Ladies Event

6:00pm—8:00pm

At the Church (Rooms 301-303)

Come get acquainted or reacquainted with other women from Fairmount Wesleyan Church.  

This special evening will be a time for building relationships with others but also a time to hear about a ministry trying to help other women around the world.

Light refreshments will be served.

Destiny Rescue is a ministry which helps young women out of human trafficking or helps them to avoid human trafficking around the world.  This ministry provides the women with an alternative to make money by creating jewelry and other items.

Jewelry will be available for purchase but the purpose of this event is not to be a jewelry party.

If you have questions or need more information about this event,

please contact Carol Harvey-Weigand.

October is Pastor Appreciation Month!

Lord, Help My Pastor

by Patricia Bankhead

Lord, help my Pastor, I pray

There are many obstacles in his way

Every burden help him to bear

Dear Lord, keep him in Your tender care

Give him strength and the ability

To care for the church and his family

Lord, there is so much he has to do

He can't do alone, he surely needs You

So shelter him in Your loving arms

Safe from all danger and unseen harm

Guard his mouth, his heart and mind

Remove every tittle of sin and pride

Keep him in the hour of temptation

May he not be moved by Satan's persuasion

Remove all fears, Lord, remove all doubt

By Your Spirit, Lord, be in his mouth

So that he will speak a word that is due

And bring Your dear people closer to You

In Jesus Name, Amen.

Your new parking space?

Not quite yet, but soon.

Come and see it in person on Sunday morning!
