First Free's Reopening Plan
We're excited to be holding in-person services! We're all working hard to have these services be as safe and enjoyable as possible, but they are going to little different than what you’re used to. We'll have a few different worship experiences available in different venues around the church, and everything is designed to be very safe. To make sure we are not exceeding safe capacity, you'll need to reserve a seat for each person at efree.org/reopen. While you’re there, please also check out our safety guidelines!
https://www.efree.org/reopenFree Kona Ice July 26!
We’ll be hosting the Kona Ice truck on Sunday, July 26, after service in the north parking lot, so be sure to stick around and join us for a free Kona Ice and some time in socially distanced fellowship! Please social distance and wear masks when not eating.
Pinecrest Family Retreat Cancelled
Given the current situation with the coronavirus, we have made the hard decision to cancel the Pinecrest Family Retreat this year. We're sad, but know it's the right call. The safety of our families is so important to us!
We are excited for an amazing weekend together October 22-24, 2021, so make sure to mark your calendars!

http://www.efree.org/directoryGroups at First Free
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!
