Beginning this week, in order to help provide assistance to victims of the recent massive flooding in central Texas, we are partnering with Crystal Lake Baptist Church in Leander, Texas. This is the church where our former lead pastor, Larry Sheahan, is currently pastoring. Leander is only about two hours from Kerrville, where the flood damage was extensive and where 135 people lost their lives. However, Sandy Creek, a small impoverished community, just 5 miles from Leander, also suffered major damage that same weekend, even losing a main bridge that prohibited people from being able to return to their homes, recover items and assess damage.
Many short-term and long-term needs for housing, repair and rebuilding are underway but it will take months for this area to recover. Please consider giving a financial gift to this special offering for the Sandy Creek flood victims via the link below. From there, just click on the give now box and choose "flood relief" from the dropdown menu. All funds will go directly to helping meet the needs of those in Sandy Creek affected by the flood.
Come and join us this Thursday, July 31st from 7:15AM TO 8:15AM for our next FREE Drive Thru Coffee & Prayer!! Our team will be waiting at the end of the driveway to serve you a freshly brewed cup of coffee and would be honored to pray with you about whatever concerns you have. God knows the things that worry and concern you. He’s a God of love and compassion and He cares for you! If you want only coffee or prayer, that's fine too. Hope you see you Thursday morning!

On Sunday, August 3rd, we will be setting aside time in both services to honor the law enforcement members in our community. Then, immediately following our second service, we'll host a potluck dinner in their honor in the Multi-Purpose Room and will have the opportunity to share a meal with them and let them know how much we appreciate them.
The church will provide the main course, butask for your help with the rest of the meal. If your last name begins with the letters A through I, please bring a fruit or vegetable salad, if it’s J through R, bring a dessert, and if it’s S through Z, bring an entree or casserole. Please join us as we celebrate these heroes in our community!
SPECIAL OFFERING: We also want to bless our law enforcement members with a special gift from the Faith Fellowship family. So, on the Welcome Table you’ll find a black box for collecting financial gifts for purchasing this special items.
Sunday, August 3rd will be our final day of collecting the offering and then the gift will be purchased and be given to them sometime in the following weeks. Special offering envelopes will be available by the collection box and checks can be made out to Faith Fellowship. If you're writing a check, please be sure to put in the memo line that the gift is for the law enforcement offering.

Childcare will be available for kids 0-3yrs old, but families with kids that are 4+ are encouraged to bring them with to help serve at one of our many family-friendly project sites.
Here are some of the team projects we are working on but we still have some to finalize. Nearly all of these projects are family-friendly, those that are limited to adult volunteers only will be noted:

After we've all served at the different project sites for Faith In Action Sunday, we'll come back to the church for our annual church picnic and we'll have the opportunity to connect with one another and maybe even share the stories of how God moved through our acts of service and ministry to others.
The church will provide meat, beverages and tableware but we ask that you bring a dish to pass to round out the meal (you can drop it off in the kitchen before 10am). So, if your last name begins with the letters A through I, please bring please bring a dessert, if it's J through R, bring a casserole or hot dish, and if it's S through Z, bring a veggie or fruit salad.
