Join Us for Easter Morning Breakfast

As we prepare for Holy Week, we want to remind you of the complimentary breakfast following the Easter Sunrise Service on April 20th.  Please plan to join us for this food and fellowship opportunity.

"I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes."

(Job 19:25-27a)

Easter Sunday - One Great Hour of Sharing

We will collect the One Great Hour of Sharing offering on Easter Sunday, April 20th, as well as the following Sunday, April 27th.

This special offering of the Presbyterian Church (USA) supports efforts to relieve hunger through the Presbyterian Hunger Program, promote development through the Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People, and assist in areas of disaster recovery through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.

Those who wish to contrib ute can find a “One Great Hour of Sharing” envelope on the tables at the back of the sanctuary, and your donation can be placed in the collection plate.

Thank you. -FPC Mission Committee

New Bible Study Series Begins May 4^th

On May 4, Frank Denton will host a one-hour class on Sunday evening at 5:00 p.m., “The Bible, an Overview” as an introduction into his new Bible Study to begin in June.

This study will take you through the Bible Genesis-Revelations in a 52-week period. We will cover a book (or two) each week in our one-hour study. As a guideline we will use Dr. Alan B Stringfellow’s work book “Through the Bible in One Year” You will learn major themes of all the books, the key verses, the central mes sages. You will learn how each book is organized, how it came into being and its role in the Bible story.

This may well be the most exciting journey of your Christian life. It will go through step by step each book and connect the dots, if you will, for God’s plan of redemption for mankind from the first chapter. You will learn why the Jewish faith and traditions have had a strong influence on our Christian community even today. How the prophecies and events of the Old Testament relate to the New Testament and even our modern traditions and Christian faith. Sermons we hear weekly and hymns we sing will take on a new and special meaning after seeing how they relate to events in the Bible.  

 We hope to see you Sunday May 4th at 5:00 for an introduction to this exciting and informative journey.

Capital Campaign Update

Spiritual Direction with Rev. Callie Candee

Christians have sought out silent prayer retreats for centuries; driven by a hun ger for closer communion with God, we choose times of silence, of meditation of Scripture, to hear God more clearly and to follow Jesus’ invitation to 'come away with me to a quiet place and rest.' In our ever too busy world, such an invitation is a blessing, as we enter stillness, reflection upon God’s Word, and open ourselves to hearing more fully God’s response to us. Rev. Callie Candee is offering one-on-one Spiritual Direction sessions for our congregation. She can be reached at CallieCandee@yahoo.com.

Wear Your Name Badges!

To help Rev. Saathoff and his wife, Katy, get to know us easier, members are encouraged to wear their name badges on Sunday, September 15, and subsequent Sundays as well.

In case you’ve lost your badge or need a replacement, new badges with magnetic backings have been printed and are available in the narthex. Please see Pat Hudson if you have any questions.  

Also, all church members are asked to wear their name badges when visiting FPC and/or PDS. Anyone that does not have a badge should stop at the FPC office and get one before entering any other area of the building. While this may take a little extra time, it is necessary that we provide a safe environment for our school children, teachers and staff members. We appreciate your under standing.
