Sunday Worship to Mark 100th Anniversary of End of World War I

Posted on Nov 9, 2018 by admin in Music, News |

Nov '18

Did you know that this Sunday marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War? In addition to celebrating the sacrament of Holy Communion, we will be marking the day with special music and songs as we pray for peace and remember the many people who have died in wars over the past century. Join us for a powerful service this Sunday at 10:30 am that will include trumpeter Jared Hall, an introit by our Chancel Choir, the singing of the hymn, “Eternal Father, Strong to Save,” and the performance of the “Armed Forces Anthem.” The last piece was co-written by FPC Minister of Worship Dr. Daniel Perrin and Carl Munson and will be sung by FPC member Michael Marano, a U.S. Army Captain. Additionally, Sunday’s organ postlude will be “Epilogue on the Old 100th,” a meditation on the Doxology composed by Ernest Farrar, a British Christian composer who died during a battle in France during World War I. You won’t want to miss this powerful service!

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

Nov '18

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.
