SERVE
"He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love." ~ Ephesians 4:16
Dear Church Friends, Thank you once again for doing Prom of the Stars. I have had the joy of being Christy's date for more than two decades now and it's the highlight of the year for her. Thank you so much for all you do! ~ In Christ, Jeff Hoyer & Christy
A quick note of thanks for everyone at Farragut Christian Church — the prom event last Saturday was so amazing! It was my daughter's first such event and she had a wonderful time. She's 15 and has Down syndrome and she typically doesn't enjoy large crowds or loud music, so I was afraid it would not go well. But the music wasn't too loud and the space wasn't dark and she felt comfortable kicking up her heels. I so appreciate everyone who put in so much work to make this night possible for so many individuals who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity. We can't wait for next year! ~ Kristin Alm
Thank you so much for putting on the prom! This event is such a joy to my son. My wife and I joke and say I wish they would do this about four times a year! Thank you again! ~ Sincerely, John Thomas
It is that time of year again when you have opportunity to sign up for our Communion Preparation ministry volunteers. We need individuals, families, or friends to sign up to serve for one month. This is a great opportunity to serve in your church! Sign up in the foyer!
