Thank you to Andy H. who has upgraded the Wi-Fi in the church offices, the library, the Community Room, Fellowship Hall, and -- in time for our digital congregational meeting -- the sanctuary! We are so grateful for Andy’s quiet, behind-the-scenes attention to this invisible force which keeps the currents of ministry running.

Every good gift, every perfect gift, comes from above. These gifts come down from the Father, the creator of the heavenly lights, in whose character there is no change at all.  (James 1:17 CEB) 
 
At FPC Pottstown, we believe that our time, our talents, our earthly treasures are not our own; they are gracious gifts from God. God entrusts them to us, and calls us to use our gifts and our lives to make God's love known in the world.
 
The coronavirus has not stopped God's work! We continue to clothe, feed, educate and uplift one another, and our neighbors in need.  This work requires offerings of time, talent and treasure. Your giving makes that work possible. Thank you!
