No Blog posts for awhile. Sorry about that! I was out of town for a bit, busy getting things together, and fell out of the habit. But have no fear, the good work at FCC Scottsdale has continued!
Here are some images and stories from what we've been up to at First Christian Church since my last blog post...
The Pumpkin Patch was a HUGE success. Thanks to all the hardwork of our tireless volunteers we totaled $9322 in pumpkin sales! That made for a profit of $3104.23
and we received another $962.07 in donations. That is $4066.40 raised for FCC Mission Projects! Great job done by all!!
I enjoyed a week of vacation in St. Louis, Missouri where my wife's brother was married at the Jewel Box (pictured above). It was a lovely ceremony and great to be with some much family and friends for the week. During my time away the Rev. Vy Nguyen filled the pulpit and preached about the upcoming CROP Hunger Walk.
You can support FCC Scottsdale's efforts to end hunger one step at a time by clicking here to donate to support our CROP Walkers!
We also hosted our first ever (First Annual?) Trunk-or-Treat Event in the church parking lot. That is your's truly's Red Prius all decked out for Halloween care of the youth group. We also had...
...amazing entries from Monica Case!
...and Kim Redhage!
...and Jan Atkinson!
One more really exciting thing happened since my last blog post: FCC Scottsdale received the award as the 2009 Arizona Highest Per Capita Giver to Disciples Mission Fund. Which is amazing! And hopefully the start of several years in a row where we can set the bar for giving to our denomination!
Thanks to everyone who helped to make Trunk-or-Treating and the Pumpkin Patch and the CROP Hunger Walk and our DMF giving so successful! Stay tuned for more blog posts on the continued successes at First Christian Church Scottsdale!
