Calling all Shepherds!

Are you looking for a way to help support the wonderful programs for our children and youth here at FPC? Help us as we learn! Sign up here to help support the great work of our Sunday School teachers and be a shepherd in our Elementary and Middle School Sunday School classrooms. By serving as a Shepherd, you are helping our teachers by being another adult in the room, to make sure that we have a safe classroom, and to fulfill the requirements of our Child and Youth Protection Policy. If you have questions about what it means to be a Shepherd, please reach out to one of the members of the Christian Education Committee or Rachel Vogado.

First Communion "Lunch and Learn"

When should my child participate in communion? How do I talk to my child about the Lord's Supper? If you have been asking these questions, you are invited join us for a First Communion "Lunch and Learn." Elementary aged students and their parents are invited to participate in an afternoon of learning about communion on Sunday, September 23rd, from 12:30 - 2:30 p.m. Please RSVP by September 20th.
