CHURCH REMINDERS
REQUESTS FOR ANOINTING AND SUNDAY MORNING PRAYER TIME
ANOINTING: If you would like to be anointed for a special need, please call the church office and let us know. We will be honored to pray for you at the altar in the minutes leading up the countdown prayer time. Time limits how many we can anoint on a Sunday, but we will do our best to schedule this special prayer.
PRAYER TIME: This is a reminder of our Prayer Initiative we are beginning on Sunday mornings. Continuing this Sunday, we are encouraging you to come pray at the platform during the five minute countdown before the worship service.
You can pray for the service, upcoming events or other needs. This is a wonderful opportunity to come forward and prepare your heart for the morning service.
UPDATE YOUR CONTACT INFO WITH THE CHURCH OFFICE
Our records are only as good as the information we get from YOU!
If you move, change phone numbers or email, please let us know at the church office. You can email the updates to churchoffice@firstwesleyan.org, or call the office at 884-1111.
We want to keep you updated with event and other important information from the Pastors and staff here at FWC, so, please remember us if you change your contact info.
THANKS!
