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.

10:30pm Nativity Concert
11:00pm Candelight Service of Lessons and Carols
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.
