Orlando this morning! So glad youre here. We worship

together as a church family in four services on Sundays:
Traditional worship in the Sanctuary at 8:30 and 11am, and
Genesis worship in Lee Fellowship Hall at 9:45 and 11am. If

WAYS TO GIVE
Your faithful generosity matters all year long, and automatic
deduction is a great way to give consistently if you anticipate
being out of town. Set it up once and give directly (and
securely) from your bank account. There are several ways to

give your tithe and offering to support the transformational

ministry of this church family:

Automatic Deduction - easy, one-time setup for scheduled giving and no fees make this method a favorite.

Scheduled Online Giving - give by credit or debit card

and see your statement anytime with our giving portal.

One-Time Online - this is the simplest method for giving by smartphone, if you dont need to see the gift on
an end-of-year statement.

NOTES

Prepare your hearts for worship, is a phrase we hear at

the end of the welcome video each week. Think about
it. Whenever you get ready to do something significant,
you prepare, whether it is going to see the tax man
or going to a wedding. Preparation is involved. When
we go to meet with God, you would think wed take
extra time to prepare! Following the announcement
video, we have given some time to clear our heads
as Josiah plays something on the organ that can help
us stay focused. In those brief moments, let all the
things that come flooding into your mind go right on
out the back door! Give them over to the Lords care
for the next hour. (You can always take them back and
worry after worship is over!) Now is the time to listen
for the voice of the Lord. Close your eyes and be still.
After all, the Lord is present. He often speaks in a still,
small voice. Remember, His name, is Emmanuel: God
with us and He is. As the old sign along the highway
used to say, Prepare to meet thy God. Good advice.

RECYCLE YOUR BULLETIN

8:30am & 9:45am worshipers can help the church be better
stewards of our resources and environment by placing this
worship bulletin in one of our recycling stations as you leave
today.
There are two right outside the Sanctuary: one in the Grand
Hallway leading to the Edington Ministry Center, and one
across from the entrance to the Prayer Room. If youre in Lee
Fellowship Hall, look for one to the right of the exit as you
leave.
The bulletins are reused for the 11:00am worship service,
and recycled on Monday morning.

ABOUT OUR MINISTRY TO THE

HOMELESS COMMUNITY

COMPASSION CORNER
COMPASSION CORNER MINISTRIES WAS FOUNDED
IN 2001 BY A GROUP OF COMPASSIONATE MEMBERS
OF FIRST PRES. Located at 425 N. Magnolia Avenue,
behind the Orange County Courthouse building,
Compassion Corner opens its doors to our homeless
neighbors four days a week, for a total of 24 hours
each week. Each day we welcome 75-80 men and
women for Bible study, coffee, fellowship, prayer, and a
needed respite from the streets. Our goal is to provide
a safe place where trusting relationships can be built,
and through those relationships, restoration and
transformation can take place. The corner is dry when
it is wet, cool when it is hot, and warm when it is cold.
We have five coaches providing over 10,000 hours of
case management per year. These coaches help each
person take their next best step, referring them to the
services they need.
Toiletries and other necessities are distributed as
needed, adding up to over 600 personal hygiene
products a week, alone. Compassion Corner also
provides socks, reading glasses, and work boots;
helps pay for prescriptions; and $20,000 worth of bus
passes for job interviews, medical appointments, VA
visits, and other needed services annually.
COMPASSION CORNER HOURS

Monday - Thursday
8:30am - 11:00am and 1:00pm - 3:00pm
HOW YOU CAN SERVE

Donate toiletries, bring baked goods, offer a

listening ear during morning coffee time, or be
trained as a coach, to help our friends take that next
best step. Call Spencer Pfleiderer at 407.488.1955 to
get started.
