UPCOMING EVENTS

August 24 - 2:00 p.m. - Sharing The Journey - M2 - Many of our elderly neighbors suffer from forms of dementia or memory loss and require constant care.  Often, they are attended by a loving family member.  Because of constant stress, these caregivers may experience fatigue, anxiety, and depression.  Joining a support group affords the caregiver the opportunity to share with other caregivers facing similar challenges.  The groups offer them the setting for sharing information, insight, advice, and encouragement.  They form a trusted group built on empathy and compassion and where the participants can share their own feelings and needs.

September 1 - Frank Armato will be our new organist/pianist/choir director. Frank has a degree in Piano Performance and has led choirs and performed in many services and concerts. We are fortunate that such a talented musician is available to serve on the FPC staff.
