We'll explore how these teachings of Jesus offer a transformative path to a more fulfilling and meaningful life and world-changing influence in our homes, places of work, and communities. We'll explore each Beatitude, seeking to understand its meaning and how we can apply it to our lives as men of God and for His glory.  This study will be co-facilitated by Jonathan Johnson and Keith Thompson. The study will be every Thursday, 12-1 pm, February 20 - April 10, at FPC Rome (Crossing, Side Room).  Please bring your own lunch. To register for the study and to find out more information, please contact Jonathan Johnson at  .

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES ~ SERVE PROFILE

The Bible teaches us that all Christians were “created in Christ Jesus for good works” (Ephesians 2:10). Our church has created a Serve Profile that helps you discover how God has gifted you for His service and shows you potential areas of service in the church and community. This Serve Profile does not automatically sign you up to serve anywhere! It opens the door for a ministry leader to contact you and discuss ways you may feel called to serve FPC and our surrounding community when opportunities are presented. You may visit fpcrome.org/serve and click on the SERVE PROFILE button. It is accessible from all mobile devices and takes about 7 minutes to complete. If you prefer a paper copy, contact the church office at 706-291-6033.
