This Week at FCC!
Welcome-
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 will play music on the organ based on chorales and hymns for Advent, moving from music expressing intense longing for a savior to come, through admonitions to be prepared for His coming, to joyful anticipation of Jesus’ birth. The SPECIAL MUSIC is Huron Carol, arranged by Catherine McMichael, performed by the Handbell Choir.
3. Please have your communion elements with you when worship begins.
4. We encourage you to continue to make a weekly offering to FCC! You may continue to give online via Paypal from our website (scroll to the bottom of the page and click the DONATE button), sending your check in the mail, or giving through our NEW app!

5. To get ready to worship at home with your kids, you do not have to have anything special. But as people who understand and experience worship and learning in multi-sensory ways, we encourage you help get ready for our time together with the following updates and items.
- Candle (any kind) and a way to light the candle
- Crayons/Markers/Colored Pencils
- Drawing Paper and/or Kids Bulletin (view and download here)
- Communion/Feast: (Juice, Crackers, etc.)
Sermon Preview
As the Narrative Lectionary takes us into Advent, we do not always get the sweet, picturesque stories of the birth of Jesus. We usually get a text or two that are difficult. It is in these difficult moments that Christ was and is born into. On Sunday, November 29, we will look at the story of Daniel 6:6-27, which is the story about Daniel in the lion’s den. Yet, Pastor Jonathan will share an invitation to, perhaps, look at this story in a story new light as we enter the season of waiting - Advent. His message is entitled “A Question for Advent: Are You Willing to Be Bothered?”
