Offertory Prayer Elder Steve Dunn
Offertory Karis Hempy & Ashley Maddox“Seek Ye First” by Karen Lafferty
*Adult Choir“Gentle Voice” by Lee and Susan Dengler
Far above the noise of life, there’s a voice that is gently calling. “Leave behind your cares and strife. Come to Me. I will give you rest. Bring your fear and bring your pain. Bring your anger and bring your worry.” Do you hear the voice of Jesus, gently calling, “Come unto Me”?
Gentle voice, so meek and mild, gentle words of understanding. “You are my beloved child. Come to Me. I will give you rest. Bring your grief and bring your cares. Bring your heartaches and bring your sorrow.” Do you hear the voice of Jesus gently calling, “Come unto Me”? Gentle voice so full of love. Gentle voice so rich in mercy. “You are my beloved child. Come to Me. I will give you rest.”

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH AND ROADMAP
Please continue to pray for FPCC, that we would be a uni-fied body of believers, working together in a spirit of trust and cooperation. Pray for each other, that God would bind the evil one as he tries to sow jealousy, bitterness, misunder-standing, gossip, confusion, apathy, and fatigue. Pray for our ministries, that they would work with clarity, focus, and quality and not be distracted by merely good ideas that dilute the potential of great possibilities. Pray that we would encourage, seek out, and take advantage of new ideas with courage and boldness while strengthening our current areas of excellence. Pray for our staff as they adjust to new ways of working together, equipping and assisting us, and fulfilling their calls and passions here at FPCC in 2016 and beyond. Pray for the Roadmap team and process, that we would walk in the path God is lighting. Pray that we would not accept mediocrity. Pray that we would receive constructive criticism well. Pray that every one of us will find reasons to be “for” what God is doing here. Pray for the lost, particu-larly non-Christians God has placed in each of our lives.
