Dear Church Family,
This Sunday in our series, The Symbols of our Sanctuary we’ll be looking at yet another ancient symbol that harkens all the way back to the early church, the ichthus—the “fish.” Fish were a prominent part of Jesus’ ministry. He recruited fishermen as disciples, he used fish in multiple miracles, he talked about fish in parables and even ate fish as his first post resurrection meal. The Greek word for fish, ichthus, serves as a handy acronym for us; Jesus-Christ-God’s-Son-Savior. Christians have been using this symbol since as far back as we can tell. But what does this symbol mean for us today, and what are we meant to carry with us through this symbol into our every day living? I can’t wait to talk more about it on Sunday!
Grace and Peace,
Beau

It also serves as a New Members class for those who are considering joining our church. In this way, we can have long time members sharing meeting with and sharing their experiences of FPC with newer folks. I encourage everyone to come!… |
