Making a difference while at church!

At FCCEM, we serve lots of people outside our congregation - veterans, neighbors, people who seek food support - but we also serve on Sunday mornings. Whether as part of our welcome team, as the person who sets up the communion elements for the morning, or the one who operates our multimedia board, they're all servants, all following Jesus' lead.


Here's a brief summary of the ways people serve on Sundays at FCCEM:

  • welcome team

    [DUE TO COVID-19 CONCERNS,  WE CURRENTLY DO NOT CREATE A PRINTED WORSHIP FLYER.]


    As a result, our people worship without having to hold on to pieces of paper. And since we project song lyrics on a screen, neither do people have to hold open a hymnal.


    NONE of that diminishes our passion for providing intentional and Christ-like welcomes to all who join us on Sunday mornings. We'd LOVE to welcome you!

  • coffee and other refreshments

    From 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Sundays lots of conversations take place around the tables of our fellowship hall, aided by the coffee and goodies provided by volunteers. 


    When you visit, we invite you to spend a moment at the kitchen window to select from that morning's treats, which you can then enjoy at one of the room's many tables.

  • COmmunion preparation

    We are people of the table, which we means we take communion during every worship. Currently, take communion elements - the bread and cup - by using commercially-sealed combo packs. We invite those who join us by phone to use the elements of their choosing from their locations. Bill Coley issues each Sunday's invitation to communion and reminds us of each element's significance. Together we then experience a poignant reminder of the death and resurrection of our Lord.


    Our table of remembrance would be blessed by your company.

  • childcare

    [DUE TO COVID-19 CONCERNS, WE CURRENTLY DO NOT OFFER CHILDCARE DURING WORSHIP. WE INSTEAD WELCOME ALL FAMILY MEMBERS TO SIT TOGETHER IN FELLOWSHIP HALL DURING THE SERVICE.]


    We want parents and guardians of young children to feel connected and comfortable during worship, so we provide supervised care on our lower level for children in kindergarten and younger. Each week, a volunteer is prepared to welcome those who want to have a fun and enjoyable experience while the older folks remain in worship. 


    [NOTE: It's undoubtedly obvious, but we'll say it anyway: Young children are ALWAYS welcome to stay in worship with the other family members or friends. Our childcare ministry is an option, not an obligation.]

  • multimedia operator

    We sing contemporary praise music during our worship. Financial limitations don't allow us to have a live band, so we employ the next best approach: pre-recorded accompaniment tracks. Using high quality worship software, we project song lyrics, announcements, and other images via a hi-def 75" tv screen. Our multimedia operator runs the software during worship,
