New Wednesday Night Study
Fellowship Hall
led by Rev. Schwartz
Do you ever stop to imagine what heaven is going to be like? If you are like me, you probably do not think about heaven as much as you should. But in this upcoming Wednesday night series, we will take some time to exercise our biblical imaginations on heaven-and ultimately the new heaven and the new earth-and consider not only how amazing it will be and all the things we will do there, but also how our hope for the future will significantly impact our perspective, our attitudes, and our actions in this life today. Join Rev. Schwartz, your humble and excited tour guide, on this journey beginning Wednesday, February 14

in the Prayer Chapel
Starting Wednesday, February 14, a new Bible Study will be offered for ladies who have been touched by miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. The group will use the following curriculum: Anchored: A Bible Study for Miscarriage, Stillbirth, & Infant Loss by Erin Cushman. The 9 lessons encourage the participants to marinate on the Word of God and reflect upon God's character...anchoring the reader in the firm foundation of the love and care of our Sovereign God. Phyllis Pemerton, of the Adult Discipleship Ministry Team, provided the following review of this study, "I am impressed with this content as a Christian woman and as a nurse who has had experience with grieving moms. I believe the Lord will use this in a very powerful way." To register for this Bible Study, please contact Iwona Brownrigg at iwonaluci@yahoo.com or 678-901-7256. If you would be willing to pray specifically for the ladies going through this study, please contact Paula Newman at bebenew50@yahoo.com.

OUR LOGO
A Graphic Image To Reflect Our Identity
THE CROSS IS CENTRAL
First Presbyterian Church has a foundational legacy of being a Christ-centered church focusing on knowing Jesus Christ and making him known. The Cross is the graphic reminder that we preach Jesus Christ and him crucified.
This graphic touch point reinforces our mission as a church. The Cross is bold and central in the image, just as its message must be bold and central to all that we are and do.
The Cross is formed by four arrows pointing to its center, depicting the
core value of Christ-centered, life-transforming worship and teaching at FPC Rome, and the source of our unity as a community of faith, supported by the four key emphases of our Mission Statement:
- To live together in authentic and loving fellowship
- To make and mobilize disciples
- To share the Gospel in word and action locally and around the world
- To serve sacrificially the community in which God has placed us
The arrows are open on all sides forming paths to the Cross that we hope our key emphases will build, and they are of different colors representing the diverse journeys our people walk to converge as one in the shadow of the Cross.
THE ARCHED WINDOW IS DISTINCTIVE
The Cross is surrounded by an outline of an arched, stained glass window. This is a distinctive architectural feature of both our historic Sanctuary, as well as being intentionally carried over into our Christian Life Center, unifying the older and newer portions of our buildings. The arched window profile is an acknowledgment of our rich history and iconic building design, as well as a reminder of our strong historical connection to the community of Rome.
