One Worship Service

Sunday December 28, 11 a.m. 

On Sunday, December 28 we will welcome Rev. Leigh Anne Armstrong to lead worship at the 11 a.m. service in the sanctuary. This will be the only service of the day, with no Sunday School for adults or children. 

We look forward to resuming a regular worship schedule on Sunday, January 4!

Presbyterian Women invite FPC members to participate in a Sunday-Soup-Swap on January 25 at 5:30 in Conway Hall. Please bring your favorite homemade soup in four plastic containers, approximately 5.2 cup size. Label containers with your name, soup name and ingredients so folks can avoid potential allergens. Bring 4-take 4. What a delicious way to share and discover new ways to keep warm this winter!
