Encountering Jesus: A Small-Group Lenten Bible Study

Over 150 FPC members and friends are currently involved in our 2010 Lenten Bible Study--Encountering Jesus. They are engaging with the lives and choices of those who knew Jesus, and then reflecting on who Jesus is for us. The fourteen groups are meeting from the weeks of February 22-March 22.

Spring Supper Series Underway

Forty-eight members of the church are currently signed up to participate in two to three small-group suppers in the homes of four gracious hosts during February and March. These potluck meals are designed to give members more opportunities to get to know one another in a comfortable setting.

For Lovers of Theatre and Discussion:

Check out the plays in Acts of Faith Drama Festival

First Presbyterian is a co-sponsor of the Acts of Faith drama festival running from January-March which features theatrical productions by 14 local theater companies--these plays have been selected to promote discussion of how faith and values shape our public and private life. FPC members are attending some of these plays as a group and will be holding discussions of them afterwards.
