ANNOUNCEMENTS
Welcome to worship on this Second Sunday in Lent. We look to the One who watches over us (Psalm 121) and hear again that God so loved the world that he sent the Light into our darkness (John 3:16 20). In this season of reflection and grace, we walk in Christ’s light, trusting that what God reveals, God redeems. Whether longtime members or first-time visitors, you are welcome here! May this hour draw us closer to God’s truth, mercy, and life-giving light.
Today we welcome back the Rev. Mark Broadhead as our guest preacher and worship leader. Mark is a true friend to First Church and serves as our Presbytery Liaison during our transition process.
Be sure to stay after worship for refreshments and conversation in the Fellowship Hall. It’s a great way to start your week!
The Session and Interim Pastor Search Committee met this morning to discuss and vote on important matters in the life of this congregation. We have a candidate in the final stages of approval by Presbytery and Session, should the way be clear.
Fellowship Tuesdays will gather this MONDAY, March 2, at 6 pm at Sakura in Lynn Haven. What a great opportunity to get to know each other better and build friendships within this community of faith. Please RSVP by texting Tami Valdez TODAY (850) 625-8882.
Men of the Church meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall for dinner and fellowship.
