A simple and convenient way to show your Generosity
This fall we are asking all FPCG members and friends to consider signing up for electronic giving.
The First Presbyterian Church in Germantown relies on the financial support of the congregation and electronic giving offers an easy way to give on a recurring basis. Many in our congregation give in this way and find it very helpful.
Please contact Kathy Charlesworth at the church office for details 215-843-8811.
This Sunday, October 23 after Worship!
The annual Deacons‘ Day Brunch is a wonderful opportunity for you to spend time with the deacon assigned to your family, as well as other members and friends of the congregation.
With the help of the Congregational Development and Fellowship Committee, a delicious brunch will be served ($5.00 suggested donation).
FPCG members recently received an invitation from their deacons. Please call the church or your deacon and let us know that you will be coming - your presence will help us learn how to serve one another better as brothers and sisters in Christ.
Support FPCG’s own DeVonte Johnson (DJ), a KSB Alumni
In celebration of its tenth anniversary season, Keystone State Boychoir (KSB) is proud to host the first ever B1K!
B1K! stands for Boychoir of 1,000! History will be made when 1,000 boys come together to sing on Sunday October 30 at 3pm in Verizon Hall. The festival will include performances not only by Keystone State Boychoir but also by four of the other top boy choirs of the region as well as a special international guest choir.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the festival is the grand finale when 500 additional local singers will join the six choirs to form a choir of 1,000 singers. First Church’s own DeVonte Johnson, DJ, is now an active alumni member and will be singing.
If you are interested in finding out more information please speak to Contina Lundy, 215-512-8824 or . If 15 people or more are interested, we can get a group rate when purchasing our tickets.

WHYY and the Philadelphia Department of Public Health invite you to a forum on what the city should do about tobacco.
Hear the facts about tobacco use in the city and the policy options. Then join other citizens to decide which options you can support. Participants will split into small groups with a facilitator - your voice will be heard and your opinions considered. These forums, facilitated by the Penn Project for Civic Engagement, will be presented throughout the city and covered by WHYY-FM and WHYY‘s NewsWorks.org
Download a flyer about the forum here.
Your input is vital...laws and policies regarding tobacco use will affect all of us – do not miss this opportunity to have your voice heard.
Sharone Gaither Performs Sunday at 7pm
Few performers embody the spirit of the Bread and Cup Coffeehouse as much as Sharone Gaither, the October 2 headliner for our 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. celebration of the arts and agape feast.
Ms. Gaither is a long-time resident of Germantown who discovered her gifts as a poet when she was struggling to come to terms with personal tragedy. Thankfully, she recognized that the poetry which was so healing for her was also a source of inspiration to people of all ages from all walks of life.
She credits Bread and Cup as one of the first venues to welcome her artistic talents, and in return, she has been an enthusiastic supporter of our coffeehouse and a board member of Creative Germantown Initiative (CGI) on Bread and Cup‘s behalf.
