New year, new Bible study! Join us every Monday evening as we work through "The Gospel in Life: Grace Changes Everything" by Timothy Keller. This 8-week study focuses on the gospel and how it is lived out in all of life--first in your heart, then in your community, and then out into the world. Please contact Tim Norton for details. 

We have 8 spots unfilled for this week. We need you! Sign up for a volunteer slot at the Overflow Shelter! Sign up   here.

Matthew, Katherine, Kendra, Rick, Michael, and I (The Egypt Discernment Team) have recently met to continue debriefing the trip. Our main focus right now is synthesizing all that we learned and experienced on the trip into a succinct presentation that will frame the potential partnership and guide our discernment. Our plan is to offer this initial presentation to the staff, session, and congregation in the coming months. Stay tuned for the details. In the meantime, The Outreach Foundation has created a helpful summary of the trip for all of the churches considering a partnership in Egypt. Please read the Outreach Foundation summary crafted by Marilyn Borst, our trip leader- click here .

(Note: there is a financial ask attached to this Outreach Foundation summary that represents a financial need for the country as a whole. This is not an amount that First Presbyterian has been asked to give.) We look forward to sharing all that God is doing in Egypt!
