Hello First Presbyterian Church,



I hope you are continuing to experience the joy and new life that Easter brings. 


Over the next two weeks, we've got two opportunities for you to break bread with your FPCR family:


  • Monday, April 8 at 7:00 pm: Ramadan dinner with the Dallas Dialogue Institute. This will be an evening of fellowship, learning, and a delicious dinner! RSVP by clicking here.
  • Sunday, April 14, at 5:30 pm: Brainstorming Brigade and Dinner. We will have dinner together and brainstorm some concrete ways to live into our mission as a faith community in the future. This is the final step of the mission study, and your input is very important!  RSVP by clicking here.


Peace,


Rosy


P.S. - This Sunday, April 7, kicks off our Sunday school series on Christian Nationalism. The term Christian Nationalism has been in the news a lot lately. What do people mean when they use this term? Should we as Christians learn more about Christian Nationalism and it's historical and current context? How is this philosophy impacting the church today? Join us for a three week Sunday school series beginning this coming Sunday at 9:00 am in the Chapel as we learn together and discuss this topic.
