Thank you again to all of our sponsors and volunteers who made VBS a success! We had an amazing week full of God's children!

Parents, if you currently do not have a church home, we happily welcome you and your children back to First Pres anytime! Contact Rachel Godin for any questions, or to be added to future communications about events. This will be the only newsletter you receive if you are not currently on our regular email list.

In case you missed it, please watch our VBS recap video by clicking the link below:

Next Sunday, August 17th, Children will "pop up" to their next grade level groups in CREW, Little CREW, and First Pres Middle! If your child will be moving groups/rooms, you will be contacted with more information. Until then, all groups remain the same.

See below for the age groups that will be transitioning on 8/17:

Babies who are now between 19-36 months= Move up to our Toddler Little CREW Group

Children now in PreK3 for the '25-26- school year= Move up to our PreK 3/4 Little CREW Group

Children now in Kindergarten for '25-26 school year = Move up to Pier 95 with Rachel Godin

Children in 6th Grade for 25-26 school year= Move up to First Pre Middle Student Ministry



*We follow the same age guidelines as Hillsborough County Public Schools.

Parents, enjoy an evening out while your children experience Pajama Jam at First Pres! The night will be filled with music, games, crafts, and a movie! Plus, a pizza dinner is provided for appropriate ages. $15 per child. Birth through 5th grade kids are encouraged to wear comfy pajamas or attire (Space themed "flair" is a plus!), and get ready for a galactic night of fun and Jesus! Invite friends!

Please consider donating new or like new items to our CREW Store! We are looking for Lego sets, video game consoles, used (but functioning) Iphones or tablets, jewelry, wall art for kids/teens, baseball and pokemon card packs, sports equipment, and other high interest items for kids ages Kindergarten through 5th grade. You can drop donations in the church office labeled "CREW Store."
