Preschool and Kindergarten
Dear Church Members, Just wanted everyone to know our Preschool and Kindergarten Ministry has begun its 58th year with a high enrollment on 78 students up from 68 last year. Jennifer Coulter has begun her 25th year as director and has a staff of 12 teachers. This is a self-supporting outreach ministry of First Presbyterian Church. It provides quality and affordable education and childcare in our community while in a Christian environment. Please keep Jennifer, her staff, and the young students in your prayers this school year.
In Christian Love, Fred Peyton

Pastor Tim
Wonderful Wednesday
Wednesday night fellowship will be resuming in January 8, 2025 and we encourage Youth attendance for this sweet time of fellowship and Bible study.
FPC Youth
January is always an apt time to reflect on the past year and plan for the year to come. Is God calling you to serve in His Kingdom through youth ministry? What are your spiritual gifts and how is God calling you serve him and others with your time, talents, and treasure? During this season, we would ask that all youth and their parents prayerfully consider how you will serve our King in 2025. If you have any questions about opportunities for service feel free to reach out to Pastor Tim or a member of the Youth Ministry Team.
YOUTH SUNDAY SCHOOL IS OFF AND RUNNING!! Jason and Emily Mooney are
leading an exciting study of Paul’s Letter to the Romans that is specifically geared toward
youth and the application of God’s Holy Word to their lives. Attendance has been great
thus far, and it is our prayer that all parents would avail your youth of this wonderful
opportunity to engage in the corporate study of God’s Word and a sweet time of
fellowship with their peers.
Children's Ministry News
Sunday School
Regular Sunday School classes started August 25. We had a wonderful time visiting in fellowship with our children at our Donut Party that morning. We are learning about Paul’s missionary trips using The Gospel Project Curriculum. Paul’s ministry gives us strength and confidence to continue the mission of sharing the gospel and making disciples.
-2nd–6th Graders meet upstairs in the Joyful Noise Room (204) with Betty Kamman, Dennis Coulter, and Laura Montgomery
Adult Sunday School
“Worship in the Covenant Community” is a class that will utilize the David C. Cook Curriculum and will survey how this theme tracks through the Books of Genesis, Exodus, 2 Samuel, 1&2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Isaiah, Psalms and John. This class will also enjoy a sweet time of fellowship and intercessory prayer. The class will be led by Ann Sherard, Anne Gee, Laura Kay Peyton, Beth Hall, and Pam Gee and will meet in Room 105.
“The Book of Acts” This class will establish and encourage Christians in their walk of faith through a study of the Book of Acts. The weekly lessons will follow the Warren Wiersbe Study Series “Be Dynamic.” The class will be led by Jim Chaney and Greg Ruff and will meet in Room 217.
“Bible in Life” is a class that will utilize the David C. Cook series to study God’s Holy Word and seek to understand its eternal truth and applicability in the lives of “older” adults. This class meets in Room 219. This class will be led by Marilyn Corley and others.
“The Last Days According to Jesus” Speculation and theories abound about what the last days have in store for us. But what did Jesus believe and teach about the end times and the timing of His return? Through a compelling video series, Dr. R.C. Sproul will point believers back to the words of Christ, offering them a solid footing amid ever-shifting opinion about the age to come. This class will be led by Will Montgomery and will meet in the church conference room.
“The Great Commission” This class will consider the significant impact and implications of the Great Commission on the life of the believer including what it means to be a disciple of Christ, the cost of discipleship, the command to be a disciple maker, and how these privileges and responsibilities are carried out daily by and through our love of the Lord Jesus Christ and our love of neighbor. This class will be led by Kelle Barfield and Sarah Johnson and will meet in Room 218.
Crorey Lawton will lead a class in Room 215. The curriculum will be announced at a later date. For more information, please refer to the weekly updates or a bulletin insert as August 25th approaches.
