Every year we look forward to having young leaders of our church prepare worship for us. This year, our 6th-12th graders will lead Youth Sunday on April 27 at the 9am and 11am service. The following Sunday, our K-5th graders will lead Children's Sunday on May 4 at the 11am service (the 9am service will still meet in the chapel that day.) 

Come witness the wisdom and joy our youngest members bring to the life of FPC!

Sanctuary Flower Sign-up

It's time to sign-up for sponsoring flowers for our Sanctuary in 2025! The sign-up sheet is located outside of the receptionist’s office in the main church office building.

If you are unable to sign up in person, you may also contact Sarah Wolak at 334-728-7853 to sign up for a date. You are welcome to split the cost with another family-- just be sure to write both names on the line. The cost of the flowers is $50 per arrangement, not including tax and delivery fee. As before, you are welcome to bring the arrangements home after the service, or to leave them to be delivered to other members of the congregation.
