Meet at FPCG this Tuesday (5/1) at 3:00pm
Unfortunately, each day’s news brings another account of how gun violence continues to plague our city. Thankfully, FPCG is actively engaged in Neighborhood Partners to End Gun Violence (NPEG), an interfaith organization of congregations in northwest Philadelphia.
For months, NPEG has sponsored a prayer vigil in front of Delia’s Gun Shop on Torresdale Ave. in the hope that the owner of the shop would adopt a “Code of Conduct” reducing the practice of “straw purchases” (i.e. when someone who can legally purchase a gun resells it to those who cannot legally purchase firearms).
You can join Rev. Porter and others in the next vigil on Tuesday, May 1 meeting at FPCG at 3:00 PM and returning by 5:00 PM.
Contact Rev. Porter or visit http://heedinggodscall.org for more info.

Learn about FPCG’s Finances
The quarterly seminar on our church’s finances will be held next Sunday April 29 at 11:30am in the Finney Room. This will be the eighth in a continuing series prompted by requests from the 2009 Church Study. One of the study’s seven recommendations was that a great need exists for more information and knowledge about finances.
One of our goals has been to present church financial information in a manner that is both informative and understandable. Some of these techniques will continue to be used in this upcoming seminar. The intent is both to provide data (to inform) and also to show methods to analyze this data (to better understand). This should help to make us more aware of the financial aspects of our church.

Help transport people to church
Each Sunday several members and friends of First Church are transported to and from church via the church van.
At this time we need two drivers, one to drive the first Sunday of month and one for the occasional fifth Sunday. A regular driver’s license is all that is needed. Christian Heyer- Rivera provides the training needed to drive the van.
If interested please contact Rosy Walkenhorst at 267-808-2865.
