Cheer on the Team Monday (1/30) 6:45pm at Germantown Friends School
By Valient Colomon
What more can I say about The First Presbyterian Church in Germantown Disciples’ Basketball team? The history of this team and I go way back. I remember when Chris first asked Christian about starting his own basketball team here at the church. It was the year of 2005. Chris, Christian and I were standing by the gym steps between the Jennings and Finney Room. Chris talked about his idea to make a team and Christian liked the idea. He said we’ll see what we can do and if we are able to find players. Of course that was not a problem.
Our record during the first league was not the best, but it sure was not as bad as it could have been. We had put that season all behind us. With the help of some new players, we went undefeated during the next season and competed in the championship game.

Dear Friends,
Who knows what this next year will bring to each of us individually, to our families, our community, our nation, our world, our church.
Last January we could not have imagined what would transpire in 2011. Did you have any idea that over these last 12 months we would endure the senseless act of an assailant opening fire outside a grocery store in Arizona, killing six people and wounding 13 others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords? Did you have any idea that in countries around the world there would be protests and demonstrations leading to transitions in governance, and in our own country people camping out and “occupying” some of our major cities?

Join a 365 Prayer Challenge and lift up First Pres
By Contina Lundy
We come from a rich history of believers, and we are still going strong. Join me for the next 365 days, starting December 1st to lift up the name of First Church. We will cover the building, the staff, the members, friends and our budget in prayer.
But first, a little background. Sometime ago I joined First Church, I won’t share the date because doing that will share my age! Anyway, I remember sharing my statement of faith and how important my prayer life was to me. Prayer was something that I didn’t ever question because of the strong foundation my parents, Mary and Frank Lundy, set for me. I understood at a young age that when you pray and believe God for who He is, great and wonderful things can occur.
