Weekly Updates 11.21.2025

Sunday

  • Join us at 10:30am for worship in the Sanctuary! Our scripture this week is Matthew 10:5-8 as we explore our final Step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

  • The Friends In Deed food pantry item this week is buyer’s choice.

Friends In Deed Gift Drive

We are excited to partner once again with Friends In Deed for their annual Christmas for the Kids gift drive. At service this Sunday, November 23rd, you can pick up a child's name and gift information. Unwrapped gifts should be dropped off at the church no later than Sunday, December 14th, and they should include the child's name and family number. Email the office to arrange a time to stop by, or bring the gifts to worship and drop off at the Connections Desk. Email Shawn with any questions.

Gratitude Night

You’re invited to Gratitude Night on Sunday, November 23rd, at 6pm in the Gym. This is a special time for potluck and fellowship, where we reflect on God’s goodness throughout the year. Based on your last name, as you’re able, please bring a side or salad (A-H), a dessert (I-M), or main dish (N-Z) of about 10 servings to share with your FBCP friends and family. We hope you join us for a pre-Thanksgiving feast!

Hanging of the Greens

Join us for our annual Hanging of the Greens on Sunday, November 30th, after worship! We would love your help to decorate the Sanctuary for Christmas—everything from unwrapping candles to setting up trees in our baptismal. We’ll have lunch first before turning up the Christmas music and getting to work.

Monday Study

Join Pastors John Jay and Riley for a discussion on the upcoming sermon text and theme. We gather in the Parlor from 12pm-1pm each Monday for a wild time of interpretation, imagination, theological training, storytelling, and general merriment. No prep is required, and you are welcome to bring your lunch and munch during this hour. Bring a printed Bible if you have one (we have extras), a pen and notebook, and all the curiosity you can muster. Can't wait to study together! Email Pastor John Jay with questions.
