Welcome to First Federated Church. We consider it an honor that you’ve chosen to worship with us today. As followers of Christ our mission is simple, yet important. We exist to love God, by loving others, helping them become fully functioning followers of Christ. To that end I hope you
are encouraged by the music and message. I trust that you will feel at home as you connect with some of the people who surround you today. If I can help you in any way, please don’t hesitate to connect with me and my wife Connie. May God’s blessings be upon you.
WELCOME

Complete the tear off slip by filling out as much information about yourself as you care to share. Then either drop that in the giving baskets during service or in the Connection Boxes at each exit.

Congregational Meeting: Our annual congregational meeting will be held on Sunday, August 27 @ 5PM in the Worship Center. The primary purpose of this meeting is to approve the budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Please plan to attend!
Vision Sunday: August 27, 2017 is Vision Sunday. On that day, each family will receive a full-color brochure, designed to help us catch the vision for our relocation to Ridgemont Drive in Urbandale. The theme for our campaign is Replanting Our Roots. Key information will be shared about the purpose for our “replanting,” as well as “The Pathway” ministry initiative, ministry objectives and financial aspects of the project. Colossians 2:6-7 will be our Biblical text for the day which exhorts us to “let our roots grow down into [Jesus], let our lives be built on Him.” I look forward to sharing the vision with you.
