Hello First Presbyterian Church,
Thank you to the Sanctuary Choir and the Ruth Greer Handbell Choir for your leadership in worship this past Sunday as we kicked off our stewardship campaign. Be on the lookout for a letter and pledge card in your mailbox in the next few days.
This Sunday, we'll explore what it means to be rooted in Christ through the story of Zacchaeus. We'll also celebrate Reformation Sunday and remember our heritage in the reformed tradition. Curious to learn more about the reformed tradition? Check out this resource from the General Assembly Mission Council: https://www.pcusa.org/site_media/media/uploads/youngwomen/pdfs/nnpcw_reformedtradition.pdf
See you Sunday!
Peace,
Rosy

Network's Educator's Pantry is running low on snacks for students, and we need your help to refill it! We want to make sure that every student has access to brain food and no one has to struggle in class because they're hungry. You can make a difference by helping to keep this program stocked!
If you'd like to help a student in need, you can donate snacks at 1500 International Parkway, or donate via our Educators' Pantry Amazon wish list at https://amzn.to/3bWOzbv. We will also accept donations during worship on Sunday!
