To register, visit http://www.daveramsey.com/fpu/classfinder and select the Faith Covenant class. Member kits are $95/each (couples only need one) and will be available at Faith.

If you love Jesus and His people, join us this fall for a 10 week training course in pastoral care and connect ministries.

For Twenty-six years, FCC has been blessed by a wonderful Christmas tradition and ministry called Santa Lucia. We are humbled and exceedingly grateful for the success and witness Lucia has had over the years. Because of its excellence and favor among many, it is hard to even ask the question, “Is God calling FCC to continue the ministry of Santa Lucia?”
But this is a question that we as a pastoral staff and wider staff have been asking for several years. No matter the success of a program, we must always hold our plans loosely and be ready to adapt if the Spirit of God leads us to try new things and ministry strategies. While this is difficult, we as your pastors have made the decision to no longer have Santa Lucia at Faith Covenant Church. We genuinely honor and appreciate the many dedicated volunteers who have willingly, lovingly, and faithfully worked so many hours to bring this wonderful Christmas program each year -drawing as many as 800 participants.
In the end, all programs and traditions must be held loosely. Programs are not sacred, only God is sacred. Our prayer is that we as a church would strive to be united, modeling a strong witness for Christ, as we seek to honor Him through “the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts.” (Psalm 19:14)
As well as this communication, I, pastor John will be giving a verbal announcement of this news next Sunday, September 22nd during service.
In It Together,
Pastors, John, Mike, and Char
