Pastor’s eNote: Weekly Update

Gym Edition!

Just two years ago we applied a new surface to our gym floor in the Fine Center. After years of gym carpeting, we now have a state-of-the-art floor which serves several new purposes.

The NQACC uses the gym as an indoor play space when the weather outside is too inclement. It was used often by our little ones due to the smoke in the air. It is also used by NQACC for some of their special enrichment classes each week.

Every Wednesday night our community dinner called The Table shares in dinner, fellowship, and a Jesus story around tables. We usually have around 30 people in attendance each week. We have a dedicated team of servants who help prepare food, set up, and break down after each meal.

Twice during the week a group of men in the Queen Anne community play basketball early in the morning. They have been gathering for years and are thankful for a bright and safe place to play.

THIS SATURDAY we will host our first Pickleball Clinic in the gym. We have slots of 90-minute lessons offered to the NQACC and anyone at FFMC. If you’d like to sign up for a hands-on practical pickleball lesson, please use the button below:

We are making every effort to make sure our spaces are used for ministry and service as often as possible. Caring for our buildings is an important part of our stewardship. I give thanks for the faithfulness of the FFMC to have a space such as our gym. It’s just a gym…but is so much more!

Grace to You All,

Pastor Craig Brown
