Infant Dedication We had the privilege of introducing and dedicating our infants during 11:00 a.m. worship service on January 8 th. Three families participated in the event:
Amanda and Dustin Collier with their son, Burke Edward
Jaime and Michael Ferguson with their daughter, Lillian Jane
Rachel and Garren King with their daughter, Stella June-Marie
These parents understand that they are going to be the most influential spiritual leaders in their children’s lives. Deuteronomy 6 commands that parents are to impress God’s commandments onto their children at the dinner table, in the car, and at bedtime. As a reminder, these parents will not raise their children in Christ single-handedly, but the congregation is also given responsibility to support and sustain these families. Please make every effort to get to know and pray for these families and their children.

FCC BASKETBALL FCC Basketball registration was held on January 14th where over 225 students registered. Practices began on Monday, January 23rd and the first game day will be on Saturday, February 4th. If you are looking for a way to serve FCC, this is a great opportunity to be an ambassador to the church, even if you only have one Saturday morning available. Commit to as many Saturdays as you want. We are also looking for passionate people to help chair the FCC Kid’s Basketball League. This ministry needs new leaders to ensure we can continue to offer this community outreach program to our local youth. Please contact Jesse Brinkley if you are interested or have questions. Come join in on the fun for our first game day February 4th! Our games begin 8:30 a.m. and continue through early afternoon. Also, support our MOPS ministry by buying candy, drinks, and food at the concession stand.

We would only like to use regular size candy bars, (please no King size, fun size, etc.) Candy can be placed in the church office. Cash donations would also be greatly appreciated to help go towards the purchasing of concession items and can be given to Randi Dash or Kendra Squibb. The first day of games is February 4th.

The Reporter: New Format and Purpose! Over time we realized that the bulletin and the reporter were serving the same function. We also found that we had no outlet for sharing the things that have happened once they happen. So for this season in the ministry of FCC, the Reporter will now report on the ministry events and happenings, celebrating the good things that God has done in the life of our church. The bulletin and our Facebook page will continue to advertise upcoming events and things you need to know. We are also looking for you to give us your perspective of the ministry events that take place. If you would like to submit articles for consideration in the Reporter, please email
[email protected].
New LCU Worship Intern Ethan Frontone Hello all, my name is Ethan Frontone. I will be spending my semester here at FCC as the Worship Ministry intern. I am currently a senior at Lincoln Christian University and will graduate this spring after my time here with all of you. My plan after graduation is to continue into Worship Ministry. Where, you ask? No idea, but I know that I want to lead the Church into worship around God's throne. Thank you all for welcoming me into this wonderful church family. I hope to spend these next few months growing in ministry, as well as growing these new relationships I have gained and am going to gain while here at Salem FCC. God Bless, Ethan Frontone
A great way to get to know Ethan throughout his internship is to invite him over for dinner or take him out to eat. We have several opportunities each week and would love your help, so please stop by Dave’s office to sign up or log on to his Care Calendar:
