We are collecting travel sized hygiene items (such as shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and deodorant) for one of our mission projects. Please drop off your donations at the church office by Wednesday, July 19. Thank you for your help!
Habitat Workday Rescheduled
Due to unforeseen issues with the survey of the lot, our Habitat workday originally scheduled Saturday, July 29th has been postponed until  sometime in August. 
Montreat Meal Sign Up
If you signed up to donate a meal for the Montreat High School Conference (July 23-29), by taking a meal card following worship on July 9th, please contact Rachel Vogado as soon as possible to let her know what you are planning to make. 
Lunch Bunch
Lunch Bunch invites you to join us for lunch out on the town!  We will be meeting at the Copper Ale House located at 1044 Copperfield Blvd, Suite 101 on Thursday, July 27th at 11:30 a.m. to catch up with each other and learn about the exciting fall lineup for Lunch Bunch.  Please call the church office if you plan to attend or you can sign up online, so we can reserve space. For information, contact Lynne Keel.
Middle School Mission Opportunity
Is your youth looking for some summer service opportunities?! Sign up to help deliver meals for Cabarrus Meals on Wheels. Two adults from the church will take 2 youth with them to deliver meals. We will meet in the upper parking lot by the Fellowship House at 10:10 am. Youth will be dropped off at their home afterwards, around noon. Youth and adult volunteers can sign up here. If you have questions, contact Sallie Dotger or Rachel Vogado.

  If you would like to learn more - contact Rachel Vogado, any member of the Christian Education Committee, or one of the 2016-2017 teachers.  We'd be happy to tell you more about the joys and growing opportunities of teaching Sunday School at First Presbyterian Church!
