If you are an artist of any genre who lives and/or works in Germantown, you are invited to the next Germantown Artists Roundtable here at FPCG, Thursday, May 17 at 7:00 PM.
We’re building an inventory of individuals, venues, and art treasures in our community. We’re also constructing a calendar of existing arts events while brainstorming and planning new ones.

FPCG’s “Best Kept Secret”
After the hustle and bustle of worship and coffee hour on Sunday mornings, most people head home. But did you know that at 11:30am some pretty amazing gatherings take place?
In the Jennings Room, a diverse group led by Rev. Kevin gathers for an Adult Bible Study. This is a unique opportunity to connect with people in a deep and meaningful way. Last Sunday we focused on the scripture from worship and really deepened our understanding of what God’s love means and how it impacts our everyday lives. Childcare is provided!
Downstairs in the Youth Lounge, youth in 5-12th grade gather with Christian Heyer-Rivera for a Junior and Senior High Bible Study. We focus on God’s Word and how it relates to our lives as Christians, study tenants of our Presbyterian faith, and wrestle with issues that weigh heavy on our youth.
We encourage you to make space in your Sunday for bible study. You won’t be disappointed!

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.

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.
