What a wonderful day of service we had on Monday, January 18.
See photos from the day here!
About sixty people came to The First Presbyterian Church in Germantown to perform a variety of jobs.
There was a crew, mostly of Property Committee members, down near the Youth Lounge and Gym repairing a wall that had major water damage. Others spent time working in the Youth Lounge.
Madeline Valentine led a group of women in the kitchen who inventoried the china in the kitchen as well as cleaned the cupboards and counters.
The Worship and Music Committee and others were in the sanctuary dusting, washing and polishing. The Christian Education Committee were up in the classrooms and also in the nursery washing toys and sorting clothes.
Eileen Jones had many join her in the Crisis Ministry area.

Come join FPCG’s 20 & 30-somethings as we share a holiday dinner on Wednesday, December 16th at 5:30pm.
This is a potluck so please bring a side dish (bread, salad, dessert, drink, etc), and a candy bar for a candy exchange.
Children are welcome!! We will have a babysitter to stay in the nursery so we can enjoy conversation without needing to keep one eye on the kids. We are asking parents to bring $5 to help pay for the babysitter’s time and their dinner.
Please let Sheila Heyer-Rivera what side dish you will bring and how many kids will come with you so that we’ll know if we need more than one babysitter!
Sheila can be reached by phone 267.972.5459 or by email

Look at this picture and what do you see?
What is it that catches your attention? Is it the word “Stewardship?” Yes, it is that time of year again.
Now look beyond the word “Stewardship” at the picture. What do you see? Do your eyes draw you to the brick wall or to a cross?
For many people it is the brick wall that they see when it comes to stewardship. That wall stops them from thinking beyond their wallets. They don’t want to listen to God’s call for us to be generous Christian stewards. The brick wall prevents them from participating in the ministry of the church.
I hope you are one whose eyes and heart focus on the cross of this picture. If so, then you understand that stewardship is how we honor God and demonstrate our faith.
It is through our giving that the church is able to respond to the physical and spiritual needs of us and of others outside of our church.
It is because of the generous giving of members and friends that the Good News story of the Gospel (of which the cross is the symbol) can be proclaimed through the ministry and mission of The First Presbyterian Church in Germantown.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
FPCG has some new opportunities for the littlest ones among us… and their parents, too!
New Crib Room:
We are happy to announce that next month we will be expanding our nursery to include an adjacent crib room!
This will be a safe and quiet space for infants, nursing mothers, and children that are not quite old enough to run around in the pre-school nursery.
Baby Goods Exchange:
Did you know that The First Presbyterian Church has baby clothes, toys, and paraphernalia available for members who need or want to use them? All that is asked is that you clean and return the baby gear when you are done, and add a few baby items to those items you return.
We currently have cloths for all stages of development for babies and toddlers, primarily for boys. We are looking for cloths and baby gear for all stages for girls.
If you know anyone looking to unload some clean baby and toddler cloths and toys, or if you want to utilize the materials we do have, contact

If you are a long term First Church member you surely are acquainted with Bill.
If you have come here to worship more recently, you might not know that Bill has been a member of First Church since 1938!
He says, with some thoughtfulness, he was not quite ready for confirmation at the usual age but joined, along with Louise David, the following year.
As a young man Bill served in World War II and married.
