Deacon Doings

 

Help, Help, Help!

The Deacons need help replenishing their Financial Help Fund. By participating in the Cares Program sponsored by City Market, you are earning money for this fund. Please sign up for this program in Westminster Hall after worship. All we need is your City Market Value Card number, or your application (we have those) to receive one.

 

Senior/Shut In Visits and Communion

Each month Pastor Dale and a deacon visit seniors and shut ins to provide fellowship and offer Communion. Do you know of someone who would appreciate a visit? If so, please contact Pastor Dale or one of the deacons. .
  
Announcements
Report from the Pastor Nominating Committee

The PNC has been meeting weekly since January 1st. We are in the process of editing our newly written Mission Study. After coordinating with each Team, we will produce the final draft. It will then be sent to Session for approval. The finished study will then be sent to the Presbytery Committee on Ministry. We have been making good progress with the steps needed for our search to start in earnest.

 
Dear FPC Congregation,


I am saddened to let you all know Cindy Donelan will be leaving the position of nursery attendant. Her last day will be February 12. She has done an excellent job, but needs to have more time to care for herself and her family.
Please pray that we can find someone else to care for the children.  If you feel called to fill in one Sunday during this time of transition, please let Kristin or Marie Davidson know. Your prayers and time are greatly appreciated!
Kristin
