Announcements for Sunday, May 12, 2024

  • Today’s Order of Worship: This morning we are worshiping in a somewhat similar way to the Sunday night service that Anita and her colleague Ted Steiner developed at Notre Dame College. Thank you for participating in a somewhat different flow this morning! Thank you to the Steiner family, Kennedy Weaver, and others for providing the music!
  • Inclusion Statement Vote: Earlier this week, a draft of the proposed FMC Inclusion Statement was emailed out to congregants. On Sunday, May 26 we will vote on the statement in a short congregational meeting after the worship service. If you have any questions or comments about the statement, there will be opportunities during Adult Sunday school on May 12 & 19, or you can contact Pastor Alvis directly.
  • Gifts Discernment at FMC: The season of Gift Discernment is upon us! A copy of the Gifts Discernment document was emailed out earlier this week, and hard copies are available here at the church. Please take the next two weeks to prayerfully consider how you might serve at Friendship, or who might serve in the roles we need. Please submit suggestions by May 19. 
  • Graduation Sunday: On Sunday, June 9, we are having our Graduation Service in the morning followed by a lunch picnic outside. We are providing the lunches, but will need you to RSVP if you plan on attending, and what kind of wrap you would like. Bagged lunches will include a Wrap or Gluten Free Sandwich, chips, cookie and fruit. The option for wraps/gluten-free sandwiches are: Turkey Wrap: Turkey, havarti cheese, lettuce, avocado, mayo and tomato; Roast Beef Wrap: roast beef, provolone cheese, lettuce, red onion, tomato, horseradish sauce; Veggie Wrap: avocado, tomato, cucumber, bell peppers, red onion, hummus, lettuce. A freewill offering will be accepted to help cover the costs of the lunches. Please RSVP to Ruth at with your selection and dietary concerns before June 2nd.
