We are thrilled that our new sidewalk to the FPC Pavilion is complete! This walkway gives better access for all to enjoy the FPC grounds, taking you past the labyrinth and through the arboretum before reaching the pavilion and firepit area. A big thank you to all who made this project possible- especially to the church staff, Ron Crutcher, and friend of FPC Tom Lamb for generously sharing their time & talents!
Join us tomorrow night at 6:00 PM! The whole church is invited to attend a special dinner fundraiser all about our Youth Group's summer adventures.

The money raised from this fundraiser dinner will go toward our Youth's trips NEXT summer, in 2024. It'll be here before we know it! Sign up today!
