Thank You
I would like to begin my tenure as Chair of the Worship Ministry Team giving a special thanks to Barbara Fenters who presented the wonderful story of the many contributions that John and Marj have made to the life and ministry of FCCF over the years they have been members, to Ada Rodman who secured pictures from Marj to be shown on the screen, and to David and Amy Styffe for the slides created and shown during the presentation. The Worship Ministry Team plans to continue to recognize more pairs of stalwart saints in our congregation on the fifth Sundays that will occur during 2013. Barry Woodbridge
