Welcome
to NFCS Day! The first classes of North Florida
Christian School were held on September 1, 1966.
As everyone knows, this ministry of our church
became very large, very fast and in many ways
has become the way people know us in this city.
While we have other special Sundays highlighting
certain aspects of our school ministry, this day
is a general recognition of a ministry that has
had an impact on all of our lives. Many of you
have graduates of NFC and some of you are graduates.
I have three sons who graduated from here and
went on to finish college, which is the story
for most of those who go all the way through our
school. We have many guests today who are not
members of our church but have students participating
in the service today. We welcome you and hope
that you will enjoy your worship experience here.
If you do not have a church where you regularly
attend, please consider making North Florida your
total spiritual home!
I was so pleased with the level of participation
in this year’s Global Impact Celebration. As I
went by all of the tables on Sunday evening to
meet with our missionaries, they were overjoyed
with the reception they received from our church
in general and the Sunday school classes specifically.
You really did a great job in caring for them
this year and that makes a big difference in the
overall success of the GIC. Friday evening’s event
could not have been any better! I was thrilled
with the level of participation and the idea of
having a sit down meal this year was tremendous.
Thank you for participating in the cake baking
contest and making sure that so many really great
cakes were available for dessert. There are too
many people to thank so I leave you all with a
huge expression of gratitude. You were all GREAT!
March is a very important month in our church
and begins next Sunday with TIME CHANGE! Next
Saturday evening is when we SPRING FORWARD! Don’t
forget to set your clocks ahead one hour before
going to bed. Please don’t miss Sunday school
and church because of TIME CHANGE! Even bigger
news is that the last weekend of the month is
the NORTH FLORIDA PASSION PLAY! Performances will
be 3/26, Friday evening at 7:00, 3/27, Saturday
at 6:00 p.m and 3/28, Sunday morning at 10:00.
There will be no Sunday school on Sunday morning
the twenty-eighth. Please help us get tickets
into the hands of your friends, family members,
neighbors and those at work and school. We want
this year’s PASSION PLAY and EASTER services to
be the highest attendances we have seen in years! |
