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
Welcome
No matter who you are, where you are from, where you are in your personal faith journey or past church experience, you are welcome and wanted at First Presbyterian Church.
God is good, all the time!

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
Our Youth SS program is designed to facilitate spiritual growth through Christian fellowship and the study of God’s Word. In the new year, the Youth will be continuing their survey of Paul’s letter to the Romans. Please join us at 9:30 am in the teen room for this special time to study and consider the person and work of Jesus Christ. Let us all praise God for His sacrifice in Christ and strive to live a life that glorifies Him and bears witness to His awesome love and enduring faithfulness.
SOUPER BOWL OF CARING
Please mark your calendars for February 9th. The Youth will be supporting and serving our annual Souper Bowl of Caring event to benefit the Storehouse Food Pantry. Signup sheets for the event are on the table in Ward Hall. All are encouraged to donate a pot of soup or dessert to raise funds for this worthy cause.
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.

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.
