It is that time a year when we all start making resolutions about what we would like to see changed from 2010 to 2011. We often start new programs such as gym memberships, diets, etc... but so often we neglect our spiritual health. Starting this new year we are going to be jumping right into one of our new seasons. GROWing deeper, we are striving to GROW deeper as a church, which means study, learning, and discovering new things to help secure our foundation in Christ. The process we will be using to growing deeper will consist of reading the bible in a year as a community. What is neat about this certain reading plan is that it goes through the bible in chronological order, or as events took place. We encourage everyone to get involved with this reading plan, it wont take much of your time, but will require self discipline to keep reading every single day. If you haven&rsquo;t started yet it is not to late to catch up and join together as one body of believers GROWing Deeper together. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.fccflora.com/assets/Read Through the Bible in One Year-Chronological.pdf" rel="external">Reading Plan</a>]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="http://www.fccflora.com/files/podcast_3.pdf" length="67557" type="application/pdf"/></item><item><title>Project Feed 500</title><dc:creator>loren@fccflora.com</dc:creator><category>Service</category><dc:date>2010-12-20T12:00:00-06:00</dc:date><link>http://www.fccflora.com/files/50ac271e133d84637ed773384bb9c6f5-1.html#unique-entry-id-1</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.fccflora.com/files/50ac271e133d84637ed773384bb9c6f5-1.html#unique-entry-id-1</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[We are so proud that Project Feed 500 was such a success. Even though we just fell shy of our projected total of feeding 500 people, we were able to experience a greater victory. The victory experienced  was joining together as a community of believers to serve the community. A big thank you goes out to everyone who played a part in making this happen whether big or small, it wouldn&rsquo;t have been as success without your contribution. We can truly say we are better together and love GROWing the Kingdom together. ]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="http://www.fccflora.com/files/podcast_1.png" length="34644" type="image/png"/></item></channel>
