We have been challenged over the last several weeks in worship with our series on Elephants in the Room. Looking at topics that we often don’t want to talk about, we discussed joining, prayer, addiction, racism, mental health, giving and this Sunday we wrap up with abuse. Our response in faith has opened these topics up so that we can have an honest dialogue as a church community. I think that our church has been a great example of how all our world should be able to talk about difficult subjects. Thank you, First Christian, for your willingness to engage in dialogue!

Our next series begins on August 11 as we explore Digital Faith. In our world today, most of us are heavily involved with (or even addicted to) our digital devices—iPhones, computers, watches, etc. How do we as a church exist in that sphere? Many older folks are not as tech-savvy and cherish the face-to-face discussion, whereas many younger people rely heavily on texts, tweets, and snapchat. Baby Boomers may still be caught up in Facebook, but any way you do it, it does affect our relationships, our dialogue, and our faith. We’ll be looking at digital challenges for five weeks like—unsubscribe, delete, It’s Complicated!, unfollow, and sacred selfies. How do we as a church use all of these methods to grow stronger in our faith and how do we as families improve our relationships in Christ?

Please do me a favor as we begin this series. The last Sunday we will explore the Sacred Selfie. Selfies are the new rage—every vacation moment, special celebration or celebrity encounter is marked by a selfie. We record sacred moments! So, I want you to send your favorite selfie, a picture of you in your sacred space/happy place/place of peace to us here at the church so that we can show those on that Sunday in our worship service. It ought to be fascinating to see our sacred spots together in worship. Simply e-mail your selfie to news@fccedmond.org. Meanwhile, please consider being a loving, caring and compassionate presence in your digital world. It is something we desperately need!

We will give a brief recap and then share what is coming to FCC this Fall.

Our Back-to-School drive this year will support our community partner Ida Freeman Elementary! There are two ways YOU can help. We are collecting supplies for classrooms and food for the pantry and weekend backpack program. Bring donations by Sunday, August 18 to the Ida Freeman table in the Fellowship Hall.

CLASSROOM SUPPLY DRIVE: Just as we've done in years past with school supply backpack drives, we’ll do the same but for teachers who on average spend more than $740 of their own money each year on supplies, and parties for their classrooms. Needed items: Kleenex, Hand Sanitizer, Colored Pencils, #2 Pencils, Crayola Washable Markers (Small & Large). Another church provides backpacks of supplies for every child at Ida, so we’ve decided to help the teachers who go the extra mile every day to prepare tomorrow’s graduates!

FOOD DRIVE: Throughout the school year, Ida Freeman partners with the Regional Food Bank sending backpacks of food home with children on Fridays to prevent hunger over the weekend. We’ve been asked to help restock the pantry at Ida Freeman because the Food Bank program doesn’t officially begin until late September. Needed Items: Granola & breakfast bars, oatmeal packets, diced peaches in juice (4 oz cups), applesauce (4 oz cups), Ramen noodles, Vienna sausages, cans of ravioli, vegetable beef soup or chicken noodle soup, small packs of goldfish crackers.
