WEEKLY E-MAIL PLANNING CALENDAR This calendar is currently being sent to 39 church members. Please give your e-mail address to Bob Pearce (252-533-0650 or rgpearce@charter.net) if you would like to be included on the mailing list. The church internet connection has recently been upgraded from NuNet dial-up (nni.com nee 3rddoor.com) to Embarq (nee Sprint) DSL broadband which has caused some of our e-mail addresses to change. Our web site www.fpcrr.com and associated e-mail addresses minister@fpcff.com and office@fpcrr.com have not changed. These addresses are listed on the bulletin back cover, the newsletter back cover, ww.fpcrr.com and our letterhead. I recommend you use these addresses when communicating with the church. Please delete the old NuNet e-mail addresses davidmin@nni.com and leenaesec@nni.com from your address book since these old e-mail addresses will not work much longer. We have arranged with NuNet (for $10 per quarter) to forward any messages sent to these old addresses to our new e-mail address for a short period until the message traffic declines. Our new e-mail addresses with Embarq are fpcrroffice@earthlink.net for the office and fpcrrminister@earthlink.net for our (next) minister. Since these Embarq e-mail addresses may change in a few months when EMBARQ changes from EarthLink to their own e-mail system and if (when) we change to yet another internet service provider, I recommend you use minister@fpcrr.com and office@fpcrr.com which should not change for a long time.

Fanny Crosby American Hymnist Fanny Crosby (1820-1915) was an American
lyricist, best known for writing the texts of Protestant Hymns. She was
blinded at six weeks old, lost her father when she was one year old, and
was raised by her mother and grandmother who raised her in Bible
studies. Because of her blindness, she memorized long passages from the
Bible, including all four gospels. Despite her blindness and hardships,
she wrote over 8,000 hymns! She had written the lyrics for so many
hymns, that publishers of hymnals were reluctant to use her name too
often, and she had over 100 pseudonyms. This gifted woman gave us such
hymn favorites as “Blessed Assurance,” Near the Cross” and “To God Be
the Glory.” The choir will be singing a medley of her songs on Sunday,
March 4th as we celebrate the gifts of women. As you listen to Fanny
Crosby’s words to the songs, you will hopefully be inspired by the faith
of such a woman that did not let the burdens of her life extinguish her
praise for God.
