Thursday Update
June 24, 2021
On Monday night, the session voted to move into the next phase towards returning to our previous worship style. 

Beginning this Sunday, masks are optional for all who attend worship and Sunday School. We are also officially doing away with social distancing as a requirement. We will also continue to have individual servings for communion and the use of our offerings boxes.

We ask you to demonstrate the same judgment and commitment to your health and the health of others that you have shown over the past year and a half. At this time, we are not yet inviting the congregation to sing in the sanctuary but we hope to have volunteers who are willing to sing in the choir loft very soon.

We appreciate everyone who has been journeying with us as we found our way, and we are looking forward to the full experience of worship soon.

We have placed two boxes for Tithes and Offerings in the sanctuary each Sunday if you would like to submit your offering before or after our weekly services. If you would still prefer to drop it by the church office, submit it online or mail it in, we appreciate your continued support of our ministry through this church.

Please note that we do Communion on the first Sunday of each month and Nickel-a-Meal on the second Sunday of each month.
A note from

Let Us Pray for . . .

On April 29th, we began the process of using our prayer list to prioritize recent additions. This may mean several of the names that appear on the list this week may not be found on next week's list. We encourage you to write down this list in your place of prayer and add to it as new names are added each week. We will be sure to keep people on the list for at least a few weeks so that if people miss a week or two, they will still be able to pray for those in need. Thank you.

As you are aware, there are many needs in our county, state, country & world. As you find yourself concerned, we ask for you to redirect those thoughts and feelings to God through prayer. For naturally caused and human-made suffering, we challenge you to lift up those directly affected and those who seek to care for them. - The FPC Prayer Team
