We have a men's group that meets in the activity building each Monday, Wednesday, & Friday around 9:00 AM. They enjoy coffee, conversation, birthday treats, laughter and so much more. All men are invited to join in the fun!
Come join us for our Tuesday morning Bible study starting at 10:00 AM each Tuesday. Everyone is welcome.
Ladies, looking for study time just for you? Come be a part of our Women's Bible study on Tuesday nights starting at 5:30 PM. Bring a friend. We hope you can make it.
We have a fun time each Wednesday night. Things kick off with a kid friendly meal at 5:30. While it is "kid friendly" the adults really enjoy the meal also and are always welcome to eat when the kids do. We have a love offering for the meal but we never EXPECT you to pay. We want all families to know they are welcome to also eat! Then from 6:00-7:00 the kids have AGAPE games, songs, activities, lessons and so much more. Pick up is at 7:00 PM sharp. If your child has never attended an event at First Christian Church (Benton) please come in with your child so we can obtain an emergency contact phone number and also discuss any food allergies he/she may have. We work hard at keeping all children safe!
(Remaining AGAPE nights; April 24 & May 1)
Our final meal/AGAPE will be May 1st this year. However, we always have fun activities staggered through out the summer and we will also post those events. You never know what we might get involved in around here!
Our church offers assistance to patrons of I-Wash laundry (Benton). We staff a table on the 3rd Sunday of each month from 1:00-4:00. We will pay for up to 3 loads in the washing machines along with supply you with laundry detergent if needed.
No forms to fill out. No criteria to meet...just voice a need and we will help you out.
The ladies of Christian Women's Fellowship (CWF) would like to invite you to join them on the first Thursday, of each month starting at 1:00. Come see what they are all about.
We are accepting donations of SMALL bottles of laundry detergent that we can hand out during our I-Wash laundry ministry on the 3rd Sunday of each month 1:00-4:00
CAMP WORK DAY
Camp Kum-Ba-Ya is a very important part of FCC, Benton and the community. It is a wonderful camp that offers summer camps for local kids. FCC, Benton has recently received a grant to be able to financially support a special summer camp for children in foster care (Camp AGAPE). The camp can also be rented out for reunions, birthdays, corporate events, etc.
The property requires a lot of volunteer work to be maintained and kept safe for the kids, counselors, and renters. There will be a WORK DAY on Saturday, April 20th (4943 Barge Island Rd., Benton). Gates open at 7:30 and work begins at 8:00. All skill levels welcome. Kids welcome also. EVERYONE MUST WEAR CLOSED TOE SHOES ON THE WORK DAY. If you can only spare 1 hour of your time it truly helps them! Maybe you can even pack a few snacks and donate 3 hours of your time. There is so much work to do for men or women. Trades work, painting, raking, dusting, organizing, hauling, cutting, etc. There is a task for everyone. They hope you can find the time to come out and help them!
FISH FRY
We will be having a church wide fish fry on Sunday, April 28th at 5:00. The sides, desserts, and fish will be provided by the church. All you need to bring is your appetite & smile!!!
We will have a love offering to benefit LifeWise Academy here in Marshall County. LifeWise is a program that picks kids up at a local school and buses them to a nearby church to lead discussions on the Bible. This program is 100% privately funded and we will donate all contributions from the fish fry to LifeWise.
