A Message From Pastor Tempe',
Be a part of the wide globe!! 

This is World Communion Sunday when Christians around the world will be receiving communion as one unified Body of Christ.

Sara Wood is our lay reader and she and Jane Frankland will be initiating a Sunday School class on the Apostle’s Creed at 9:00 a.m. in Fellowship Hall.

Due to the rains of Hurricane Ian we will not be having a Pet Blessing on Saturday. Please speak to Tempe’ if you would like to have your pet blessed so that another date can be  scheduled as desired.

UPCOMING EVENTS

September/October - Gifts and  Offerings - All dollars and designated offerings today will go to provide essentials for our children in three local schools. Other offerings will assist the work of FPC in this community and beyond.

October 1 - 11:00 a.m. - Pet Blessing - Due to the rains of Hurricane Ian we will not be having a Pet Blessing on Saturday. Please speak to Tempe’ if you would like to have your pet blessed so that another date can be  scheduled as desired.​

October 2 - 8 - The Presbytery of Western NC Disaster Recovery Trip - We will stay at Canton Presbyterian Church. You may stay all week or come for a day or two. Cost for the whole week is $25 or $10/night which includes food and shelter. Applications are available online to register.

October 12 & 26 - 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.
