Join Us Thursday, Nov 17th at 7pm
The Germantown Community Connection (GCC)’s second Artists’ Roundtable will be held at FPCG this Thursday at 7:00pm. This is an opportunity for all artists who live and/or work in Germantown to network with one another and learn how they can be active participants in improving the quality of life of our community.
Matt Wysong, the Planning Commission’s official representative for the northwest, will be in attendance to share his vision of how artists of all types can be integral in the city’s plan for the neighborhood. The Artists’ Roundtable was conceived by our own Reverend Kevin Porter in conjunction with Dr. Vivia Nix-Early of the arts organization Build-A-Bridge as part of GCC’s “Classic Towns” Initiative.

Give Me That Ol’ Time Religion might be the best title for this month’s Bread and Cup,this Sunday, November 6, from 7:00 to 9:00pm
At press time, we are expecting gospel singer Joseph Watkins as the headliner for our inter-generational and multicultural coffeehouse. If that name’s familiar, it’s because he’s performed at Bread and Cup before, most recently as one of the Gospel Stirrers—a close harmony vocal group. He’s also the brother of FPCG staff member Harry Watkins (who has more performing credits himself than most congregants know)! With enough prompting, we may be able to get Harry to join his brother for a number or two!
Reverend Kevin has a couple other surprises up his sleeve for this Bread and Cup, so plan to join us in Longstreth Auditorium for a warm evening of inspiration, fun and fellowship just when the evenings start to get cold.

We were blessed on Sunday to be led in worship by FPCG’s newest choir!
This diverse ensemble not only reflects our cultural and age diversity, but is helping our congregation experience diverse ways of worshiping the Lord. Keeping Christ at the center, this new group is committed to exploring new and fresh ways of leading us into God’s presence.
Gospel music is written to express a personal, spiritual, or communal belief regarding Christian life. The themes of Gospel music center around praise, worship, and giving thanks to God, Christ, and the Holly Spirit.
Interested? If you love to worship and are able to rehearse on Sunday’s after church, we would love to have you join us! Please contact Donna Payne (215-450-7963) or Joanne Elliott (215-725-0420) for more information.
