Tell us how YOUR life is impacting others
Fifty days after Easter on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended upon Christ’s followers and the Church was born as they spread the gospel!
In celebration here at FPCG, in the weeks following Pentecost this year, we want to highlight the ways the gospel is being spread through our members in their lives outside of the church.
If you would be interested in giving a 30 minute presentation about your sense of vocation whether it be through your job or a volunteer or service activity in which you’re involved, please contact Rev. Kevin Porter at 215-843-8811.

One of the joys of Christian service is the realization that the more we feed, the more we are fed.
This was especially true when Heidi Mercado Littles, Ann Reisse and the Reverend Kevin Porter made a pastoral visit to Caroline Klein.
Ms. Klein is a longtime FPCG member who has been living in a nursing facility in Yardley. As someone used to giving to others, it has been a challenge for her to be receiving so much care.
However, she shared how she had transformed her walks around the facility from a means of therapy for her to a ministry for others. Every day, she sits several of her singing teddy bears in her wheelchair. Together, they make the rounds, visiting bed bound residents and bringing cheer to their day.
Kevin, Ann and Heidi went with the intention of supporting her as she adjusts to her living situation by bringing her communion. They left inspired by her spirit.
Next time you are in church, look for a picture of Ms. Klein and her bears on the bulletin board outside the Finney Room. May it inspire us all in the midst of our trials to look for how our situation can be used by God to bear Christ’s witness to others.

No, this is not a spread for your toast or bagel! Poetry Jam is a new feature in our monthly Windows church newsletter!
Do you like to write? Are you a poet? Will you share your verse with us, your church family?
If so, please send your submission to the attention of Sally Vaughn in the church office or you may bring it to church and drop in the mail slot with a notation to Sally. We look forward to reading your work!
In case you missed it last month, here is the delightful and spiritual poem written by young Kai Burton, a member of our middle school Youth Group and Sunday School:
What am I
I am a rare dog with spots
Also with a patch on my right eye and left ear.
I am the snuggle in my special stuffed animal George.
I am the film in my camera,
Not to mention the brightest flash of all.
I put the spin in my CD.
I give reason to the fashion tips,
In the pages of magazines.
I am the paint, the canvas, the brush and the pallet.
I am the reason for the autumn winds and the colorful leaves.
I am the warm ocean city waves,
And the most amazing funnel cake.
I am the amazing smells that fill the city of Philadelphia.
I am Kai Burton.

Carl Dambman, whose missionary work has been supported by FPCG for many years, is at the Olympics in Vancouver.
Carl writes in his blog, Saturday morning in Vancouver. The past couple of days have been filled with divine appointments and great opportunities to share the Olympic spirit with the millions here from around the world. My role as official chaplain in the Vancouver Olympic Village is primarily to serve the athletes and officials who come to the Multi Faith Centre which is located in the center of the village....This is my fourth Winter Olympics as an official chaplain, so it is a place of many reunions as I see athletes who are now coaches and Olympic Team Leaders whom I know from the past games. I have many friends from Belarus, Kazakhstan, USA, Canada and Russia here. Please pray that I will be an encouragement to them as they serve their teams and compete.
We invite you to visit Carl’s blog. It has great information that you don’t see in the mainstream media: http://carlaia.blogspot.com
If you would like to support Carl’s ministry with Campus Crusades, you can give during our challenge offering in April. is scheduled to support.
