We have a great opportunity to support the Prom of the Stars while repping FCC with some fun merch (as the kids say). We have launched an online marketplace where you can purchase made-to-order t-shirts, sweatshirts, and other items with options of two different logos (FCC or Prom-specific) through Causeteam, an online retailer. A portion of purchases of Causeteam merchandise will also apply to the Prom. Visit Causeteam here. This site is only open until February 28 so don't delay!
The second way you can help us pay for the Prom is through table sponsorships. It costs us approximately $350 to host a single table ($35/per person). This is the most impactful donation you can make to the Prom. You can choose to sponsor as an anonymous member of FCC, "in honor/memory" of someone, or to advertise your business. If you'd like your table to have a specific name, please send a separate note to Dena Cunningham at dena@farracutcc.com or complete a form at the Sign-Up Center. Please make checks payable to FCC with Prom in the note or online with your payment designated to the Prom of the Stars.
Join us for an All-You-Can-Eat Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser for our preteens heading to SuperStart THIS Sunday, February 23 from 8-9:15am. Cost is $5 per person/$25 per family max for unlimited pancakes, 2 sausage links and a drink.
Watch for a Krispy Kreme Fundraiser benefitting our preteens heading to SuperStart on Sunday, March 9 from 9-11:45am. Donuts will be $1.50 for a single glazed, $2 for a single iced or filled and $16 per dozen.
Jason will be conducting his What We Believe class during the Sunday school hour (9:15am) beginning March 23. This class is designed for visitors, newly attending, and new members but is open to anyone. Watch for a sign up sheet beginning March 2.
The Prayer Buddy Campaign launched on February 16. But it's not too late! Wanna be a Prayer Buddy? Visit the Kids/Youth Hallway where the Prayer Buddy Board is posted. Choose a child to commit to pray for during 2025. Fill out the form on the table below the Prayer Buddy Board and turn it into the box provided. This helps me know who chose each child and where to send prayer requests. Monthly, you will receive an email that will give specific ways you can pray for the child you have chosen. In December, we will have a Prayer Buddy Breakfast to fellowship together! It doesn’t have to be a secret that you are praying for that child. As a matter of fact, occasionally letting them know you are praying specifically for them is a huge encouragement to our Farragut Kids! (A high five in the hallway helps, too! *wink* Thank you for being a part of Kingdom work by praying for our Farragut Kids!
Copies of our 2025 Bible Reading Plans are available at the Sign Up Center and below. We hope that you will choose the one that suits you best and encourage you to use it throughout the year.

Volunteers to prepare communion in 2025 are needed. Volunteers serve for one month. This is a great service to do with your kids; in fact read what our ministry leader says about his memories of preparing communion: "My name is Scott Warden. My wife, Missy, and I lead the Communion Preparation Ministry. One of many of our fond memories growing up in the Christian Church faith is preparing communion with our family. Though the way we deliver communion has changed, the work of picking up empty cups row by row and preparing the communion for the next week are tasks with which even young members of the family can assist."
