Policy reminder: Occasionally it is good to remind the congregation of church policies that impact us all and need to be followed for good order. One such concerns any action, publication, promotion which is officially sponsored by FPC or might appear to be. Meetings of church groups, study materials for Sunday School, youth groups, women’s groups, etc. must all receive Session approval. Gifts to the church, while well-intended, need to be received by Session to be sure that they are consistent with our beliefs, goals, etc. Also included in this would be individuals who may want to post something about a non-church activity, pass out brochures promoting something or petitions to be signed which might be placed on tables or circulated in person. No matter how innocent it is, or may seem, we urge you to run these things by Session. Remember, please request permission first. Your help in this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The Lord’s Supper will be celebrated during the morning worship service March 4th. Please prepare your hearts and minds to approach the Lord’s table.
