We will celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion NEXT Sunday, August 24.  We are thankful for your understanding as we change our monthly sacramental observance to accommodate Pastor’s vacation schedule.  The next time we have communion will be World Communion Sunday, October 2.  So we hope everyone will participate this coming Sunday!

We have begun a new prayer movement for our church:  specifically the crucial building needs we have.  Plans are underway to install a new roof, and to maintain our parking lot.  We are bathing these plans in prayer, and invite you to join us!  Let us trust in God for all our needs (Proverbs 3:5-6).  If you have questions or an opinion about either of these projects, please bring it to a member of our Church Council.  You are always welcome at their meetings.  Thank you!

Household Giveaway will be held August 28th.  Items need for Aug. 25th.  We will be handing out Band-aids and Shampoo.

Please make our Preschool ministry the priority for our mission giving at this time.  We want our Preschool to thrive!  God is not finished with this 50-year ministry of Fairhope Church!  If you wish to donate to our Preschool ministry, please mark your offering envelope Fairhope Preschool ministry.
