Go deeper into God’s Word
Serendipity
This is a great time to join the Serendipity Bible Study which meets Sundays at 11:30 in the Jennings Room. The group is engaged in a 13-week survey of the book of Revelation.
Serendipity’s conversational format is designed to be enjoyable, informational, and inspirational for both those new to Bible study and seasoned veterans. It has grown in popularity at FPCG and is a wonderful way to get to know a broad cross section of our members and friends. Please bring your second cup of coffee with you after coffee hour and join us!
Lenten Bible Study: Gun Violence
Each year during Lent, FPCG offers a series of Adult Education opportunities intended to deepen our faith and our understanding of how our faith and public policy influence each other.
This year’s Lenten Bible study series will be an outgrowth of the Presbytery of Philadelphia’s commitment to “Heeding God’s Call”. Please see the literature table or contact Rev. Kevin Porter for more information.
