone for stepping up and making it happen while we were away! Please make note of the following announcements. 

HT Meeting
The next HT meeting is October 21, 2011 at 7:30pm. The McCaslands will be hosting and bringing snacks (thanks, guys!!!). Their address is 1722 Briaroaks Drive Flower Mound 75028. Keep an eye on your email for an Evite and RSVP so we have an idea of  how many will be attending (this really helps the snack providers!)

The Great TREAT-tastic Adventure
Fun for the kids of the house!  On October 29 & 30^th during all FCKIDS services, Fellowship will have candy, costumes, prizes, scavenger hunts, costume contests, and a bring a friend contest.  They are asking that our FC HTs come together and donate peanut-free, individually wrapped candy in unopened candy bag.  If you are able to help out, please bring the candy to the next HT meeting. The candy can also be dropped off at the information kiosk or volunteer central.

We love you all and can’t wait to see you next Friday!

Jim & Kara

Our next HomeTeam will be this Friday, 7 October, at 7:30pm! We feel like we haven’t seen you guys in FOREVER! We will, unfortunately, be out of town, so Carson and Jesica are going to lead the second lesson in our current study, Virtuous Reality.

Here’s the rub: we need a place to meet, and someone to bring snacks! Can anyone out there host for us? Who would like to bring a little something to nosh, and who would like to bring drinks?

Thanks, all!
Jim & Kara

Are you staying cool in the middle of this heat wave? We wanted to send out a quick note to update you on the restart of HomeTeam this fall. We’re looking to begin meeting again in September, and are planning a get-together towards the end of August, so keep your eyes peeled for another update as we get a little closer!

Hope you’re all having a wonderful summer!
