Welcome to the 4:12 Blog!

2007-08-31T07:37:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the brand new 4:12 blog!!

4:12 values encouragement, community, and fun for our FPCC students. It’s a night for students to come experience God in a deep and challenging way while still having fun. We will be using a rotational model for 4:12. Every month we will run through the following rotations:

· Week One: Worship/Game Night.
This is a night focused on connecting with God. These nights will include a student worship band, a teaching time, and a time for fellowship through games.

· Week Two: Community Night (**Off Site**).
This is a night focused on community. We will be meeting off site somewhere to spend time playing together. Some example nights might be bowling, capture the flag, etc.

· Week Three: Worship/Game Night.
This night will look the same as week one.

· Week Four: Outreach Night
This night is focused on outreach. It is a night for students to bring their friends who do no know God. These nights will have games and a salvation message.

4:12 will kick off on September 19th from 6:30-8:00 p.m. with a Worship Night!!
