Fellowship of the Parks
Welcome to Fellowship of the Parks
Fellowship of the Parks is a church where everyone can find a family. We are made up of people from all walks of life, who come together to worship God. We have a big heart for adoption and caring for orphans. We are passionate about creating healthy marriages. We believe God’s plan for each person is that they would be adopted into His family through faith and, in turn, they would care for the people around them.

Digging Deeper:
1. This week we learned that we can’t control what God has planned for our life, but we can control our attitude. Worry is a reactive mindset that God does not desire us to live in, while concern is a proactive mindset that can be beneficial.
Read Philippians 4:6-7

Now let’s flip our perspective! We know that God does not desire for us to live in a state of worry, but rather He desires for us to trust Him, knowing that He has complete control. This is a daily practice that we must be intentional about, and we will talk about how we can be successful in letting go of worry!
Read 1 Peter 5:6-7 and Proverbs 3:5-6.
