Week of Compassion is the relief, refugee, and development ministry of our denomination, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Week of Compassion is at work all year long and at FCC, February is MONTH of Compassion, as we emphasize and support their work. On Sunday, February 23, we’ll have a special breakfast in the fellowship hall at 9:30 a.m. Erin Wathen, Associate Director of Marketing and Communication for Week of Compassion, will be our guest speaker that morning for the breakfast and in worship. We will collect our annual Week of Compassion offering during the service February 23.  More details available in the Keynoter and Weekly Connection

AS part of the Disciples Fair Trade Project, Equal Exchange organic fair trade coffee will be available for puchase on Sunday mornings during February, both before and after worship. The cost is $7 per bag. This is one way that we can support small farmers in other parts of the world - more of the money you spend will go to the actual growers.
