Audrey Hepburn got to have breakfast at only one Tiffany’s. How would you like to have breakfast with several?
You can!
Join us on Saturday, February 21 at 9:30am,when we will host A Breakfast With Tiffanies.
We won’t be celebrating the jewelry store, but rather the magnificent stained-glass Tiffany windows that decorate our church, especially the stunning Tiffany Rose Window that graces the front facade.
There will be a cost of $10 for the experience, which includes a breakfast and presentation by Mezalick Studios.
A Breakfast With Tiffanies is part of our year-long celebration of the 200th Anniversary of First Presbyterian Church in Germantown.
The presentation by Mezalick Studios will be followed by a Continental breakfast in the Longstreth Auditorium, which is home to another lovely stained-glass window.

So much has happened since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 2005, it is easy to forget that homes and lives are still in the process of being rebuilt. Once again, you have an opportunity to let the residents of the small town of Pearlington, MS know that they have not been forgotten as FPCG sponsors a mission trip there this Holy Week (April 4-10).
This year it is our hope that participants can fly to New Orleans and drive the hour to Pearlington as opposed to making the 21 hour drive from Philadelphia. However, in order to make this feasible, we will need to know during February if you would like to join Rev. Kevin Porter and Christian Heyer Rivera on the trip so that we can nail down travel arrangements. Read More
