Plans are underway to develop a three-on-three summer league as well as a five-on-five scrimmages with local teams.

Wendy played basketball in college and is looking forward to sharing her experience and love of the game.

We need YOU at McMichael Park Flea Market this Saturday, June 19
Come volunteer at the FPCG table this Saturday where we will hand out flyers and information about First Pres.
We need more folks to hand out those wonderful green balloons with our logo on them. We need even more folks to just “hang out,” showing the diversity of our congregation. Under a shaded canopy or walking among the crowds, you can answer questions about First Presbyterian and our outreach and mission.
If you can help, please come to the park and find us. We are on McMichael Street and our location has been designated as “COM3." For more information or to volunteer, please contact Faith Wolford or Sam Whyte.
