NEW STUDY - THE BOOK OF TITUS

Our traditional Sunday morning group has begun a study on the book of Titus.  The study will continue through May 21. 

Down through the centuries, Christians have suffered from the effects of two damaging (and opposite) problems.  On the one hand, there always seems to be people who impose rules and regulations for Christians to follow.  On the other hand, there have always been ‘Christians’ who don’t care about how they live, and who regard God’s forgiveness as a blank check. 

How can we avoid these problems and be motivated to live a life pleasing to God?  If the idea of ‘being godly’ is attractive, how can we turn our vague yearning for it into reality? 

In Paul’s short letter to Titus, God reveals the path to true godliness.  We are warned about the false trials and given stirring encouragement about the source of true godliness, its motivation and the shape it will take.  Come and join us on Sunday morning beginning April 2 at 9:15 a.m. as we increase our knowledge of the Word of God and connect with one another as we study together. 

MEN’S SMALL GROUP 

Our newest men's group, M.O.R.A. (Men of Retirement Age), has sprouted.   The group is using the book titled “God’s Words of Life for Men”. This book combines scriptures and inspirational thoughts on a wide variety of topics that men are faced with every day.  Discussion topics include:  anger, strength, work, finances, role-models and integrity just to name a few.  This group meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesday evening of the month at 7:30 p.m. at FEPC.  For additional information email Don Titus or call him at 610-942-8721.

CANNED FOOD COLLECTION FOR THE SALVATION ARMY FOOD BANK

THIS IS AN ONGOING "SERVE" IN OUR DISCIPLESHIP PROCESS HERE AT FAIRVIEW. WORSHIP, CONNECT, KNOW AND SERVE.

A big thank you to the Women’s Ministry planners and participants at the March 25^th event held in fellowship hall. 

As the “serve” portion of our Discipleship Process here at Fairview EPC- Worship, Connect, Know and Serve the women chose the Salvation Army Food Bank. 

They donated a tremendous amount of food to the food bank.

No matter how much we take each month they are always so appreciative and so nice about it. 

This donation from the Women’s Ministry was amazing.

 Thank you so much.
