“For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.” Ephesians 12:4-5

Saturday, September 11th, will be a family reunion of sorts. FPCJ is hosting the first annual Clayton Community Festival for All. Our neighbors and neighborhood community groups will be gathering to spend the day together getting to know each other. Civil servants, Habit for Humanity, Good Shepherd Clinic, Suder Elementary School and several others will be on hand to introduce themselves, share their wares, and their services. There will be fun, giant inflatables for the kids; hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza and even a cake walk.

I call this a family reunion because as Christians we are instructed to include all people in our fellowship, no matter the gift or talent; their culture or economic status; their public prominence or private obscurity. For the past year FPCJ has been even more intentional about being involved within our community through developing relationships and it is making a difference. We are getting to know our neighbors better and we are enjoying more and more visitors in worship.

For this festival to be successful, we need every member and friend of FPCJ to show up! Look for the job sign-up sheet in the Family Life Center or contact Brian Turner directly. Come be a part of the community of FPCJ by being a part of the first Annual Clayton Community Festival for All. See details inside.

Grace and Peace for the journey,
Pastor Sue
