Music & Fellowship at FPC

The Alleluia Singers, Cherub Choir, and Handbell Choir will present a Christmas Celebration on our final Wednesday evening of the year following the fellowship dinner. The Children’s Choirs will present various carols and readings telling of the Nativity.

 

At the conclusion of the December 13 Christmas Celebration, there will be a brief party/reception for all of our music ensemble participants and their families. The children will be able to spend their “music bucks” that they have been earning over the semester during children’s choir. If you are interested in helping with food, drinks, and other party goods, contact Jeremy Jones at the church or at home 252-758-9004. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

 

 

We have several great musical opportunities to share with our church members, family, friends, and surrounding community members. You are all encouraged to attend and invite others to see Handel’s Messiah as well as the Christmas Celebration presented by our Children’s Choirs to enjoy the gift that God has given us in music. Hope to see you there!

Rally Day

Once again our church family will come together to celebrate the start of a new Sunday School year!! Hand in hand, we will think about how we will let our “faith shine through” as we take care of what God has created and given to us.
The fun begins at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, September 10th in Lacy Hall. Join us for breakfast snacks and drinks. There will be something “yummy” for all ages to enjoy.
Our wonderful choir will lead us in some favorite hymns. Also sharing their musical gifts will be some of our young children.
Afterwards we will go to our appropriate Sunday school rooms. We will meet our teachers and begin our new lesson series.
Come to the courtyard after Sunday school.  Our RALLY DAY events will continue there!!

Youth Notes

The Middle School and Senior High youth groups have been quite busy over the past few weeks.

The Senior High Youth Group helped to answer a small family’s Christmas wishes through a service project involving the Bassett Center. The Senior Highs got together at a local discount center, made out lists and shopped diligently for requested items. Using their own money, they picked out presents designed to help the family with their wants and needs. The group wrapped the presents and presented them to the Basset Center for distribution.

The Middle School Youth Group worked with The Tar River Mental Health Association in their annual Operation Santa Claus campaign. The group wrapped presents, sent cards, sorted donations and had fun at the same time. Their work benefits the residents of mental health agencies in the area. The group was so hard-working and efficient that the staff of TRMHA had to scramble to keep them busy. Much was accomplished in just a few hours.

Both groups, out of a sense of appreciation, found ways to give back to the congregation. Members of the Middle School group designed and made Christmas cards for members of the church. Members of the Senior High group served refreshments to attendees of the Longest Night service that was held in our sanctuary.

The church was well represented by the members of both youth groups as they participated in the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign. On the last night of the drive youth group members, their advisors and their parents were stationed at both entrances of Harris Teeter to collect donations. It was cold, but over twenty-five willing volunteers braved the elements to help those in need. It was a great night. Many thanks to the congregation for supporting our youth and this great cause.

Both groups, having done a lot to help others, took time to celebrate the season with each other. The Middle School group’s Christmas party included great food and an entertaining “white elephant” gift exchange. The Senior High group celebrated with a home-cooked meal and a time of reflection on the year and the meaning of Christmas.

Rally Day @ First Presbyterian

Rally Day is the first day of the new Christian Education year at First Presbyterian Church.

It is the day we "rally" together to share our excitement and enthusiasm for a new year of learning and growing in discipleship. Church school classes begin for all ages and we become re-acquainted with each other after the long summer months. Rally Day at FPC is traditionally held on the first Sunday after Labor Day, which this year falls on September 11th.

This Rally Day is extra special as we celebrate the arrival of a new curriculum for preschool through fifth graders. "We Believe" is a curriculum written by and for Presbyterians and has been well-received across the country. On August 22nd, our teachers attended a special workshop that featured this new curriculum and all it has to offer our church. We are excited to be able to offer this curriculum as part of our overall ministry to children at First Presbyterian.

We would like to say a special word of thanks to our Church school teachers and substitutes for the preschool to fifth grade classes. All Sunday school classes are held in the Educational Building. Classroom numbers and teachers for the 05-06 year are as follows:
