Friendship
By Mark Taylor, Director of Student Ministries
Friendship is important in our society. Our friends influence our decisions and lifestyle choices, good or bad. A good friend will be there for us when we are going through the unimaginable. When we are hurting, struggling to find the good in a terrible situation, we can count on our friends to be right beside us – understanding our pain and sorrow, and offering healing simply through their presence. Scripture contains many examples of what good friendship looks like. One can easily look at the examples set for us by David and Jonathan, Ruth and Naomi, Elijah and Elisha, and even Job and his friends as just a small sampling of friendship in the Bible. Ultimately, though, we have the greatest example of friendship in Jesus Christ. In the Gospel of John, Jesus spells out what perfect friendship looks like. “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” A good friend will do anything for us, they will stop at nothing to take care of their friends. These are the kind of friendships we see in Scripture, and are the special friendships that are worth recognizing and celebrating. This Sunday at the 9:00 and 11:00 services, we are celebrating Youth Sunday. I hope you will join us as we discover together what it truly means to be a friend, and also as we celebrate our graduating seniors and the friendships we have enjoyed and continue to enjoy with them.

Circle of Compassion Dinner and Auction: a Huge Success!
A letter to First Christian Church
by Penny Shorow (COC Committee Member) Dear Chris, Please congratulate your loving congregation for the splendid way they have embraced the Week of Compassion this year! During the actual Week of Compassion, the offering received at the church was $7,200. That is a very considerable statement! It shows that the folks at First Christian care and are concerned. Especially during really hard times, they trust that Week of Compassion is present and there to help. In addition, at the Circle of Compassion Auction last Sunday (when we were trying to raise enough funds to be deemed a church to join the Circle of Compassion - and challenged to raise $10,000), I am still astounded to tell you that $12,412.67 was raised! Minus the expenses that need to be subtracted, there will be enough left to join the Circle of Compassion! I am amazed. What a wonderful blessing! Many thanks to everyone who contributed – either in bringing items to auction or by purchasing items to auction- and to the fantastic committee (chaired by Gwen Shaw) who put the event together in a month. Iris Jordan was the staff liaison, and she worked countless hours lending her expertise to the auction. Russell Kious catered, and the food was simply delicious. Dian Sill and Teresa Finley decorated and planned the layout. So much work! Frank Gresh and Mark Nash were the auctioneers – Thanks so much! All of this came out of the 40 Days of Compassion Lent Task Force. So many good things happened. What a congregation you lead! Again - Thank You!
First Christian extends a “Thank You!” to all the wonderful volunteers and people who helped make this event a success: Russell and Sherry Kious for catering the food; Frank Gresh & Mark Nash for being the Auctioneers; the COC Committee: Teresa (& Richard) Finley, Dian (& Jim) Sill, Tana Stufflebean, Jackie Stafford, Gwen Shaw, Penny Shorow, Nancy Smiley, Chris Shorow, Karla Mahan, Iris Muno Jordan; addtional volunteers: Sarah Combs, Mary Ann Tipton, Robbi Kinnaird, Greg & Jenna Garrett, Shannon Medley; Sigma Kappa Sorority, Acacia Fraternity; and, Metro Properties for set-up and clean-up.
THANK YOU to the Circle of Compassion Auction Donors!
