BETTY ELDER BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLIES PROJECT———————we are once again gathering school supplies for the whole county community in this school supplies project that Betty Elder and Anne McCrady head up each year. What a great way to help our school children…..talk about a mission !!! There are lists at various stores around town, but basically……….subject notebooks, folders, crayons, glue, rulers, backpacks, pencils, pens, etc.

There are two back to school boxes in our church narthex so you can place your gathered supplies in. These boxes will be out until the deadline date of August 21. On Thursday, August 21, your outreach team will be responsible for taking all our gathered supplies to the Civic Center where they will all be distributed to our needy children on Friday, August 22. So please have your supplies to our church by the morning of August 21. Thanks !!

FRIENDSHIP SUNDAY IS SUNDAY, AUGUST 10…………… We are encouraging each and every member to invite a person or persons to come and worship with us. They can be churched or unchurched………a neighbor in your residential neighborhood, a co-worker or former co-worker, a relative from out of town, a person(s) you just met, your college roommate, your best friend other than a FPC church member, etc…..As you can see, we want to gather a mass of people in our sanctuary to simply worship God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit…..together. That’s it. They will not be asked any questions in worship………….we will all simply worship together!

Then after worship, ALL are invited to the fellowship hall for a fellowship luncheon to honor our guests. Again, they will not be put on the spot about anything. We are asking ALL members to bring a dish of your choosing………main dishes, vegetable dishes, salad dishes, breads, desserts………just like we always do. Your outreach team will be bringing extra dishes in each category to help fill everyone up !
