Dear FCC family,

It's almost that time to start raking leaves...I can't wait for the time that we as an entire church body get to bless our community by either raking leaves or doing some service projects right at FCC.  This year our Love Burnsville event is expanding to include a global as well as local focus of service.  Evangelical Covenant President Gary Walter has invited our church to be apart of a special coalition of churches to help close the gap in World Vision Child sponsorships in the African Congo.  On October 27th, we will be hearing about the need for Child sponsorships in the poorest country in the world, the Congo.  Maple Grove Covenant pastor, Chad Erlenborn, will be sharing about his experience in the Congo and preparing our hearts for our Hope Sunday, December 8th.  This Sunday will be dedicated to child sponsorships in the Congo, and promises to be a wonderful opportunity near Christmas to share God's love with those who need it most.

For all the exciting ministry opportunities God is giving us, please check them out below...

Blessings,
Pastor John Foley
