Join Us Thursday, Nov 17th at 7pm
The Germantown Community Connection (GCC)’s second Artists’ Roundtable will be held at FPCG this Thursday at 7:00pm. This is an opportunity for all artists who live and/or work in Germantown to network with one another and learn how they can be active participants in improving the quality of life of our community.
Matt Wysong, the Planning Commission’s official representative for the northwest, will be in attendance to share his vision of how artists of all types can be integral in the city’s plan for the neighborhood. The Artists’ Roundtable was conceived by our own Reverend Kevin Porter in conjunction with Dr. Vivia Nix-Early of the arts organization Build-A-Bridge as part of GCC’s “Classic Towns” Initiative.

FPCG is the latest community partner in the development of Vernon Park’s new rain garden initiative!
Led by the Tookany-Tacony Frankford Watershed Partnership, a consortium of community groups and institutions have joined together to design and implement a rain garden in front of Vernon Park’s Center in the Park. The water garden will do more than beautify the area, it will also demonstrate Philadelphia’s burgeoning campaign to capture rain water more efficiently and environmentally friendly than any other city of its size!
Go to ttfwatershed.org or contact Rev. Kevin for more information.

Give Me That Ol’ Time Religion might be the best title for this month’s Bread and Cup,this Sunday, November 6, from 7:00 to 9:00pm
At press time, we are expecting gospel singer Joseph Watkins as the headliner for our inter-generational and multicultural coffeehouse. If that name’s familiar, it’s because he’s performed at Bread and Cup before, most recently as one of the Gospel Stirrers—a close harmony vocal group. He’s also the brother of FPCG staff member Harry Watkins (who has more performing credits himself than most congregants know)! With enough prompting, we may be able to get Harry to join his brother for a number or two!
Reverend Kevin has a couple other surprises up his sleeve for this Bread and Cup, so plan to join us in Longstreth Auditorium for a warm evening of inspiration, fun and fellowship just when the evenings start to get cold.

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.
