South of the Buttonwood Tree by Heather Webber
Blue Bishop has a knack for finding lost things. While growing up in charming small-town Buttonwood, Alabama, she’s happened across lost wallets, jewelry, pets, her wandering neighbor, and sometimes, trouble. No one is more surprised than Blue, however, when she comes across an abandoned newborn baby in the woods, just south of a very special buttonwood tree.
Sarah Grace Landreneau Fulton is at a crossroads. She has always tried so hard to do the right thing, but her own mother would disown her if she ever learned half of Sarah Grace’s secrets.
The unexpected discovery of the newborn baby girl will alter Blue’s and Sarah Grace’s lives forever. Both women must fight for what they truly want in life and for who they love. In doing so, they uncover long-held secrets that reveal exactly who they really are—and what they’re willing to sacrifice in the name of family.
Sunday, September 8 | 10AM Rally Worship 11:15AM Mangia for Mission Lunch!
Rally Sunday! First, let's ALL invite both new and old friends to worship! Be intentional and take a risk to invite! Children's Sunday School will also resume this Sunday!
THEN stay after for lunch! Read more! Mangia?? It’s Italian! It means EAT! We are going to EAT in support of our Global Mission Fund!
Here’s the plan: First: Please sign up at the table in the narthex for the number in your household who would like to enjoy some spaghetti and other pasta with our church family after worship on Sept. 8. The meal is free but please plan to bring a donation in support of our mission fund. If possible, please make your plan to attend and access the sign up sheet by Sunday, August 18.
Second: The Compassion & Service Team is preparing the meal but if cooking ( especially Italian! ) is your thing, we would love to have you join us after worship on Sunday, August 18, and help in planning the preparations. If you would like to help but will not be on hand on August 18th, let us know and we will certainly be in touch.
Third: This is where it gets REALLY exciting! The day of the lunch, we would also like to have a Baked Treat Silent Auction. We are looking for all our talented bakers to share a cake, pie, any delightful baked treat, and we will see just how much the FCC folks will give for a Tasty Treat!!! Please be in touch and let us know what item you would like to prepare. Let’s spread the word and get the whole church family involved in a day of FUN, FELLOWSHIP, & FOOD!
The purpose of the Global Mission Fund is to support our Honduras mission team and their ministry or to support other members of the FCC family who may participate in missions beyond our local community.
Let us know if you have questions or would like to help. Thank you! Terry 252 218 1371 [email protected] Carol 252 230 6965 [email protected]
