“Celebrate
simply. Celebrate intentionally.
Celebrate more. Live a life in Jubilee.
Oh praise the One who paid my debt, and
raised this life up from the dead!” Here
are a few notes from the life of our
community.
SCOTT
COLE PREACHES |
PENTECOST OFFERING
This Sunday, May 11, is Pentecost
Sunday. Scott Cole will be our special
guest speaker as FV joins churches
across Alabama in receiving a special
offering designated for New Church
Starts. Our focus this year is the
new church Scott is starting in
McCalla. The offering’s goal is
$15,000.
MISSIONAL GROUP | “SIMPLY
CHRISTIAN”
We have had our first meeting of our new
missional group formed around N. T.
Wright’s book, Simply Christian:
Why Christianity Makes Sense.
Each week we begin with a video clip in
which Dr. Wright discusses a portion of
the book, and the rest of the time is
devoted to a discussion of the clip.
Wednesdays, the Rogers’ House, 1631
Lake Cyrus Club Drive. Meeting 6:45 to 8
p.m. More info: Contact
Mike.
INTERFAITH ART EXHIBIT |

On Monday May 13, Katy Awad’s beautiful
photos that display Alabama’s symbols of
faith will be on display at the
First Presbyterian Church in
Birmingham. There will be a discussion
about the photos at 7:30 in the
sanctuary. Admission is free.
