Do you want to be equipped to step up in a crisis? Join us for Crisis Response Training on February 12 & 13! Our goal is to have teams mobilized that can respond to crises in our church, our community, our nation, and abroad. We hope to be both a church that is prepared to handle situations that arise internally as well as one that is able to lend a hand to communities in need, whether our own or elsewhere. The 2-part training will take place Friday, February 12, from 6:30 – 8:30 pm, and Saturday, February 13, from 8 am – 12 pm. You can join us in the Activity Center or via Zoom. The cost is $10/minor and $25/adult. Learn more and register at the link below!
Annual Meeting
Our Annual Meeting is coming up on Sunday, February 14th, at 12:30 pm. This is the meeting where members vote on the budget, candidates for church leadership positions, and more. We’re holding the meeting in the main auditorium to give us lots of room to spread out, and an online option will be available at efree.org/meet. Lunch isn’t being served this year, but childcare is being offered - email childcare@efree.org for more information.

Groups at First Free are a place to belong. Groups provide an environment for discipleship and study. They give opportunities for hospitality. They help us to grow and learn about God, the Bible, ourselves, and each other. Groups do not supplant the church, but they provide a setting where believers can more fully realize what it means to be the church. To learn more and find your fit, click the link below!
