THIS COMING WEDNESDAY we will have Dr. David Wray present the second of two sessions on the philosopher Charles Taylor. Dr. Wray will address Christian living in a secular age. David’s expertise is Christian education and he is an engaging teacher. We will get started at 6:30 pm and will not end later than 7:30 pm. You will find this study to be extremely relevant to our mission as a church in this world.
Childcare can be available. Contact Kori in the church office and let her know if this would be of help to you, kbarr@fcpc.net.

YOUNG ADULT THURSDAY BIBLE STUDY HAS RESUMED We meet under the Stewart’s carport each Thursday at 7 pm. Everyone wears a mask...and we sit apart, but that does not prevent the Spirit from connecting each of us. Join us at 1125 Glenwood Drive from 7-8 pm.

FCPC IN MISSION A Medical Mission team from FCPC is headed to Kenya at the end of October. The team will join a team of Kenyan physicians and medical practitioners. Five translators plus volunteers from local Maasai Presbyterian congregations will join forces. A clinic will be held at two very remote, primitive villages without water and electricity. Each clinic will be held for 2 and a 1/2 days. This is real “bush” medicine being shared with African people who would not be able to ever have this kind of help.
Our partners in this African Mission include the Presbyterian Church of East Africa along with the Outreach Foundation that works with the PCUSA here in the states.
There are seven members of the team from Abilene: Austin King, Fred White, Carolyn White, Stephanie Munshower, Misty Harrison, Elvira Flores and Valerie McKenny.
We are, in advance, thankful for all the good they will do...and we pray for a safe trip. If you would like to contribute for medical supplies – please note this on the check payable to FCPC Medical Mission.

IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING MASKS AT FCPC Very recently, new information regarding the transmission of the Delta variant of COVID-19 has been released by the CDC. The research indicates that vaccinated individuals are just as likely to be carriers of the virus as those who haven’t been vaccinated.
In response, the Reopening Committee has made the decision to reinstate the requirement that masks are to be worn by everyone—vaccinated or not—anytime they are in the building.
Masks will continue to be available in the foyer on Sunday mornings and outside the office during the week.
Thank you for your willingness to comply with this decision and for helping us care for our community.

HAVE YOU SEEN the new bulletin board across from the Faith Hall kitchen? It already highlights many of the ministries of FCPC, but we need your help! Maybe you’ve been on a mission trip, participated in a local service organization, or sponsored a child in another country. Add a pin to show us where you’ve served. Connect it to a string and write down the name of the ministry. Add a picture if you have one. We can’t wait to see all the ways that our members serve our community and world!

FOOD PANTRY NEWS Dear Friends of the Presbyterian Food Pantry,
We were hard at work at the pantry on Tuesday. Doug Williamson and Beth Mullins are doing paperwork. Linda Williams is working on the computer. Sally Shelton is interviewing clients.
We served 30 families today, 28 seniors, 33 adults, and 14 children for a total of 75 people.
We need snacks of all kinds! Client favorites are peanut butter crackers. We can always use cereal, cookies, granola bars, and single packs of tuna, juice boxes for children and nutritional drinks (Boost, Ensure, etc) for seniors, and handle bags for walkers. We are looking for a coffee bean grinder. Do you have one you could donate? Thank you for your support. Consider donating to FCPC: Food Pantry on the memo line, for the 100 turkeys we will purchase in November. Continue to pray for us and for our clients.

DISASTER ASSISTANCE Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is providing emergency relief and short-term recovery in areas impacted by disasters through our established local partners and in collaboration with ACT Alliance and its members.
Giving is a way to help even from afar: Gifts can be made by sending your check to the church or bringing it on Sunday.
PC(USA) DISASTER RELIEF: Please know that your funds are greatly appreciated when you make contributions for disaster relief! Please indicate in the memo area of your check what you want the funds to be used for; whether it be Haiti, hurricanes, or other disasters. If you do not indicate on your check, it will go to the general disaster relief fund which will be put where the PC(USA) feels it is needed most. Help us send the money where you want it to go! Thank you for thinking about others in these tragic circumstances.
