THIS WEEK

Welcome Home Service Times

We will be joining together for worship with those at home by livestreaming all our services on faclex.tv. You can visit our website and click on the faclex.tv button, or you can type faclex.tv into your browser and go!

If you aren’t able to watch a service live, visit the Weekly Services section of our website to watch anytime after 1pm on Sunday.

Due to the Governor’s executive order, we ask that everyone wear masks to all three of our Sunday services. Thank you!

Serve with Next Gen Ministries

We are so excited to reopen our Next Gen (birth through high school) spaces on August 16th!

While we need volunteers in ALL age groups, our biggest needs are for preschool teachers and middle school small group leaders. Please take some time to prayerfully consider serving with the kids and students of FAC. Whether teaching preschoolers gets you excited or discipling high school boys is more your speed, we need you!

Let us know if you are interested in serving with us or would like more information! You can also connect with one of our Next Gen pastors after service on a Sunday morning!

Cleaning Team Needs

We are grateful for the many people who have joined our teams in helping to reopen and regather. We are in need of more people to serve on our cleaning teams! If you would be willing to join the team on Sunday mornings during and after services go to our website and let us know! We will be in touch with you to find the Sundays and service time that works best for you!

Sound and Computer Help Needed

If you are interested in serving on our Sunday morning tech team, we would love to have you! We are in need of volunteers to serve on the sound team and the computer team running the slides for Sunday morning worship. If you are skilled in either of these areas (or are willing to learn!) contact Pastor Zeke.

Church Center App

Make sure you download the Church Center app on your phone for easy access to registrations, events, and giving. Go here to download the app for your iPhone or here for your Android device. Once you’ve downloaded it, just open it up and search for First Alliance Church. Taking the time to download this app will save you a lot of time in the future!

UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES

Men’s Bible Studies

Men, it’s time for our next round of virtual study groups. We may not be able to meet with each other in our preferred way, but we can still stay in touch and encourage each other through virtual gatherings.

We are offering two book studies:

The Knowledge of the Holy by AW Tozer

This study will be offered on Tuesday mornings at 6:30am and Tuesday nights at 8pm beginning August 4th. There is a free download of this online.

The Prodigal God by Tim Keller

This study will be offered Monday and Wednesday nights at 8pm beginning August 3rd and 5th.

Please let us know which study and day/time you prefer by completing a brief survey and we will find a group for you. We look forward to seeing you soon!
