Changes to Wednesday Worship & Community Lunch

With the departure of the Reverend Erika Funk, who has been leading Wednesday Worship, the Worship Committee has recommended that Wednesday Worship move to a first-Wednesday schedule during the time of transition.

Communion will be offered at the first-Wednesday service, which will continue to be 12-12:30 p.m. The rest of the month, the Sanctuary will be open from 12-12:30 p.m. on Wednesdays for prayer, with a pastor and/or a church officer available to pray with members and visitors.

Lunch will no longer be served on Wednesdays.

The Worship Committee indicated this transition period offers the opportunity for reflection and prayerful discernment on creative ways to expand the FPC ministry beyond the Sanctuary and the church gates.
