FPCG has a great reputation for being a welcoming congregation and a caring partner in Germantown’s welfare and our current witness continues to bolster this tradition.
Freedom School is a great example of this tradition. This expansion of our Summer Day Camp, under the auspices of the new non-profit Creative Germantown Initiative (CGI), maintains our commitment to introducing community youth to Christ while also instilling in them a love of reading.
This summer, I look forward to sharing more of what we’re doing to care for each other and the community in Christ’s name, including describing the “alphabet soup” of organizations and initiatives in which we’re involved such as Creative Germantown Initiative (CGI) , Germantown Clergy Initiative (GCI) , Germantown Community Connection (GCC) and Germantown High School (GHS)!
Rest assured, even as we move into summer and Reverend Nancy settles into her sabbatical, FPCG remains Alive, Celebrating, and Serving the Living Lord!

Meet Nancy Smith and Winnie Fahs. If you don’t already know them, you are missing out!
On nearly every Sunday morning, these two members, who have been affiliated with the church for 60 years, often sit in the same pew on the west side of the sanctuary. Both joined First Church in 1950, and both were interviewed some time ago by Elizabeth Cameron and Marlene Young.

FPCG Member Spotlight
If you are a long time member of First Church you will remember seeing DJ as a small child walking into church holding the hand of his godmother, Contina Lundy.
DJ lives with his mother, Terry, across the street from the Lundy’s. He tells me they are his second family.
Now we see DJ as a young man of 17 years, enjoying his life and making plans for his future. We will always know him by his warm and engaging smile.
DJ attends Sunday School and is active in the youth group and is also a 7 year member of the FPCG drill team and drum corps that is now known as Germantown Exclusive. He plays the snare drum and has taught this skill to others.

The Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) Freedom School is a child centered program that focuses on children’s ability to make a difference. It motivates children to excel, strengthens children’s feelings of self worth and lets children know that they are loved and valued by caring adults and it is coming to Germantown.
Replacing the 20+ years of Summer Day Camp, we are proud to launch this new program that will operate seven weeks June 28 through August 13, 2010!
Our summer program will enable participants to experience over eighty hours of focused activities around reading and comprehension and collect six books for their personal library.
