ReOpen Task Force Update:
It is heartening to see the case numbers dropping in our region. Because of those drops, the COVID Task Force at FPC has announced that we will be making masks optional for all fully vaccinated persons. Masks are strongly encouraged for those who are not yet vaccinated and will still be worn by those working closely with children, as they are not yet eligible for vaccination. Also, we have resumed congregational singing in the 8:30 worship service.

Would you be willing to collect the items for a basket this week and drop them off at the church by this Sunday, Nov. 14? If so, sign up for a basket HERE.
Please have all your items together in one bag or basket so they can be easily distributed.
Thank you for your willingness to help out and show some love this Thanksgiving season!

Inquirer Gathering: November 21
It is difficult to have all your questions answered from just attending our worship service. The Inquirer Gathering is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about our faith community and ask questions you have about our congregation or the Presbyterian Church in general. Whether you have been visiting for a week or over a year, you are invited to join us after the 8:30 AM service in the Parlor. FPC staff and members will share how God is at work through the mission and ministries of our faith community. We will conclude our time with a tour of the facility. We hope you will join us on Sunday, November 21.

Wednesday Night Live Programming, 6:45 PM
Following dinner, pastor Chris will lead us in Gratitude: Home, Church, World. We will explore gratitude as a, perhaps THE, Christian posture in the world and ask how our living might be influenced by the practice of gratitude. Each evening will explore a different sphere – home and family, the community of faith, and the wider world. There will be a nursery and childcare available. Let us know in the comments on the meal sign up if you need either.

Worship Flowers
Do you appreciate having flowers in worship each week? Would you be willing to help arrangement them with another person on a Saturday morning? We have several members who have faithfully arranged the worship flowers for many years and would love to add to this group so the frequency of arranging is less. You would be matched with someone who has done it before so you can learn. Please contact Margaret Roberts (jimroberts45@comcast.net or 615-584-4013) to learn more. This would be a fun this to do with a friend or provide an opportunity to meet some new people.
It is also time to sign up for 2022 flowers! You may sign up to dedicate flowers each Sunday in 2022 HERE.
