Fall Creek Community Church RSS Feed http://fallcreek.org/ This is an RSS feed available from Fall Creek Community Church. Fishers, IN Fri, 03 Sep 2010 00:49:19 GMT 15 Updated Page: Welcome http://fallcreek.org/content.cfm?id=135 Join us Sunday at 10:15 a.m.

Knowing & honoring Jesus Christ is our aim, and we would love to come alongside you in that great adventure! We believe the message of Jesus is good news for everyone and all of life. Come this Sunday & you're guaranteed a warm welcome, uplifting music, and clear Bible teaching.

Our music is contemporary, & messages are anchored to the Bible & applied to 21st century life. Fun & safe children's ministry is provided for preschoolers throughout the Sunday service. During the school year, 1st - 6th graders join adults for singing and then go to their own area for age-appropriate ministry during the message. Because we want to support families in raising not just good kids but kids who love God, during the summer we typically engage in a series where families with 1st-6th graders get to worship & learn together. 

Outside of Sunday mornings, we offer several kinds of small groups--calling them growth groups--and a great youth group on Sunday evenings throughout the school year.

If you have questions after taking a spin through the website, feel free to contact us via the Contact Us button up top or by phone at (317) 595-8558. We're easy to find, just a mile East of I-69 on 116th Street in Fishers, IN. You can find detailed directions under the About Us menu above.

Here's a thought: I'm sitting in a Starbucks sweating like a pig because the A/C is kaput. I'm beginning to stink. But I'm happy and hopeful. Why? Because for the past 20 minutes or so, I've been availing myself of the wifi to once again view Fall Creek Community Church's future story. You can find it on this site, under "Resources," then "Sermons," then at the bottom of the page titled "Fall Creek Strategic Vision Presentation."

It's a story that makes my heart sing, because it was discerned by the whole church, over the course of a whole year, with plenty of open and frank discussion. And the whole shebang was bathed in prayer. It portrays in story form our best sense of what this church could look like ten years from now if we live into our full potential with and before God. To ask the classic kids' travel question, "Are we there yet?" Nope. Not by a long shot. But my heart sings nonetheless, because now we have a picture of what we could be. We have broad outlines of what to aim for and what to look for along the way. And because we have those things, we also have freedom to graciously say no to ideas that may be great but they're not God's call for us right now.

So yes, I'm beginning to ripen. Customers come and go (mostly go) while I'm here, exclaiming about the heat and humidity. I wish it were cooler. But I'm not complaining. I can see beyond the moment, to a future that looks bright because of who is there and who is leading us along the way. ]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:11:21 GMT Blogs PastorKen@fallcreek.org (Ken Cavanagh) http://fallcreek.org/content.cfm?id=151&content_id=48 Blog: Ah, the wonders of communication http://fallcreek.org/content.cfm?id=151&blog_id=47 It seems like it ought to be so easy, but understanding and being understood correctly takes plenty of patience and effort. Consider the following true story from 1993 when FBI agents conducted a raid of Southwood psychiatric hospital in San Diego. The hospital was under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of reviewing medical records, the agent in charge called a nearby pizza place to order out for his colleagues. Here’s the phone conversation that took place, pulled together by the agent involved & verified by snopes.com:

Agent: Hello. I would like to order 19 large pizzas and 67 cans of soda.

Pizza Man: And where would you like them delivered?

Agent: We're over at the psychiatric hospital.

Pizza Man: The psychiatric hospital?

Agent: That's right. I'm an FBI agent.

Pizza Man: You're an FBI agent?

Agent: That's correct. Just about everybody here is.

Pizza Man: And you're at the psychiatric hospital?

Agent: That's correct. And make sure you don't go through the front doors. We have them locked. You will have to go around to the back to the service entrance to deliver the pizzas.

Pizza Man: And you say you're all FBI agents?

Agent: That's right. How soon can you have them here?

Pizza Man: And everyone at the psychiatric hospital is an FBI agent?

Agent: That's right. We've been here all day and we're starving.

Pizza Man: How are you going to pay for all of this?

Agent: I have my checkbook right here.

Pizza Man: And you're all FBI agents?

Agent: That's right. Everyone here is an FBI agent. Can you remember to bring the pizzas and sodas to the service entrance in the rear? We have the front doors locked.

Pizza Man: I don't think so.

The FBI agents eventually got their pizza: but they had to drive over to get it.
How's your communication lately? I'm thinking Covey is on to something when he urges us to seek first to understand, and then to be understood. Here's to getting the pizza and pop delivered--but also driving over to get them if that's what it takes!
