Save the date for our annual community Shrove Tuesday Parade! All are welcome to celebrate in a healthy and safe manner on Tuesday, February 16th as our congregation partners with St. Peter's Episcopal Church in this fun tradition. A pancake supper will not be possible this year but there will still be plenty of fun for our whole community! The parade will begin and end from the front lawn at FPC and include a special communal liturgy to prepare for the arrival of Lent. More information will be shared closer to the event for all interested in participating.

As our church family continues ministering during this season of social isolation, please continue to remember your faithful giving to our church. The ministry of FPC continues to make an impact within our congregation and throughout our community. Bible studies and various small group meetings continue online to enrich our lives through the sharing of scripture; local missional activities continue to care for others like More Than A Meal and Love Packs; partners in mission, like Interfaith Compassion, the pantry, Doors of Hope and more, continue their important work as well and we help make that possible.
There are a variety of ways you can give:
If you need help with any specific ways to give, please contact Frances Saralvarez at [email protected].
