Stewardship and Consecration Sunday at FPC

Posted on Nov 7, 2018 by Torin Holmes in News |

In November, we focus our attention on financial stewardship. We ask the church family to consider making a plan to support the mission and ministry of FPC in 2019 by filling out a pledge card. You should have received a letter explaining the process and a pledge card in the mail this past week. If not, please pick one up here or contact the church office. We are encouraging everyone to turn in a card at the end of the worship service on Consecration Sunday, Nov. 18. After the service, we will enjoy a celebration breakfast and a time of fellowship focused on God’s faithfulness to us.

On Reformation Sunday (Oct. 28), FPC’s Lindsey Bells (under the direction of Daniel Heath) presented Joel Raney’s magnificent arrangement of Martin Luther’s hymn, “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” one of the songs in the FPC Canon. The Lindsey Bells were joined by brass, piano, pipe organ, and FPC’s Chancel Choir (under the direction of Minister of Worship Dr. Daniel Perrin). If you missed this past Sunday (or if you want to experience the song again!), you can now watch the presentation on YouTube thanks to FPC member Chip Van Gilder.
