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.

Sunday morning is an important day for our youngest members at FPCG. We invite you to come up and see for yourself the wonderful ministry that is happening upstairs. In the meantime, check out our Sunday School photo gallery to see photos of our kids and volunteers in cation.
Nursery Our children in the nursery have been a consistent and active group of learners. Song, crafts, and faith sharing lessons have filled the room. A special thank you to all the parents who continue to serve as teachers to the youngest members 
of our church family and Sheila Heyer-Rivera for coordinating the calendar for teachers there!
Elementary This year has seen an ever-increasing number of children make their way week after week to the classroom. The energy and faith of the children have served to simultaneously test the limits of patience and
provide much encouragement to teachers Deborah Thompson and Sheila Heyer-Rivera.

What a winter we have had! And it is not over yet; it looks like more difficult weather is headed our way this week.
Sometimes it is necessary to cancel our worship service. Such a decision is made at the last minute and in case of such an emergency, we will have the cancellation announced on KYW Radio (1060 AM) and local television stations.
During the week if the Philadelphia Public Schools are closed due to inclement weather the church will also be closed.
Always use your best judgment about venturing out in bad weather.
