SERMON TEXT: Psalm 100

SERMON TITLE: Seven Precious truths from Psalm 100


It's Time to Plan Your 2017 Giving

Why do we make tithes and give other offerings to the church? Because God calls his people to do so -- and because as Christians we have been blessed beyond measure.

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” -- Malachi 3:10

Will you faithfully give in response to the blessing you have received in Christ? Make a commitment to support Fairview with your time, talents, and treasure in 2017. Complete a pledge card and bring it to worship on Consecration Sunday (Oct. 30) or set up your electronic giving commitment at fairviewepc.org/give.


Fairview now supports online giving through the Tithe.ly platform, enabling you to make financial donations to the church via your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-connected device. There are two ways to access this service:

  • Go to the Give page of the new Fairview website and click on the "Give to Fairview EPC" button.
  • Download the Tithe.ly app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on your mobile device.

From there, you can make a one-time or recurring gift to FEPC using your debit or credit card, or via electronic transfer from your bank account. Schedule your tithe or offering in advance. Give to Stop Hunger Now. Support the deacons. The process is fast, easy, and completely safe and secure. For more information, email Jim Pomager.

Opportunities to Serve

GOOD WORKS WORKDAY

OUR GOOD WORKS TEAM IS NOW SUPPORTING HOMES IN NORTHERN CHESTER COUNTY!!

Our normal workday is the first Saturday of the month.

Our partner home is here in Glenmoore. We are working out of the NCC Warehouse in St. Peter’s Village. Our workday begins at the St. Peter's warehouse at 8:00 and we complete our workday by 3 PM.

We would love to have you join our team. Many hands make light work. You only need to bring a willing heart. Tools and materials are provided. Women and teens are also welcome to join us.

The Team meets for breakfast & fellowship at 7:00 and then goes to the NCC Warehouse in St. Peters Village at 8 AM.

For questions and/or further details contact: Roy Adler 610-416-5996 or Jim Palmer 610-458-0898.

If you can help by providing lunch for the team, contact Sue Obenschain at 610-286-5013.


Sunday Morning Greeters    

Are you interested in being a greeter at the front door of Fairview EPC on Sunday morning, welcoming visitors and members alike to our worship service?  This is one way to “Serve” in our discipleship process here at Fairview.  It only requires a small amount of extra time on Sunday mornings.  If you’re interested or would like to know more please contact Nancy Hayes via email or by phone at 610-883-6677.


BAGEL SUNDAY

Anyone interested in sponsoring a Bagel Sunday the last Sunday of any month, please see Christy Pomager on Sunday, email her a  or use the sign up genius here.


CANNED FOOD COLLECTION

Fairview EPC participates in the food bank run by The Salvation Army and Faith Alliance Church in Glenmoore.

My contact there, and the people who pick up the food here at Fairview, tell me that for Thanksgiving and Christmas the number of needy families soars to 250 from 60.

I know everyone is really busy and like me you probably race thru the food store ASAP. Just a little tickler to say, notice the pasta for 88 cents a box, or the peanut butter when it’s on sale or even tuna fish in the can. Just pick up something each trip if you can and bring it to Fairview on Sunday morning. That would be soooo appreciated. We’ll make sure it gets to Faith Alliance.

Bobbie Mackey and Jo-Ellen Claphanson took over another load of food this past Friday. Adults and children are lined up for food when we get there at 9 a.m.

If anyone wants to help with the deliveries, it takes about 30 minutes and not every Firday. The time is 9 a.m. at Fairview. Please let Bobbie or Jo-Ellen know if you would like to help.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Jo-Ellen Claphanson, Bobbie Mackey

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