I'm not great at writing, but I want to tell you about my church. I've been attending First Christian Church in Lawrence for more than 20 years and here's why:
- great Bible teaching; I've been in church all my life, but I still learn something new every week I attend worship at FCC, lessons are applicable to daily life
- Many service opportunities; for me this is a big way that I live out my faith, serving a meal at LINK, helping set up for Family Promise, or gathering toys for Operation Christmas Child are just a few of the ways to be involved and help others
- caring community; hey, I'm not perfect (I mean, not even in the same climate zone), yet I feel loved, cherished, accepted for who I am, flaws and everything
- growing in faith; this is not a place to just set on the shelf, all are encouraged to get out the pews and get busy, serving, worshiping, caring, learning,
- all age groups are served; and children and youth are active participants in worship and service instead of just hidden away upstairs
- wonderful praise music; I can't sing, but I can make a joyful noise, during worship times, I often "feel" God's spirit in the room
- of all the churches I've attended in my life, I feel FCC is the most rounded, encouraging all to grow more in love with God and practice His kingdom on earth read more
