Help us staff Christmas tree lot benefiting low income children


Our next service opportunity is coming up on Friday, December 14th from 3pm until 9pm. We will be working with the folks at Good Samaritan running a Christmas tree lot in Innsbrook.

The money raised from sales will go to purchase Christmas presents for 50-60 low income kids from Richmond subsidized housing.

We need lots of volunteers. We'll be in charge of the whole operation, from helping customers select trees, taking payment, and making the experience cheerful and friendly. We'll also need a few folks to help carry the trees and put them in customers' cars.

If you can stay the whole 6 hours from 3-9, that's great. If you can only make if for part of the time, that's great too.

If you're interested in helping, please contact Sean via email - (sean [at] thenewlanguage [dot] com).

FSC Bible Study kicks off this week!

A lot of people have asked, "Is there a Franklin Street Community Bible study?" And now, the answer is yes!

FSC is hosting a Bible study this Thursday and every Thursday thereafter. The topic will be the Gospel of Mark.

Our leader will be Kevin Greene, pastor at West End Presbyterian Church, who has graciously volunteer to lead us. Kevin has preached several times at FSC and joins us for worship every chance he gets. Kevin has also met with the Leadership Team several times to share his wisdom on how to go about finding a full time pastor.

All are welcomed to attend the Bible study. You don't need to be a Bible scholar or anything, just a hunger to learn more about God's word. Feel free to bring a friend!
