This Week at FCC!
Due to the COVID-19 Outbreak, First Christian Church is CLOSED at least through August 2020. Please click here for more information.
As we prepare for virtual worship on Sunday, here are a couple of informational items and helpful hints.
1. Join us on Facebook Live at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday Morning.
Instructions for viewing via Facebook Live: Go to https://www.facebook.com/firstchristiancos.org/
If you are watching during the church service, scroll down the page until you see the live video. Click on the video and make sure the volume on your computer is up. If you are watching after the time of the service, you will see "Videos" in the left-hand column. Click Videos, and then click on the picture of the date you would like to watch. (The most recent video will be first.)
If you are not on Facebook, you may call in: (605) 472-5268 or toll free at (844) 844-0414. You may call either number, then, when prompted, give the room code - 101646, and then press #. Please mute your phone or plan to be in a quiet place in your home with no background noise. Even though the number will prompt you to say your name, please just connect silently.
2. You may find Sunday's Bulletin HERE. Words to the hymns are included in the order of service, so please join in the singing! . Carol Wilson, piano, will be joined by Elisa Wicks, violin, and Veselka Kuzma, cello, to play an amazing trio by Franz Schubert. For our special music, Elisa and Carol will play a delightful movement from one of Schubert's violin sonatas. We will post a recording of it to Facebook before worship on Sunday.
3. Please have your communion elements with you when worship begins.
4. We encourage you to continue to make a weekly offering to FCC!

Sermon Preview
When Pastor Jonathan sang in a choir in middle school, his teacher would sometimes say, “Even when you hit the wrong note, keep singing your song!” Some of us more than others know the feeling of hitting a wrong note. At times, we get stopped and called out on it. Those moments linger in some of our minds when we think about taking another risk. Perhaps, we can hear God saying “keep singing your song!” As we move into the second week of our series on discipleship, Pastor Jonathan will share his sermon entitled “Disciples as Smart Risk Takers,” which is based upon the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30.
