Kid Connection is Recruiting - Just Say Yes!
We are blessed to have so many of you serving our kids downstairs in Kid Connection each week. There’s no one type of person who serves, and you don’t need to be a professional educator or have a degree in child psychology to love these kids well. You just have to say yes! If you’re ready to say yes, fill out the form at efree.org/kids, or visit the table in the lobby. If you have any questions about serving, send us an email at kidconnection@efree.org.

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!

Our 2019 trip to Israel was amazing! We visited the Sea of Galilee, explored the ruins of Herod’s mountain palace in Masada, walked on the Mount of Olives, floated in the Dead Sea, and walked in the old city of Jerusalem where Jesus gave His life for us. Due to the incredibly high response from this trip and the number of people who wanted to go but could not this year, we’re considering another trip in the spring of 2020.If you are interested in joining us, please let us know at efree.org/israel.
