Thoughts and Themes

Dear Presbyterian Church Family, I would like to officially announce the re-launch of the church’s library. It has been organized in categories from History, Commentary, and Theology to Daily Devotionals and Prayers. We have a wide variety of books for every level of interest. One of my latest finds is a book of daily reflections: "Day by Day with the Early Church Fathers" by Christopher Hudson. It contains short, insightful readings for every day of the year. I have enjoyed

The first three lessons in the teaching literature I use in Children's Worship are based on the 23rd Psalm and the Good Shepherd from John 10. The kids enjoy reenacting the lessons using the wooden figures, rocks and a plastic wolf but I wanted them to have a deeper understanding of the 23rd Psalm.

We will take our usual places in the choir loft on the first Sunday of each month for Communion Sunday. B

Hello, friends, Last September, some scammers were spoofing my email address. You can read details here: https://www.fpcpvok.com/post/scammers-spoofing-chas. A similar attack is currently happening. There is nothing to panic about. This is not me. My email account has not been hacked. The scammers simply registered a new email account that is similar, but subtly different from mine. The scammers' email, in one instance, had an 'L' after my name (chasgowingL) and before

Lent is the time for reflection, sacrifice and charitable work. The FPC Singers give of their time to create beautiful musical settings for each season. For the upcoming Lenten season we have a variety of anthems and soloists that will move your soul. We have some special music for the Good Friday service that we are hosting and also for Easter Sunday. If you would like to share in our gift of music, please join us Wednesday evenings 5:30 to 6:30 for music rehearsals or just
