The Congregational Development and Fellowship Committee is in need of folks to:
+ Pour coffee & cleanup during Coffee Hour on the fourth Sunday, Feb. 27th

What a winter we have had! And it is not over yet; it looks like more difficult weather is headed our way this week.
Sometimes it is necessary to cancel our worship service. Such a decision is made at the last minute and in case of such an emergency, we will have the cancellation announced on KYW Radio (1060 AM) and local television stations.
During the week if the Philadelphia Public Schools are closed due to inclement weather the church will also be closed.
Always use your best judgment about venturing out in bad weather.

This year, the December Bread and Cup will be combined with the Christian Education Committee’s Christmas Festival for all ages.
On December 19 at 3:00, FPCG members and friends will celebrate the Christmas season with our neighbors of all ages. The Congregational Development Committee will provide snacks, hot soup and bread and you are invited to bring a dessert to share.
The activities will include a Christmas pageant (designed to include any and all youth who attend), gingerbread house construction and other crafts, a live nativity in our parking lot, a Christmas carol sing, special entertainment from choir soloist Jessie Padgett and several FPCG members, and an open microphone portion for your talent.
This will be a wonderful event to bring friends and family. Admission is free, with donations gratefully received. Talk to Christian Heyer-Rivera for more information.

Thank You!! Your generous response to our Thanksgiving food drive was overwhelming! Read more about it here...
This is the time of year when we all look forward to the holidays. With just a few days break after our Thanksgiving drive, we are looking ahead to the Christmas food drive. We need your help!
Donations of both food and time are vital to this outreach mission. Food donations are needed for holiday baskets and to replenish the food cupboard.
