Equipping Hour Class: 2 Corinthians- In Progress, Join In!
How are we to live as Christians in a fallen world? Come to the Equipping Class Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. to study, discuss, and apply Second Corinthians, the most personal of Paul’s letters, filled with deep emotion. He addresses multiple themes, including suffering for the gospel, the transforming power of the Spirit of Christ, false teaching, thanksgiving, contentment, repentance, giving, faithfulness, the purity of the church, love for God, and relationships.

Urbana is the big student missions conference that mobilizes young Christians for global ministry, encouraging them to embrace their role in God's mission and equipping them with a vision for cross-cultural engagement and service. This historic conference has been around for almost 80 years and has impacted many. Billy Graham once noted that half of American missionaries could trace their vocational call, at least in part, to an Urbana conference. And many more have become world Christians while remaining in the North America.
Over the years our church has regularly sent students to Urbana (which happens about every 3 years). As the world is getting more and more interconnected, as many nations are at our doorstep, and as still a third of the world’s population is unreached, at FEFC we want to invest in the next generation to join God working among the nations. Through the Global Ministries Team we have secured 11 spots for our young people (ages 17-28) to attend the next Urbana conference this Dec 28-31 held in Phoenix. There are still a few slots left – contact Broc Dubois or Nancy Willy if you are interested (or know someone). Please pray for the next generation and how this might catalyze our own church as well, and be an encouragement to those who go. Learn more at Urbana.org.

     Celebrate Recovery, a 12-Step program based on the Beatitudes about addressing "Hurts, Habits, and Hang-Ups”, meets every Monday night for teaching and testimonies at University Presbyterian Church on Wisconsin Ave at 6:30 PM. Supper is available at 5:45 PM on Mondays for a reasonable donation. If you are new to CR, come on a Monday night to get all the info.
     The ‘meat and potatoes’ of Celebrate Recovery are the group studies that meet weekly for about 8 months. Separate groups for men and women have started. These will be held at Real Life Church from 6-8 PM. To learn more about these and/or to sign up, come to a Monday night meeting or call Paul Thomas at 575-914-4365.
