Faithful People Christian Church
Sunday Worship, November 5
In church tradition, Nov. 1 has been
called All Saints Day. On the first
Sunday of November, Florence
Christian will remember and honor
those who have died in the past
year. We will also give God thanks
for seven women and men who, by
their demonstrated servant leader-
ship, have been nominated by the
Memorial Plaque Committee and
affirmed by the Official Board as Me-
morial Plaque Recipients. These
plaques will be added to those al-
ready mounted on the memorial wall
of the chapel.
In addition, during our service, we
will celebrate Florence Christian’s
Memorial Fund and Permanent Fund
and dedicate the projects made pos-
sible by these resources.
The Memorial Fund is a way in
which persons can honor friends and
family at the time of death. Many
choose the Memorial Fund in lieu of
flowers. Such gifts are added to the
Memorial Fund and used for special
congregational projects as needs
arise. Gifts received are acknowl-
edged to the donor and the names
of those who donate are reported to
the family of the person honored.
The Florence Christian Church Per-
manent Fund is a growing resource
that enhances and extends the min-
istry of our congregation. Funds re-
ceived for the Permanent Fund are
invested and income is used annual-
ly. The funds are invested through
The Christian Church Foundation.
During our service on All Saints Sun-
day, we will recognize ten families
who have become a part of this min-
istry as Legacy Builders.
It is hoped that others will contribute
to the Permanent Fund through
gifts, bequests and other planned
giving programs. If you have ques-
tions about these ministries, please
speak to Glenna Galbraith, chair of
the Permanent Fund Committee or
one of the Permanent Fund trustees:
Ron Carroll, Lynn Caldwell, Todd
Reed, Josh Crabtree, Ken Mead or
our pastors.

Thank you so much for all the calls, cards, gifts, cares and
concerns as I undergo treatment. Patti Martin
All Elders and Deacons are invited to attend this discus-

members who are in the hospital. The goal is to pair an

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with members
in the hospital and each other providing comfort accord-
ing to God’s grace through our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ.
Pizza lunch will be provided.

November 5, 2017
Florence Christian has a great con-
nection and commitment to Arca-
dia Park Senior Apartments, located
right next door. For those new to
our church family, Arcadia Park was
originally known as Florence Chris-
tian Services Center. That’s right,
Florence Christian Church built,
owned and operated this affordable
housing facility. Though we sold
the building in 2005, Florence Christian Church is still com-
mitted to serve Arcadia residents.
How are we doing that? Here’s a list of all of the ways that
we partner in ministry with our next door neighbors:
Weekly Chapel. Wednesdays at 2 PM, led by Pastor Susan,
join us for singing, study and prayer.
Bus Ministry. Three wonderful members (Ted DeAlba, Jim
Galbraith and Mike Voskuhl) drive the bus each Mon-
day for 11-12 residents to do some much needed
shopping. In addition, upon request, we occasionally
will take residents to special events as the bus is availa-
ble.
Action Ministry. Twenty-nine volunteers make this minis-
try happen under the leadership of Donna Murphy!
They bring non-perishable food items to 12-15 resi-
dents (including 3 church members) each month.
7 Hills Food Distribution. Phyllis Reed leads this ministry
with the wonderful assistance of Mike Voskhul and
Butch Carr. A program of Live Well Northern Kentucky,
we pick up fresh produce on the 2nd
Friday of each
month and take it to Arcadia. Cur-
rently serving 40+ people.
DZ Connection. Discover Zone
and Adventure Zone (after-school
program) are connecting with Arca-
dia at least once a month (games,
karaoke, yoga, ice cream social,
Halloween party, Christmas pro-
gram).
Worship at Florence Christian:
We invite Arcadia residents to worship with us, and to
make a spiritual home here. Currently, we have several
that are participating.
Home Touch/Pie Day Ministry. Once a month, several of
our church friends who reside at Arcadia receive a lov-
ing visit and a bag of activities, notes, and goodies
from our Home Touch and Pie Day ministry
teams. Linda Kraft is the team leader for Home Touch
and Glenna Galbraith is the team leader for Pie Day.
As you can see, this is an incredibly important ministry of
Florence Christian! All of these ministry activities are fueled
by our mission and core values (welcome radically, serve
boldly and forming faith every day). We are now looking at
ways that we can build and improve the scope of our Arca-
dia ministry as we continue building loving relationships
that address physical, spiritual and emotional needs of resi-
dents and our church community.
Want to help serve? Let us know. We’ll put you in touch
with the team leader of the area of ministry you’re most
passionate about.

SERMON SERIES: The Love God W.A.Y.
We continue this sermon series called “The Love God W.A.Y.” Based upon the first of two great commandments, we will
focus on loving God’s W.A.Y. (With All Your) heart, soul, mind and strength. Come and join us as we explore ways that we
can enhance our devotion to God and grow in our spiritual lives as we love God more fully!

The first Sunday of Advent is Dec. 5! Come join us on Sun., Nov. 26th

Giving Tree Sunday, Nov. 5 through Sunday, Dec. 3
Make someone’s Christmas special this year!
The Giving Tree will be decorated with ornaments reflect-
ing the needs of children and seniors in our community.

Gift cards or cash donations
work just as well and will be

Why should I register as an
organ donor?
Nearly 1,000 Kentuckians are currently
on waiting lists for life-saving organ
transplants. Some of these patients
will die waiting. Hundreds more are
waiting for life-enhancing cornea and
tissue transplants. You can give HOPE
simply by being a registered donor!
What are the ethics of
organ and tissue donation?
Faith leaders around the world support
such donations as expressions of the
highest humanitarian ideals. The gift of
an organ or tissue essential to the life
of another human being is consistent
with the principals of religious teach-
ings. If you have more questions, con-
tact your religious leader or visit
https://organdonor.gov/about/donors/
religion.html. From KY Organ Donor
Affiliates, Oct. 23, 2017.
While the number of donations and
success rates have increased in recent
years, so has medical science’s ability
to save more lives with organ trans-
plantation, as well as the need for do-
nated organs & tissues. A single organ
and tissue donor can help up to 50
people in need.
If you wish to give hope, please
join the Registry today:
Place your name on the Kentucky
Organ Donor Registry by visiting
www.donatelifeky.org.
Kentucky drivers may also enter
their names on the registry when
they renew their driver’s license at
their circuit clerk’s office.
Tell your family of your decision.

~ ON BEING WHOLE ~ BENEFIT FOR
PATTI MARTIN
Patti Martin, the maintenance man-
ager at Florence Christian Church, is
undergoing cancer treatments. To
help with her medical expenses,
Party Town, owned by Drew Mur-
phy, is hosting a benefit for Patti on
Fri., Nov. 10, 5:30 - 7 PM. Admis-
sion is $10. Braxton Brewing will be

A GREENER THANKSGIVING
According to “RecycleWorks”, from
Thanksgiving to New Years Day, house-
hold waste increases by more than 25
percent. So, start off your holiday season
on the green foot by making a few small,
eco-friendly changes this Thanksgiving.
When shopping for your Thanksgiving
meal, keep two words in mind: organic
and local. These keywords will guarantee
a fresher, more nutritious meal. This year
shop your local turkey farm and your
farmers’ market.
If you are going over the river and
through the woods to grandmother’s
house for Thanksgiving, be sure to turn
down the thermostat and turn off the
lights to save energy while you’re gone.
Get out your nice china for the occasion.
Choose a tablecloth or other decorative
item you’ve been eying that you can reuse
in the future. Cloth napkins are a definite plus. If you’re
expecting a big crowd and disposable place settings are
your only choice, opt for biodegradable and compostable
utensils, napkins and plates, such as
those from the
Biodegradable Store.com.
Collect pretty leaves from your yard and
buy pumpkins from the farmers market
to make a table arrangement like in the
photo above.
Lastly, recycle all packaging and bever-
age containers! Happy Thanksgiving!

Care for God’s Creation
The Christian Church (Disciples
of Christ) is a movement for
wholeness in a fragmented
world. Out of our call to “do
justice,” we strive to demon-
strate the fullness of God’s
shalom through living out our
faith by caring for God’s creation.
From Hawaii and Washington to
Ontario and Florida, and every-
where in between, Disciples congregations are
caring for creation in unique and inspiring ways.
CREATION CARE
And let the peace of Christ rule
in your hearts, to which indeed
you were called in the one
body. And be thankful.
Colossians 3:15

November is here and lots of fun and fantastic things
are in place at Discover Zone.
We at DZ are preparing for fall and Thanksgiving, and
working on our Christmas play, which is Dec. 8 at 6:30
PM. Once again we will offer a very “cute and fun”
evening with entertainment, cookies and Santa. All are
welcome to attend. We will have sign-up sheets availa-
ble for anyone who would like to donate cookies. Dona-
tions are always appreciated.
Discover Zone has recently been awarded two grants for
screening and assessment. The first gives us access to
the Deveroux Early Childhood Assessment (DECA) which
is a tool that allows us to determine if there should be
concern in the developmental areas of self-control, initi-
ative and protective factors. This grant is funded
through the United Way and administered by North Key
Community Care.
Another exciting tool was awarded through 4C and Suc-
cess by 6. We have received the Battelle screening tool
and training. This tool is used by Boone County Schools
to screen incoming Kindergarten children.
With these tools we will collect data, ensure our children
are kindergarten-ready and allow for early intervention if
necessary.
Enrollment is holding steady and the
program is operating at near
capacity. Thank all of you for your
support.
Blessings, Julie

Research tells us that the most important influence in a
child’s faith is not whether they come to church or youth
group but their family’s faith practices. So, here at Florence

dren and equipping them to guide their children’s faith
journeys with our monthly “Date Night” program.
4:45 PM – Drop your child off for an evening of fun. They
will eat dinner, play together, play games, do a craft and
watch a movie.
5 PM – Attend a Learning Session with other parents and
caretakers to be equipped to incorporate a family faith
practice into your family’s routine.
5:30 PM – Go! Use the next 3 ½ hours to do something
that supports your family.
9 PM – Pick your child up by 9 PM
REGISTRATION REQUIRED: Tues., Nov. 14th
. Register
online at florencechristian.org/date-night/
A dinner of cheese pizza, drink and a light snack will be
provided. If your child has other dietary needs, please pro-
vide a dinner and snack.
Upcoming Date Nights: 1/20, 2/17 & 3/17

NEW NURSERY WORKERS
We are pleased to welcome
to our team:
Kourtney Hedrick
Kourtney was born in Kentucky
and has lived here all her life.
She currently works at Citibank,
and has been there a little over
a year. She loves children be-
cause they are so honest and
genuine, and can always bring
a smile to your face without
even trying. Much of her experience comes from work-
ing with children in her family and her friends families.
She enjoys watching children learn and grow and finds
it rewarding to get to be a part of that!
Kaylee Ernest
Kaylee is a sophomore at
NKU. She is currently going to
school to be an elementary
school teacher. She has lived
in Northern Kentucky for all of
her 19 years and loves every-
thing about it. She is working
at both the Discover Zone
Preschool and Childcare Center as well as in the church
nursery!
The addition of these new workers means that we have
coverage of three workers for the 10:30 AM service. Now
we can separate older children from our littlest ones. As
we continue to evaluate which spaces will be best for
drop-off and pick-up, we will let you know! If you ever
have any questions or concerns, please contact Pastor
Diana. [email protected]

Children Worship & Wonder
Sundays, 9 AM & 10:30 AM – Ages 4-7
Children Worship & Wonder is a very special worship experience designed for younger chil-
dren. It is influenced by Montessori ideas and creates a welcoming environment to grow in rela-
tionship with God through ritual, telling our sacred stories, and providing ways for the children
to develop their theological imagination. Children are invited to leave the sanctuary after the
children’s blessing and are escorted to the Children’s Worship Center in the atrium. Parents are
invited to reunite with their children after the close of worship outside the Children’s Worship
Center in the atrium.
Kid’s Quest - Sundays, 9 AM and 10:30 AM for ages 8-13
Kid’s Quest is a special worship experience for our older children in an environ-
ment of worship leadership and learning. It incorporates the same scripture as in
“Big Church” and provides children ways to interactively engage with the scripture
lesson and the worship experience. Children are invited to leave the sanctuary
during the children’s blessing and are escorted to the chapel or atrium. After the
conclusion of their activities, they are escorted back into the sanctuary to rejoin
their families for communion.

Sunday worship is when all of us gather as the people of
God to praise God, to connect with God and each other.
At Florence Christian Church we encourage children to
begin worship in the sanctuary with their families. After the
music and opening prayer in a Children’s Blessing, one of
the pastors and the congregation bless the children to con-
tinue their worship in developmentally appropriate envi-
ronments. Special worship activities for children are also
available during both worship services.
Nursery Care: If you have a little one, nursery care is avail-
able at each service, so please make the choice that best
fits the needs of your family.
As always, children are welcome to worship in the Sanc-
tuary for the entirety of worship with their families. We
welcome their wiggles and giggles, cries and coos! They
are beloved members of the family of God.
