Covington Fall 2002

FAMILY LIFE IN CHRIST FALL 2002 MINISTRY SCHEDULE
NEW CHANGES; SAME PURPOSE
	All FLCM outreach ministries will be sponsored by Home of Worship (H.O.W.) Please read our current newsletter to learn more about the ministry and purpose of HOW. You do not have to be a member of HOW to participate in FLCM. The primary change will be Family Bible Study. Family Church will replace Family Bible Study. Please refer to our HOW newsletter for more information. Each Family Life in Christ Ministry (FLCM) activity is Christ centered, Bible based, Spirit led, parent involved, family oriented, and reaching out to others. Every activity is designed to create oneness with God, within the whole family (grandparents, singles, couples, parents and their children, & relatives), and others through training in Biblical discipleship.
PARTICIPATION:
	Any Christian family (single, couple, or parents with children) is invited to participate in one or all the FLCM activities. Guests are welcome. All children (18 years and younger) must be accompanied by parent(s) or guardian. Each FLCM member must share host responsibilities of setting up, cleaning up, assisting the teacher, phone calls, etc. The host must be notified, if your family desires to participate in a specific activity or bring guest, so that the host may prepare adequately. Depending on the activity, there may be a cost or materials needed. End of the year awards will be given for participation, good Samaritan, and faithful steward.
