Dear FCC family,

I love freedom.  To me there is nothing better than the reality and experience of being free in Christ.  This month we kick off a new sermon series, Overcome: the keys to unlocking freedom.  I'm excited that we'll be doing this series in partnership with our church plant, Restoration Covenant, and we'll get to hear pastor Rob Jacobson here at FCC during the series.  In addition to the kickoff this weekend of this series, Saturday night's Empowered awareness concert, is all about freedom.  Come out to the Nicollet Commons Park and support our own Faith4Freedom ministry around the awareness of human trafficking.  Wherever you are, whatever you're going through, I pray that you experience God's presence and God's freedom in new and profound ways in the coming days.  Afterall, "...where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."  Check out all that is going on and coming up at FCC...

Freedom Blessings,
Pastor John
