Summer Sermon Series
Appreciate These Things: Eight Ways of Cultivating Compassion
This June and July, we invite you to join us for a summer sermon series inspired by Jill Duffield’s Appreciate These Things: Eight Ways of Cultivating Compassion. Drawing on the virtues named in Philippians 4:8, this series will explore how followers of Christ are called to nurture compassion, gentleness, gratitude, and grace in everyday life. In a divisive and broken world, these timely messages will encourage us to become people who reflect the love and mercy of Christ in our relationships, our community, and our witness.

Thank You!
I am overwhelmed by the lovely notes, well-wishes, and generous gift from the Personnel Committee in celebration of my 30 years here at FPC. I could not imagine a lovelier group of people than those I have come to know in this congregation - one that time and again lives out the words in Micah 6:8 "to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God." I may not have 30 more years to give, but I know that those I spend here will be worthwhile.
With deepest gratitude,
Kathy Rushing
