Living our faith ...
If you’d like to donate to the food pantry, rather than buying items, consider making a monetary donation. You can send a check payable to First Presbyterian Church and note under memo that it is for FirstPres Food Pantry. Or you can give online by clicking here and reference that it is for the food pantry. That way, we will be able to purchase what is needed, without putting you “in harm’s way.” Because of your generous help, recently we were able to purchase 200 bars of soap and three cases of toilet paper, which are greatly appreciated by the families.

Pause, breathe deeply and reflect ...
Dear God,

You remind us over and over in Your word that you are always with us. You tell us not to fear and you draw us close into Your presence. You’re the only place we find refuge in the storms that surround us right now Lord. You’re the only place we can find peace and strength. So we ask You for Your words of truth and power to strengthen us in our inner being and life our hearts to You. Thank You for Your goodness, thank you that you know the way we take and You have a plan. We look to you today our Lord and Savior, it’s Your face we seek. ~ Amen


“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear…”
Psalm 46:1-2
