A Message From First Presbyterian Church,
" We are Christ's people, and this is Christ's Church.
We open our doors wide, just as they have been opened wide to us.
If you are passing through, Godspeed.
If you are looking for a church home, welcome.
If you need instruction, learn from us as we learn from you."

UPCOMING EVENTS

March/April Dollars for Mission will aid the people in Syria and Turkey who were devastated with death and destruction from the recent earthquakes in that region. We feel that our church must help with the recovery. Our donations will be sent to the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. PDA works with trusted care agencies already involved in the recovery to support our neighbors in Christ.
​​
April 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.

​        FPC Tiny Free Library
FPC invites you to visit the tiny library in front of the church sanctuary. You are encouraged to take a book as often as you like and then pass it on to someone else when you have finished it. A variety  of topics is available (fiction and non-fiction) and the library is stocked weekly with new selections.
The library was established in memory of former member, Martha Rainer, who served the church as an elder and chair person of the Christian Education team.
