Equipping God’s people to embrace a broken world with the hope and compassion of Jesus
WELCOME! It is our prayer that you will find First Covenant a vibrant and thriving place where you can sense God’s presence, experience his love, and
come to know him better.
We welcome children in the service; the back rows of the Worship Center are reserved for parents with small children. If you prefer,
nursery is available in the lower level (west side) of church for children through age two.
Greeters and ushers are on hand in the entry ways and outside the Worship Center—please feel free to ask any of them if you have
questions or need directions!

TODAY AT FCC
Our journey through lent brings us to Palm Sunday. What is Palm Sunday? It is a day where we reflect on a time
in history where people were so excited about what was happening, they put their cloaks on the ground and cut off palm branches and laid
them in the path of the one who was to be their king. We’re so excited you’re
here to explore this amazing story!
We will also be blessed with the hard work of our FCC kiddos, as they sing “Faith” and “The Everlasting God.”
If you’re age college to 30ish, join us after the service in “The
Loft” (mezzanine) for lunch, games, and socializing!
HOLY WEEK AND EASTER AT FCC
This week presents some of the greatest opportunity all year to reach your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors with an opportunity to share the Gospel. We invite you to grab a few invitation bags that are available in the Fireside Room. Who is God prompting your heart to invite?
