Hello First Presbyterian Church,


We’re expecting the Holy Spirit to come this Sunday on Pentecost! This is the Sunday the Church celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit 50 days after Easter. We recognize the Holy Spirit as our Advocate who encourages, comforts, empowers and sustains us. Symbols of the Holy Spirit include the dove, tongues of fire, and wind. All are encouraged to wear the colors of fire in worship on Sunday: red, orange and/or yellow.


All children and youth (and accompanying adults!) are invited to help us visualize the coming of the Holy Spirit during the Opening Hymn. Please meet with Pastor Rebecca at the back of the Sanctuary at 10:20 for instructions.



Even as Easter people, we wait for God’s goodness and mercy for all people. Join us this Sunday as we pray: Come, Holy Spirit, Come!


Grace + Peace,

Rebecca

COVENANT OF CARE

Remember: by attending worship or other events in-person at FPCR, you are agreeing to a covenant of care which includes self-screening for COVID symptoms before choosing to attend in-person activities. Masks are optional but recommended. We have members that are continuing to wear masks, due to health concerns or out of care for others. Please respect the decisions and personal space of others as you attend FPCR.

We're so excited to invite you to our first UKirk Gala! Join us for food, drinks, music, dancing, and so much fun at the Homecoming of Your Dreams.

Is your box beginning to overflow with items you can give up and get out for teachers to use???  

How about the office area this week?? As some of us are downsizing from two home offices to a smaller area to pay bills and write notes, we don't need 4 staplers, all those scissors, and the binder clips, paperclips and rubberbands that have been multiplying in the drawers. Post-it notes, boxes of staples (my boxes of staples are way out of proportion to the number of staplers I have, how does that happen??), desk organizers, tape and clipboards. Something another friend suggested: the free address labels you receive in the mail. If you've got way more than you need, clip off your name and put those cute little stickers in an envelope.  A teacher would always love to have extra stickers to reward a student on a paper which they did well! The file drawers may have extra pendaflex, folders, copy paper, and envelopes of all sizes.

You may even have a crate or two that you don't need and can gather the items together. 

So many goodies for teachers. Happy gathering!!
