We had a wonderful Advent this year! Check out some of these highlights from the Christmas Pageant, petting zoo, and the Advent workshop!

For over 30 years, the Souper Bowl of Caring movement has been inspiring people across the nation to tackle hunger in their local communities. Please bring canned goods or make a monetary donation. Proceeds will go to the Community Food Pantry. Checks may be made out to First Presbyterian Church, memo-Souper Bowl.

Youth and children will help collect donations on Feb. 11 after church. We will also go to the Food Pantry at 2 pm to help sort donated items.

We now have FPC Kids Ushers!

On the first Sunday of each month, two children ushers will assist with ushering before worship!

K-1st grade: Parents are present for the supervision of their child at all times. 

2nd grade and up: parents do not need to be present. 

Talk to Erin if you have any questions!

We have “Children in Worship” guiding brochure available at the button below! This brochure is intended to serve as an aid to parents and other members of our congregation in welcoming our children to worship.

​A nursery is available on the lower level of the church for newborns through 1st grade children. We do hope children will worship with us in the sanctuary! Wiggles and Giggles are so very welcome! 

Our nursery is a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for our youngest disciples. 

Thank you to our rotation of Sunday School teachers and Nursery Workers who make it possible for FPC to have such a thriving atmosphere for children!
