BIBLE FELLOWSHIPS, Sunday, 10:35 AM for kids, teens, & adults! This is a time of fellowship around a variety of topics that help us better seek, savor, and share Christ together. This week, we're wrapping up Just for Starters and How to Bible Study. Discipling will continue, and next Sunday, October 18, we'll begin two new classes:

• MEANINGFUL MEMBERSHIP This elder-led class explores our Statement of Faith and what it looks like to be a member of the Free Church.
• WHY JESUS We’ll address the tough questions that people have about Jesus and point them back to the scriptural truths about our Savior. 

MONTHLY PRAYER MEETING DATE CHANGE, Tuesday, October 13 at 6:00 PM. We pray collectively every first Tuesday, but we need to move the date just this month, so please join us on the second Tuesday! Come be encouraged as we lift our needs, hopes, and praises to the Lord together.

PIZZA WITH THE PASTORS, Sunday, October 18 after Bible Fellowships. Newer to the Free Church or still looking to get connected? Join us for lunch, meet our staff, ask questions, and learn more about our ministries! Your whole family is welcome- kids included! Sign up online or at the Welcome Center.

CHURCHWIDE CLEANUP DAY, Saturday, October 24, 9:00 AM-12:00 PM. Come and go as you’re able, stay for the whole time, bring others with you, or come to make a friend—we would be so grateful to have your help as we give our space a fall refresh! Pizza lunch provided. We will be doing some general cleanup and some landscaping.
