Quarterly seminar - 1/30 at 11:30am in the Finney room
This week’s financial seminar will be the fourth in a continuing series that was prompted by requests from the 2009 Church Study. One of the seven recommendations was that a great need exists for more information and knowledge about finances.
The prior seminars provided a foundation for understanding how our resources are managed as well as where they come from and where they are expended.
This seminar will focus on the financial results for 2010 and the financial outlook and challenges in 2011.

Celebrating Dr. King’s legacy of Service
For the second year, FPCG recognized the MLK Day of Service at church by hosting church volunteers. These committed people joined together in small groups to clean, paint, fix up, or do whatever was necessary to keep our beautiful church home looking like the church facility that we have been entrusted to maintain by our former elders.
The Property Committee organized specific projects or task. Some of the projects included painting the small bathroom, cleaning the sanctuary, cleaning hand bells, cleaning the kitchen, and many other projects.
There was an opportunity for anyone and everyone to help out. Stay tuned for photos!

You are invited to join the Serendipity Bible Study Sundays at 11:30am in the Jennings Room for a 7 week discussion of the book of Acts.
Acts relates the dynamic story of the early days of the Christian church beginning with the Ascension of Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. As the introduction in the Serendipity Bible states, ”in 30 short years, the church grew from what was considered an insignificant Jewish sect to a major force in the Roman Empire.”
Come learn how this happened, what “growing pains” and miracles the church experienced along the way, and how the story of the early church has much to teach us in growing in faith and power in our individual and communal lives.
Join us on Sunday’s at 11:30 in the Jennings Room. For more info, talk to Rev. Kevin Porter.

This Christmas, as we joyfully celebrate the birth of our Lord, may each of us receive into our hearts the gift of this one that was so generously given to us . . . the gift of God’s Son. And may we always allow him to live within us and to shine through all that we say and do.
FPCG Staff Christmas Gifts
Christmas is a time when we can show our appreciation to our staff for all they do during the year to serve our congregation and community. Most of us have experienced the “extra” each of these staff members put into their job.
Staff Appreciation Christmas Gifts will be given to: Kevin, Eileen, David, Christian, Heidi, Kathy, Sally, Terry, Harry and Whaley just prior to the holiday.
You can share in these appreciation gifts by sending your contribution (checks made out to The First Presbyterian Church in Germantown) to the Personnel Committee.
