TheUpDate Weekly Newsletter - September 9, 2020

Happy Wednesday, FCC! My favorite time of the year has begun, and I get to start it off every year with a celebration. Today is my wife’s birthday! Seth (our youngest son, who desires to be a world-famous chef one day) and I have baked a chocolate cake (from scratch), and we can’t wait to share it with her. I hope despite the cooler than normal temps, your week is joyful and filled with hope. Remember what we learned from God helping Abraham in his fear—for every fear that keeps us from following God, there is a promise!

• This Sunday

THIS SUNDAY  

One fear we all wrestle with in following God is the fear of inadequacy. The greatest leaders in the Bible wrestled with this as well. This Sunday we will learn from one of the greatest leaders in history how God helps to overcome our fears of inadequacy.

SERMON RESOURCES

• Find the conversation guide for the “Unafraid to Trust” sermon (Sept. 6) at fcchudson.com or on the app. This is a great tool for those wishing to take a more personal, deeper dive into the content of each sermon on your own, as a family, or in discipleship groups and Missional Communities. And, we welcome your feedback!
• Watch or listen to sermons in the “Unafraid” series at fcchudson.com or on the app.  

Whether you watch at home or are on campus on Sundays, you matter to us and you matter to God, and we are one church with one mission: to help everyone meet, know and follow Jesus.  

COMMUNION PLANNED FOR SUNDAY, SEPT. 20 

We will celebrate communion together in person and online on Sunday, Sept. 20. Communion is very important for remembering Jesus death, resurrection, and return and also for our unity together as a church. 

• During the in-person services on Sept. 20, we will provide the communion elements in individually wrapped disposable packages.
• We invite everyone watching online to make plans to have grape juice with bread or crackers available to celebrate communion at home with your family, too.  ‍

THIS WEEK’S BIBLE MEMORY VERSE

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (Godly Living)
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
