FPCG Continues to Host Forum for Community Artists
The monthly artist roundtables host about 50 participants from a wide range of arts-related vocations and organizations who brainstormed a wealth of ideas regarding how working together can improve the quality of life for them and the community.
At January’s meeting, we prioritized the ideas which have been generated, gathering additional ones, and beginning to develop action plans to implement them. It is not too late to get in on the ground floor of this exciting initiative. If you would like to learn more, either contact Rev. Porter (one of the co-moderators of the event), or go to .
You can also read a recap of the previous roundtables on www.newsworks.org by putting “arts roundtable” in their search engine.

The Bread and Cup Coffeehouse kicks off 2012 on Sunday, January 8 with a karaoke night from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in Longstreth Auditorium.
You are invited to take your turn at the microphone in front of the friendliest audience in town either to sing a song (accompanied by professional studio arrangements) or to offer a poem, joke, or short story during our time of open microphone. Or, if you prefer, just come to cheer on the others and be surprised at the depth of singing talent we have in our congregation and community.

Getting your finances in order before the year-end
By Jim Thompson
This is the last month of 2011, and there are several things you should consider before the year ends:
+ Pay your pledge in full for 2011 this month.This benefits both our church and the you – especially if you itemize deductions for your federal income tax.
+ Pay some of your 2012 pledge this year. Once again this benefits you if you itemize deductions on your federal income tax. The church will ensure that your payment is credited toward your 2012 pledge.
+ If you had a windfall this year and would like to contribute part of it to our church, pick any effort that you would like to support- for example the Third Century Fund, The General Purpose Endowment Fund (also known as A Piece of the Rock), or any other program of the church.
+ Lastly, as of now, the IRA direct transfer option will end in 2011.
