Welcome to the Fairhope Christian Church Web Site
Welcome to Fairhope Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)! On the front of our worship bulletin you will see: This church seeks to bind Christians together in meaningful fellowship, not through uniformity of doctrine, but through unity of commitment to one Lord and willingness to serve Him in the community and in the world at large.

In this congregation meaningful fellowship is found in our weekly celebrations of Holy Communion (all Christians are invited to receive the Lord's Supper, whatever your denomination). We experience meaningful fellowship in worship, where we praise God for salvation through Jesus Christ, and in Sunday School where we study the Bible. Meaningful fellowship is in the air as we gather for coffee following worship, in special activities for children, youth, women, seniors, choirs (of voices and of bells)... We enjoy fellowship with one another as we link arms to serve the poor in our area, to share the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ around the world, as we visit the home-bound, and as we daily pray for people who are ill, grieving, searching...

Members are received into our congregation through profession of faith in Jesus Christ and baptism in Jesus' name, through reaffirmation of faith, or through transfer of letter from another congregation. If you would be a part of the Meaningful Fellowship that is Fairhope Christian Church, we invite you to speak with the pastor, or with any of the elders

Our mission is:
* Proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ
* Seeking persons for commitment to Christ
* Providing opportunities for worship, personal spiritual growth, and service.
* Being a supportive fellowship and working for the unity of all Christians

Please feel welcome to come visit us.
From the Pastor

Thank You! Thank You!

A very big thanks to all who made the Good Friday Experience a very meaningful event in the life of the family of Fairhope Christian. Janet Loyed, Sandra Nelson and Bill Nelson transformed the Fellowship Hall into a 1st century banquet hall using props made by Janet’s late husband Bill. I think Bill would have been pleased with the transformation. Thanks to Ron Vilord and Bob Renner for a wonderful meal. One person said they expected a snack and instead got a full meal. Thank you to all who served the meal in a timely manner. Barbara Davis secured the costumes from First Baptist. Thanks to others who made or provided costumes. We appreciate First Baptist being willing to share with us. We thank all who were a part of the program.

Through everyone working together this was very meaningful Holy Week Experience.

Spotlight - News
Spring 2008

A live oak stands
On the lawn of the church.
On its branches, thick as trees themselves,
Grow Resurrection ferns.
On the altar candle flames shine
On a single strand of
Cobweb, hanging from a ceiling light.
The pastor calmly sits through the anthem
And the Bible reading,
Then stands to preach.
He sees in his congregation
Stolid pillars of the church,
Like the live oak tree,
And pure souls, like the candle flames,
And those whose faith is just a single cobweb strand.
One or two, sitting in the pews,
Have souls that need spring cleaning,
Like the lights,
And three or four, the very old,
Wait for the Resurrection, like the ferns.

Prayer For The Week of April 27
We pray this day, O God, for all people who are broken in body, mind, and spirit; For the bereaved, the lonely, the willful and the wayward. Grant, Gracious Lord, healed bodies, awakened minds, and renewed spirits. We pray for the forgiveness of our sins, for we earnestly long to be made whole. May we be worthy and made ready to be your productive disciples. We praise you and give you thanks, in the name of Christ. Amen,
