Help us welcome our new summer intern, Grace Smith, to the firstChristian family! ☀️

Today is Grace's first day with us! We are so excited to have her serving alongside our church and team this summer! We know there is a lot of fun, ministry, and memories ahead!

Grace is joining us after finishing her third year with Summit Christian College. We can’t wait for you to meet her. If you see her around church, be sure to give her a BIG firstChristian welcome!

We’re so glad you’re here, Grace!

Remembrance is an act of gratitude.

Memorial Day reminds us that freedom came at a cost, and that faith gives us language for both mourning and hope.

Today we remember and honor sacrifice and courage.

Today we say farewell to the Jackson family on their last Sunday with us at firstChristian.

While it is never easy to say goodbye, we are incredibly grateful for the season of life and ministry they have shared with our firstChristian family.

As they step forward in openhanded obedience to the Lord’s calling for their lives, family, and ministry, we celebrate all that God has done through them and look with expectation toward all He will continue to do.

Please join us in praying for the Jackson family during this transition... that God would guide every step and provide peace as they follow where He is leading.

We love you, Jackson family, and we are cheering you on in this next chapter. 💙

Last Sunday, Kiah shared a powerful word on living open-handed before God for his final sermon at firstChristian.

A few takeaways we’re still holding onto:
• Open handedness sometimes means staying and sometimes means going, but either way, it takes surrender.
• It’s always better to surrender to Jesus than to ourselves. He helps us release the things keeping us from Him.
• The church isn’t just something we show up to, it’s something we live as.
• Closed hands say, “Someone else will give. Someone else will serve. Someone else will attend. Someone else will lead.”

“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” — James 2:17

We’re so thankful for how Kiah has poured into our church family. If you missed Sunday’s message, make sure to go back and watch it: https://fcnorfolk.churchcenter.com/episodes/668221?media_intent=videohttps://fcnorfolk.churchcenter.com/episodes/668221?media_intent=video
