“One of the prayers we have at FMC is that God would raise up from among us those that would follow the call to go into what is traditionally called ‘full time Christian service’. This prayer is most recently answered by Karl and Rachel Anderson. Karl was raised at FMC. I will introduce them to the congregation this Sunday. They are heading to South Sudan, Africa, in January 2014. Read their blog

I highly recommend to all the mothers and ‘tween’ daughters the Secret Keeper Girls event, Tuesday, September 24, here at FMC. My granddaughter, who is almost 12, has been to it twice. She and her mom drove to Fort Wayne from South Bend to see it the first time in 2011, and then last year in Nappanee. She loved it. This is a big event and Secret Keeper Girls seldom comes to a town our size. Round up all the tween girls you know and come. Tickets are available at the connection center or online.
