It has been a long time since we have had a concert at First Christian Church in Brazil, Indiana. But the time has come ….. Kenny and Amanda Smith will be with us Sunday, August 16 at 6 p.m. EST for an evening of great music.

We will have seating adjusted for social distancing and masks are welcome but not mandatory. We will receive a free will offering.

Kenny will be doing a guitar workshop from 3-5 p.m. with a cost of $25. If you are interested, contact Mark Grayless at mgrayless@fccbrazil.org about prepaying or registering for the workshop.

By the way Kenny and Amanda’s latest release “A Norman Rockwell World”, has been at the top of the charts for over a month.

We are looking forward to seeing you on August 16^th.

The Worship Ministry is in need of vocalists, musicians (specifically keyboards), and technicians for Sunday mornings. We are not professionals, so if you’ve ever had an interest in joining the praise team or learning sound, lighting, or projection, now is the time! If you’re interested, contact Dan Stribling:  dstribling@fccbrazil.org.

God did not design us to go through life alone. He designed us to be in relationship with one another. Life Groups are the best way to help you go from just attending a service to connecting with others and developing a deeper relationship with Christ. Sign up to join a Life Group by filling out the card in Sunday's bulletin and dropping it in the offering plate or head to fccbrazil.org and sign up on the Life Groups page.

There are openings during Sunday School and Second Service hours for nursery and preschool helpers in Weekidz. Come play and give attention to our cutest members! Please pray and come see Brenda McNabb on Sundays or email her (bmcnabb@fccbrazil.org) for more information.

Our Communion Ministry is looking for more volunteers. If interested, call Phyllis Herb at 812-877-2624 and she would be glad to discuss and explain this vital ministry. 

Our Blessing Box is located at the back entrance of FCC. The goal is simple:  “Take what you need, give what you can, above all be blessed!” We would like to encourage our church family to keep our blessing box full for our neighbors. 
Things to place in the box include:

• Nonperishable food items (no expired food please)
• Hygiene items
• Laundry and dish soap
• Cleaning products
• Baby items (diapers, wipes)
• Small toys

While it is cold outside, no jars or other things that might freeze and burst should be placed in the box.  Also, new items only please.
Contact the church office if you have any questions.

The Greeter Ministry is searching for people to greet before services. It’s a great way to interact and get to know people, and it’s low commitment (just about 20 minutes a month). Contact Cinda at cinman@fccbrazil.org to sign up.

Student Ministry is in need of meals for Sunday nights at Worship Uncoiled. It’s a great opportunity for life groups and Adult Bible Fellowship classes. If you can help, contact Jennifer Branam.
