2024 Estimates of Giving:

Submit Yours Today!

“I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10)

Last Sunday we heard from Elder Kara Landefeld about why she gives to FPC. Join Kara in submitting your estimate of giving for 2024 online, or putting your pledge card in the offering plate this Sunday. We are seeking 100% participation in our Abundant Life annual giving campaign, at whatever level is right for you. A habit of giving as a spiritual practice helps us become joy-filled, generous people who live out of a sense of God's abundance. Join us in celebrating the abundant life we share at FPC!

Advent Bible Study Begins Nov 26!

The Gospel of Mark doesn’t have a nativity story—so where’s the Advent message? Join the Adult Bible Study class at 9:30 beginning Sunday, November 26, when a different leader each week will help us discover Advent in the Gospel of Mark. The short book Holy Disruption will be our guide to a fresh understanding of the holiness of Christmas grounded, not in a conventional cozy Christmas message, but through Mark’s disquieting gospel, which invites its readers to experience God’s disruptive but transformative love for us and our world. Participants will receive a copy of the book, which includes a daily Scripture reading guide to help you work your way through the gospel of Mark during the four weeks of Advent.
