Manhood. Womanhood. Marriage. Parenting. Singleness. Sex. Divorce. Homosexuality. Same-sex marriage. Polygamy. Pornography. Adoption. Abortion. Cultures around the world perceive each of these issues differently. So how does God's Word address them? During the Secret Church simulcast on November 4, 2011, we will explore how the gospel uniquely affects our understanding of family, marriage, sex, and host of related (and controversial) issues that are ultimately foundational for the display of the glory of God in our lives, in the church, and in the world. Secret Church Simulcast is 6 hours of intense Biblical teaching and prayer for the persecuted church led by David Platt, Pastor of The Church at Brook Hills, and author of Radical. This is not for the uncommitted or faint of heart. But if you desire to know God more deeply through His word and know His church more fully around the world, then please join us for Secret Church.

Foothills Sanctuary

Prayer is a wonderful privilege we have as children of our Heavenly Father. Jesus reminded us of His readiness to hear us and answer us with whatever we need (Matthew 7:7-11). With all of the good our Father has blessed us, with all of the hurt that is within and without, with all of the need we see, both near and far, and ultimately for His glory and kingdom to be seen and shown, let us pray, together, for ourselves, our church, our community, our country, and the nations.

$7.00 per ticket ● $12.00 per child for childcare (childcare provided at Foothills; must register by 9/26)

Filled with action-packed police drama, Courageous is the fourth film from Sherwood Pictures, the moviemaking ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. Riveted moviegoers will once again find themselves laughing, crying, and cheering as they are challenged and inspired by everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children. Protecting the streets is second nature to these men. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That's courageous.

Join a group of Foothills filmgoers as we meet up at Harkins Chandler Fashion Center for the 4:40 PM matinee showing of Courageous on Saturday, October 1.

Tickets will be available for sale at Foothills between services tomorrow morning, Sunday, September 18. Individual tickets are priced at $7.00 each. Please note that this film has been rated PG-13 and is not suitable for all ages. Childcare will be available at Foothills from 4:00-7:00 PM at a per child cost of $12.00. Registration for childcare must be processed by September 26.

Our Rio Vista Center Food Drive continues through September! Bring non-perishable food items and deposit them in any of the big red bins located throughout the building.

Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor. — Proverbs 22:9 (NLT)

Jeanne is most recently from Huntsville, Alabama, where she served for the past 9 years as a Children’s Minister.  Her husband, Paul, is a professional pilot and transferred to Phoenix in April.  They have three children: Stephanie, 10; David, 6; and Sarah is 3.  Jeanne is a graduate of Delta State University and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.  She is equipped, called, and we believe that she is an answer to prayer!

Prior to the vote on Sunday, Jeanne will meet with Children’s Ministry Sunday School teachers and their spouses, and she will also participate in a meet-and-greet with our children and their parents.

Let’s continue to pray that the Father will make His will clear to us as we move through these final steps in our process.

We've just introduced today a new place at the Web site for online submission of prayer requests. These requests will be treated with the very same care and timeliness you've come to expect with our current handling of prayer requests that come in through other channels. Find the prayer request form linked off of our Contact Us page.

We've also published an online staff directory. This is a familiar feature that's making its welcome return to our Web site. Here you'll find names, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses for Foothills' staff. As with the prayer request form, the staff directory is linked off of our Contact Us page, but it can also be conveniently reached through the Our People page.

There's much more to come! Thanks for your continued encouragement and support!

As with our old site, you can always find photos of church worship and activities at a dedicated Photos page, and links to all new photo albums posted to the Web site will show up on this page.

New to this site is the ability to find photos by ministry area. For example, you can now visit the Children's Ministry page to find photos of our just-completed Vacation Bible School program, Big Apple Adventure! You can also visit our Student Discipleship page to see pictures of our youth in action at Fuge in Glorieta, New Mexico!

We've got many great photographers at Foothills, and you can count on seeing more photos on these pages and on the pages of our other ministry areas soon!

We Want Your Photos!

Do you have pictures of Foothills worship, programs, or activities that you'd like to share? Drop of your photo CD, DVD, or flash drive in the church office, or simply e-mail images to Ben. Thanks!

It's been the work of many folks, both here at Foothills and outside of our walls. In particular, thanks go to Jodi Deros and ATOMdesign who are responsible for producing our awesome new logo, Shannon Allen of Shannon Allen Photography who took all of the incredible new photos of our pastors, our administrative staff, and our ministry leaders, and the wonderful team at Element Fusion (Brian, Neill, and Russ) who helped us to build the site and to really make it uniquely ours.

All of our Pastors lent their voice to the process, too, but Brian McCoy and David Gantenbein deserve special recognition for the hours they spent helping to sort out all of the many details to ensure that this site serves the ministry and communications needs of the Foothills family as we gather, grow, and go together for many years to come.

Last, but never least, thanks to all of you for your prayers, your encouragement, and your support as you all helped to build excitement for all of the benefits that this new site will afford us. I thank God for all of you, and I can't wait to see how He's going to use all of us next!

Love God. Love others.

Ben
