Dear FICC Friends and Family,


Every year we participate in Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child Shoebox. This year our Church packing / collection will look slightly different due to the pandemic.

“Even amid a global pandemic, we want to collect more shoeboxes than ever before, because now more than ever, children need hope!”

This year we would like to encourage you and your family to pack your own shoebox at home. We will then begin collection of these packed boxes over the next 3 Sundays starting October 25th - November 8th. If you prefer to just donate – we will also be accepting toy items as well as money donations for these boxes.

We will have collection boxes for those who would like to drop off gifts here at church.

For instructions on how to pack a shoe box please visit below link -

May God continue to bless this ministry and may our good Lord bless you and your family for your love, support and generosity.

In His Love,
Sister Edessa

The Return is a movement, an appointed time, and a specific day set apart for one purpose – the return to God by coming before His presence in humility, in sincerity in prayer, and repentance.
The movement begins now and will continue through the entire year of 2020 leading up to 10 Days of Prayer, Fasting, and Repentance – Starting with the Biblical Feast of Trumpets and ending with the Day of Atonement (September 18-September 28). The central day of The Return will be Saturday, September 26, 2020 on the National Mall and throughout the nation and world.

During the filming of The Passion of the Christ, Jim Caviezel (playing Jesus) lost 45 pounds, was struck by lightning, accidentally scourged with a whip twice, leaving a 14-inch scar, had his shoulder dislocated, and suffered from pneumonia and hypothermia from hanging mostly naked on a cross for several hours outside. His body was so stressed and exhausted from playing the role that he had to have 2 open heart surgeries after the production! The crucifixion scene alone took 5 weeks of the 2-month filming time.

The Passion of the Christ is the highest-grossing rated-R movie in the US, of all time, at $370.8M! Worldwide it grossed $611M. Most importantly, it reached many souls around the world. Mel Gibson paid $30M out of his own pocket for the production because no studio would take on the project, and Jim Caviezel was warned not to take the role of Jesus because it would ruin his career.

Today is Jim Caviezel’s birthday, and he’s 51 years old. He proudly proclaims his faith in Christ amidst the godlessness of Hollywood.
Thank God for people like him who will step out to do what might not sound “fun”, but it gets out the Word of God and the story of His salvation of mankind. Happy birthday, Jim Caviezel!
