In this season of giving thanks, we have so much to be grateful for here at First Pres. God has truly blessed us. For over 200 years we have been a presence in the Germantown community ministering to and with our neighbors in this northwest section of Philadelphia. We are a diverse congregation united by our faith in Jesus Christ and our commitment to providing a vital ministry in our community.

What more can I say about The First Presbyterian Church in Germantown Disciples’ Basketball team? The history of this team and I go way back. I remember when Chris first asked Christian about starting his own basketball team here at the church. It was the year of 2005. Chris, Christian and I were standing by the gym steps between the Jennings and Finney Room. Chris talked about his idea to make a team and Christian liked the idea. He said we’ll see what we can do and if we are able to find players. Of course that was not a problem.
Our record during the first league was not the best, but it sure was not as bad as it could have been. We had put that season all behind us. With the help of some new players, we went undefeated during the next season and competed in the championship game.
