Connector for May 1

This Sunday: The Church at Antioch

Join us as our Lead Pastor Paul Smith brings a message from Acts 11:19–30 as a part of our series A Stained Beauty.

Our current series is based on A Stained Beauty by John Stumbo, President of the Christian & Missionary Alliance. We have a limited number of copies available for a cash or check donation; proceeds go towards sending our high schoolers to LIFE Conference this summer. You can also purchase the book online.

Launch

If you’re new to First Alliance, we hope you’ll join us for Launch in the Lower Auditorium. Enjoy lunch, meet our staff, and learn more about the heart of our church! Childcare will be provided.


Women’s Ministry Summer Bible Study

Weeks of June 12 to July 24

This summer we will be studying Esther, the Fingerprints of God. The book of Esther is unique compared to the other books of the Bible because it never mentions the name of God. It is marvelously woven with one thread holding it together: sovereignty.

Together we will embark on a journey through the book of Esther, uncovering the fingerprints of God that are layered throughout the text. Ultimately, our goal is to be reminded that even when you can’t see God at work in your present circumstances, you can know that He is with you.

Registration is open now through Sunday, May 22. Small groups meet at various times throughout the week, with both in-person and online options available. Participants purchase their $20 workbook at registration. Find out more and register now!


FAC Kids VBX

Sunday, June 12 to Thursday, June 16

FAC Kids Vacation Bible eXperience is headed to the beach this summer!

We’ll spend five days diving deep into walking with Jesus, and we want your kiddos to join us. Each evening will be jam-packed with music, games, crafts, and a Bible story that will help your kids better understand what it means to love and follow Jesus.

Registration opens this Sunday and spots are limited. Learn more below! Volunteers are also needed; contact Hannah Meredith if you’re able to help.

Child dedications will be happening during services on Sunday, May 8! Any family wanting to participate needs to have at least one parent join us for our Child D Orientation this Sunday from 9 to 9:20am in the Conference Room. Learn more and sign up now.
