It’s Vacation Bible School (VBS) at Faith Community this week, and the building is filled with children praising God for his greatness, authority, providence, power and love (1 Peter 1:3-7)! Thank you to everyone serving this week! Please continue to pray for the children, teens and adults, who are a part of VBS. Check out FCC's posts and stories on Instagram (@fcchudson) for highlights from each day of VBS.
by Pastor Tim Prince
On Sunday, I mentioned that I was borrowing heavily from a talk by Bob Kauflin. Here, again, was my favorite part:
"This means every voice in the church matters. We’re not called simply to listen to others sing…or to sing by ourselves. We are called to sing with others, especially in the context of our local church. The question isn’t, Do you have a voice? The question is, Do you have a song? If you’ve turned from your sins and trusted in the finished work of Christ, if you’re forgiven and reconciled to God, then you have a song. It’s a song of the redeemed, of those who have been rescued from the righteous wrath of God through the cross of Jesus Christ and are now called his friends. Once we were not a people, but now we are the people of God, and our singing together, every voice contributing, is one way we express that truth."

Come on Sunday as Pastor Tim Prince continues in the “Real You. Real God.” series with “Uncontainable” (Psalm 145).
"Christian witness is simply overheard worship." This quote from Harold Best sums up the feeling of Psalm 145, which we'll be looking at together this week.
Invite a friend! See you on Sunday!

Romans 8:28 (Trials)
