Continuing Series: Influence


We are two weeks in to our series on Influence. So far, we have explored "The Power of Influence" and "Leading Myself." This week, we will talk about "Envisioning My Future," how we can envision a better future and set specific goals in several areas of our life. There will be something for everyone, but this Sunday's teaching will be especially valuable for the young adults in your life. Of course, there will also be great music and the most warm and welcoming church folks in Palm Beach County!
 
One of the greatest needs in our world today is positive leadership and influence. I am loving learning with you about how we can provide it. See you on Sunday!

Givers and Takers


I brushed off my keyboard and shared some thoughts on Adam Grant and the book "Givers and Takers" which, based on significant research, suggests... well...as Jesus would say, "Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all." (Mark 9:35).


Online Giving
Have you explored the opportunity of electronic giving? You can choose to have a set amount taken from your bank account on a regular basis or you can make a one (or more) time gift by checking account or credit card on our website. Your regular electronic giving means that your gift is available for ministry even when you are away (or forgot your checkbook!). Thank you for your continued support of the ministry of First Congregational Church!
