Anticipate this Sunday!!!

2009-09-09T10:56:00.000-07:00

Thinking, and looking forward to, our worship this Sunday (9.13).
We are planning, praying and working toward an amazing and uplifting worship.
The words of one of our songs comes to my mind:

"Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause..." - Hosanna (Hillsong)

Please - let that be your prayer.
Come Sunday anticipating an unusual time with God!

Remember: ONE SERVICE @ 10:00 AM
Pancake breakfast will follow.

Can't wait to see you ...and please invite someone to join you at FSCC.

Pastor Tom

Blessed...unexpectedly!

2009-09-04T12:15:00.001-07:00

Last night, after a very full day, I stopped by our worship center.
How uplifting and encouraging to let the melodies and lyrics of our Praise Team worship practice wash over me. How blessed to just sit and not have to do anything but silently soak it all in.
This made me remember, again, why I am glad to be part of FSCC.

Here were a group of men and women loving what they were doing, singing, playing instruments and making practice a worship time in itself.
Laughter punctuated the "work" of preparing for Sunday. Sometimes an impossible key change would be thrown in just for fun - to see if anyone could hit the higher notes. Funny! And it became apparent why not all on the stage are given a mic on Sunday. :-)

The tune and the words have been running through my head (and heart) today: "You be lifted high, Lord, You be lifted high. . ."
Beautiful.
I can't wait for Sunday! Worship is going to be amazing, because HE is!

Next Ladies Study!

2009-04-30T08:34:00.000-07:00

Ladies: We concluded our Priscilla Shirer study, "He Speaks to Me". It was a great study that helped us learn how to prepare ourselves to hear God speak to us.

We will be taking a week off and beginning our new 6 week study on Tuesday, May 12 at 6:30. We will studying Francine Rivers book on "Bathsheba". Both the Tuesday night and Thursday morning group will be doing this study.

The books are on order and may be in this weekend if you'd like to pick yours up to begin reading it. They are a fast read and you should have no trouble getting through them. They are $10.

Each week we will go over a set of questions that are supplied in the back of the book. Please feel free to underline or highlight things that you may have questions on or that speak to you so we can discuss them each week. The last study of this kind that we did on Tamar prompted a lot of good discussion amd this study on Bathsheba has the potential to do the same.

Please join us and invite a friend! We had four new women join us recently and really enjoyed a fresh perspective.

As always ladies, thank you so much for your willingness to come and study God's word. It is a privilege to lead this group.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

In His grip!

Pat

Baptism Service

2009-04-15T09:22:00.000-07:00

Choosing to obey the command of Jesus by going through the water of baptism, to make a public statement of your faith in Jesus Christ, certainly gives God glory. Being baptized, immersed in water, is a beautiful picture of what Christ has done for you. He was crucified--put to death--was buried, and then rose from the dead as our living Lord and Saviour. Physical, water baptism, represents your belief in His grace and that you have trusted in Him for the gift of salvation.

This Sunday morning we will be having a baptismal service at 10 am. There will be NO Sunday School at 10 am. Instead we will flow right from the 9 am service into the baptism service. We will have a time of fellowship with coffee and donuts after the baptisms take place. The second service will begin at 11 am as usual.

VBS REGISTRATION NOW OPEN.

Tenbrae Invitation

2009-04-08T12:00:00.000-07:00

Tenebrae

2009-04-07T06:12:00.000-07:00

Tenebrae is the Latin word for shadows. The purpose of this unique worship is to recreate some of the emotional aspects of the passion of Christ Jesus – to remember the long shadow of suffering cast by His cross. Remember what Jesus did for you, dying in the darkness of noonday on Golgotha’s hill. As we read the Scripture and darken the room, we portray His love gift of sacrifice for our sins. Praise Him and return on Sunday to celebrate His resurrection!

Worship Words #3

2009-04-01T07:47:00.000-07:00

Nehemiah 8:6 Ezra praised the Lord, the great God, and all the people held up their hands and said, "Amen! Amen!" Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground. (NCV)

When was the last time you worshipped the Lord facedown? Several years ago Matt Redman wrote an incredible song called just that--Facedown. It talks about being ushered into the presence of the King and how we should tread with reverence. Do you feel reverent when you worship on Sunday mornings or throughout the week? Do we truly think about the words we sing as we worship the Creator, the King of the Universe.

Falling face down (prostrate to use a good King James term) was a sign of complete and utter demonstration of humility. I am man. He is God. Realize that there is no one upon the earth who is His equal. As great as we think we are, we are not. We are so small compared to His majesty and glory.

As we worship our Creator this week, tread with reverence. I don't mean you need to lay down on the altar, although if the Spirit moves who am I to stop you. What I mean is be prepared to worship in complete humility and adoration. Know that the One we worship is holy and deserves are complete devotion.

And I'll fall facedown
As your glory shines around
Yes I'll fall facedown
As your glory shines around

Worship Words 1

2009-03-17T11:30:00.000-07:00

God has given us 24 hours in every day, 168 hours in every week to worship Him in whatever ways we like the best….Sunday morning is just an hour or two of that time for you and I. In fact, it’s less than one half of one percent of your week.

Less than one percent of our week and yet we stand there and nonchalantly sing "You keep no record of my sin, you don't remember all my shame." We sing "Lord, I give you my heart, I give you my soul..this is my desire." Are the words that are coming out of our mouths true or are we just half-heartedly singing because it's what is expected. Do we just stand there and let everyone else sing while we "patiently" wait for the music portion of the service to be over.

"Oh no, are they going to do another song?"

What goes through your mind as we worship together in song? Are you focused on the words of the music or are you planning your to do list for the week? I have to confess, I know I have been guilty of that before and that may happen sometimes. But my desire for us as a church is to take our worship to the next level and to truly "worship." To focus on what we are singing and to Whom we are singing--our Creator, Father, Saviour, Friend.

As we approach that small window of time we have to worship together on Sunday morning, set aside the worries of the week. Leave them at the door. Instead come in and expect God to meet with us. Plan on it. If enough of us do, He might just surprise us and show up.

Easter Egg Hunt

2009-03-03T06:09:00.000-08:00

It is that time of year again that the Feather Sound Community Church celebrates Easter with the community Easter Egg Hunt. So come "jump" on in the fun and get "hopping" to sign up to be a part of one of the most exciting events we do all year. There is a spot for everyone to be a part of this great event and fellowship with the church and our community. I am hoping to coordinate an idea of who wants to be a part of this and start putting in place specific volunteers in specific areas.

Date of Event - April 11th @ 10:00.

The event needs help before, during and after.

The many areas include things like candy donation, crafts, hiding eggs, setting up, greeting people, photographer, bake sale, bounce monitor, game monitors, story time, food preparation, hunt helpers, registration, clean up, flyer distribution and lots more.

Please let me know if you are going to be available and for what part of the event you want to participate. I will use your willing hands and feet whenever you want to help out.

Thanks for being willing to help. Please pray for the event to be a great outreach to the community and time for us to bond together as a church.

Have a Blessed Day,
Debbie Wilson

ALIVE and Pipeline Students and Leaders Help out at Gathering Point Church

For the past two weekends, middle school, high school and college students joined the adult leaders from our church to help paint, pass out water and wash cars in anticipation of the launch of Gathering Pointe Church in Pasco County. The volunteers passed out more than 600 bottles of water, helped paint canvased and murals, and offered a totally free car wash to help raise awareness of the new church.

Over the two weekends, about 30 students gave up their Saturday's to be a part of the launch setup. We're looking forward to being able to continue to offer help to the church and to their pastoral staff. Check out GPC's lead pastor's blog to get a more detailed report on the weekend.

Ishwerwood and Bay Meadows Update

2009-02-27T05:38:00.000-08:00

What an amazing week it has been. The outpouring of community support has been truly amazing. I wanted to update everyone as to where we are in our efforts and thank all of you for coming together during this tragedy.

Isherwoods
Tami and David are hoping to bring the girls home today from her Dad's house in Lakeland, that is tentative based on whether or not the house is ready. She really wants to get them home as soon as possible but really wants her house to feel like a home when the girls come in. They are in pretty good shape and have most of the necessities to function. They slept in real bed last night. The couple of things still needed are clothes for the girls size 4t-5t and size 9 shoes (gently used or new). She had thought she was going to be able to salvage some of the clothes but the fire department recommended not to reuse any of it due to the toxins that they were exposed to. She is still looking for a dresser for the girls room. White and girly. Little kids hangars. Gift cards are great so she can fill in the holes, target, walmart etc. You can drop off specific things for the Isherwoods at the preschool or the church. Tami, David and Cindy (Tami's mother are sooooo grateful for all of the efforts and are overwhelmed by the gracious givings of everyone)

Bay Meadows
There is going to be a general fundraiser tomorrow, Saturday in the parking lot in front of Antonio's from 10-3:00 if you want to make a donation to the victims affected. For more information you can contact Bay Meadows at 573-4601. Elaine Curda is the contact for donations ecurda@udr.com. She has recommended emailing pictures of things to her so she can see if the items fit the needs.

Pastor Tom says THANKS!

Church, you are doing an amazing job of stepping up to show love for our displaced Bay Meadows neighbors. A HUGE thanks for bringing in a variety of clothing, household items and kitchen ware! We have a growing pile in the church lobby…which will be delivered to Bay Meadows shortly. You may continue to bring things through Sunday evening.

It is really exciting to see the response from FSCC. Please be aware that we have offered evening meals to those displaced by the fire, but this proved to be unnecessary since most are staying with family, friends, or at a distance that would make this inconvenient.

Again, thanks for all you are doing in Jesus’ Name!

Pastor Tom

Also, we may be serving meals to the affected families. We will post more details about that as we receive more info. Please keep checking back.

Update on Bay Meadows Fire

2009-02-24T05:45:00.000-08:00

As most of you know Bay Meadows apartments suffered a large fire to one of their buildings this past weekend and displaced 20 people. I am trying to help facilitate some help to these families. I stopped by the apartment complex this morning to see what we could do to help and they will be collecting things for the people at the clubhouse. They are also setting up a relief type fund with Bank of America. They should have a more information in the next 24 hours about the specifics of what and where to put things. All of the people lost pretty much everything. It is mostly adults and elderly in the building. There are 2, 4 year old girls who were the only children involved.

Most of the people are in a hotel for the next couple of days but there are two of the families who were moved to open units in the complex. One of those is a friend of mine from church. Her name is Tami Ishbrwood. She, her husband, her twin 4 year old girls, mentioned earlier, and mother lived in one of these apartments. I spoke with her this morning and they pretty much lost everything. Their immediate needs are mattresses, any furniture, kitchen items, cleaning items, clothing. If you want to specifically contribute to her family you can drop things off at my house and I will deliver it to her. If you have large items, I can put you in touch with her to figure out the specifics of getting things to her. She did mention she is in the middle of her doctorate and if anyone has an old laptop computer that is something she would appreciate.

I would also love to put together a meal schedule, if anyone is interested, for the Ishbrwood family to just shower some love on them. Let me know if that is something you want to do and I will organize it.

Thanks again for helping as you always do.
