Hello Church family! I don’t know about you, but January felt like it was three months long. Maybe it’s the cold weather, the overcast skies and the busyness of the new year, but January has been tough. We continue to live into our new identity, communication style and scenery changes. I think it is a good time to hear from you, so here are some avenues for you to see our new spaces, give us feedback and let us know your thoughts.

Wednesday, February 7th our staff will be hosting an open house from 10am-5pm at the new church office (in what was formerly the parsonage). We will have coffee and doughnuts, please join us see the offices and ask us questions about office hours, room changes and any other questions you might have.

Beginning this Sunday, February 4th there will be a quick survey that we are asking for people to fill out. This is primarily focused on your thoughts about worship but will also allow you to share thoughts with us about programming, leadership and direction of our Church. We will hand out the surveys for two weeks and have a collection box in the vestibule for your convivence.

Men’s and Women’s Bible studies kick-off this Thursday, February 1st and will run for 5 consecutive weeks. Childcare is provided. Men will meet in the new church office and the Women will meet in the Fellowship Hall.

God continues to show up in some amazing ways at Fairview Church of Shoals. We are beginning a study of Philippians this Sunday and how Paul praised this church for their maturity and love for each other. Let’s keep inviting friends and see what God will do in our Church.

If you would like to talk with me or schedule a time to meet, please give me a call or text (205)454-5589. Swing by our office for a cup of coffee as well. The office hours are 8am-12pm officially but I’ll be here from 8:30-3pm Monday -Thursday and I’d love to talk.

Brian
