On the Second Sunday of our Stewardship Campaign (theme: Worship, Mission & Ministry) we talked all about Mission. You can click here to listen to my sermon titled, appropriately enough "Mission."
Church members took Post-It Notes and wrote down their favorite Mission Site (or a place where they volunteer their time) and affixed them to the church doors on their way out of the sanctuary, creating Mission-focused Stained Glass widows on the doors that lead us from worship out into the world.
Here at First Christian Church Scottsdale we are defined by our dedication to Mission, and we are fortunate to work as many incredible mission partners as we have -- Vista Del Camino, Operation Fix-It, AZ Family Promise, The Ronald McDonald House, AMOR Ministries, UMOM, Church World Services, Alcoholics Anonymous, the Disciples Mission Fund, St. Vincent dePaul, Feed My Starving Children, W.H.E.A.T., Silo Clothing Closet, and Healthy Packs just to name a few!
AND, we didn't just talk about Mission, we went out into our community and walked our talk...literally. After worship the members of FCC Scottsdale participated in the East Valley CROP Hunger Walk. FCC Scottsdale raised $1000 to help CROP stop Hunger and support the life-giving work of Church World Services. In fact, you can still donate online by clicking here.
At FCC Scottsdale we are on a Mission -- to live out our faith in a way that makes a difference in the lives of others!
