Some things coming up

* I am beyond excited about this Sunday at Foothills Community Church. We will be starting our next series in the Gospel of John called, The Gospel.

* This would be a phenomenal series to bring someone with you who doesn't know Jesus. Trust me, they will have an opportunity to meet Him.

* It's hard to believe that there are only 6 weeks until Easter.

* Speaking of Easter, you will not believe what we're planning!

* Coming up on April 21st we will be celebrating Foothills Community Church's 15th anniversary. It is going to be a party for sure.  We are planning a huge worship night that evening along with the observance of the Lord's Supper and baptism. I'm pretty sure there will be a little nostalgia as well.

* I can't wait to share more details about FCC's 4th and newest campus. Here's what I can tell you. It will be  in Habersham County, Georgia. We are shooting for the August/September time frame. There are still many logistical issues that need to be worked out before then, so please be in prayer.

* As most of you know, every January we pretty much purge our membership and ask people to re-sign their membership covenant. Unfortunately every year many people forget to send their covenants back into us . If you are one of the people who forgot, here is a link you can go to right now and do it electronically. This will probably take less than one minute. Quit procrastinating :)

* Don't forget about summer camps for your kids. We have 2 different opportunities this summer: 

Kids Camp for 3rd-6th graders from July 30th-August 2nd at the Georgia Baptist Conference Center in Toccoa, GA.
Axis Summer camp for current 6th-12th graders from June 17th-21st in Myrtle Beach, SC.

* Parents, grandparents please arrange your summer schedules so that your students can be a part of these camps. It will have lasting impact in their lives. Deposits for these trips are due very soon.

* I got a chance to speak to our 6th-12thgraders a couple of weeks ago during Live, and I was so impressed with our teenagers.  I'm also excited about Axis Summer camp because I am going to get a chance to be a part of it for a couple of days!

* So many cool things going on right now at FCC. I love being your Pastor!
