Your Voice is Wanted!

On Tuesday, August 30th at 7:00 PM, we will be gathering as a church to begin a conversation on who we are and who we are becoming as First Congregational Church of Lake Worth. As a part of our church, we want you to be involved in this conversation! Here are the opportunities you will have to share:

1. Bring with you to the gathering an object that symbolizes or represents a feeling or memory related to your church experience.

2. Share the three greatest concerns you have at this time in your life (they might be concerns about yourself, your family, or our world).

3. Share what it is about your experience of Christ that you feel would be helpful for others.

We will split into smaller groups to share. And of course, you have the option of just listening to what others share.

Please consider joining us and let us know if you will be attending so we know how many to prepare for.

Worship Planning Help Wanted! On September 4th, we begin a four Sunday series about the "Season of Creation." If you would be interested in helping plan worship for this four-week period, we will be gathering those interested next Wednesday, August 17th, at 7:00 PM at the church. Let Pastor Jason know if you are interested in participating. You can also find more information on our website. Let's Talk Read more here. Last Week for School Supplies We have collected a BUNCH of school supplies for North grade and South Grade elementary schools. There is still one week to bring in school supplies. You can finda a list here. Don't Keep It a Secret! Did a friend come to mind when you were reading something in this email? Do you know someone who is looking for a community of people who are practicing loving God, loving others, and serving the world? Why don't you forward this email to them? If a friend forwarded this email to you, first of all, thank them! Then subscribe for yourself at our website.		Reconciled This Sunday, we focused on the first part of the saga of Joseph's journey. We talked about the importance of our dreams and how those dreams are often tested. The scripture left us with a "cliffhanger" to be resolved throughout the readings for the week, ending up next Sunday as we experience together the power of reconciliation as Joseph is reunited with his family. We hope you will join us! We've Heard From... Craig and Ilene Wilson, who are spending a couple of months traveling through the West--and loving every minute of it! They periodically send us pictures from their journeys... And Doris Platt is doing much better as she continues to recuperate from her recent surgery. She sends everyone her love and thanks you for your continued prayers. Calendar Check out the weekly calendar here. Reminders... Missions meets next Tuesday night at 7:00 PM.
