FPC MINISTRY UPDATES

Worship

 Sunday Worship Services—We will have two worship services: 9 AM in the Sanctuary and 11 AM in King Hall. Our Sunday School Hour is from 10:05 AM to 10:50 AM.

 

Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 2. Don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour and enjoy your extra hour of sleep.

 

Reformation Sunday is this Sunday, October 26

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany.  This marked the beginning of the Protestant Reformation.  We express the tenets of the Reformation through the five solas—God’s grace alone is the only way to be reconciled to Him; our faith alone, (a gift from God), is the only means of receiving God’s grace; Christ alone is the ground of God’s saving grace; Scripture alone is the only infallible authority for belief; and the ultimate purpose for our lives is for God’s glory alone. Semper Reformanda, always reforming.

Prayerfully Reflecting Our Call to Give

Thanks be to God for all who have submitted their 2025 General Fund Commitment Cards. If you have not submitted your Commitment Card or have misplaced it, there are extras in both the Sanctuary and King Hall, or you may use the QR code to access our online Commitment Card.  

 

Operation Christmas Child 

Here is a simple yet profound mission project for people of all ages. For this project, pick up an empty shoe box and pack it full of items for children, such as stuffed animals, toys, school supplies, shirts, flip flops, etc.  The boxes are then sent around the world.  Every child who receives a box is told about the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. This means every box is a gospel opportunity. Please pick up a box from the table outside the sanctuary or in the atrium outside of King Hall.  We ask that you plan to bring your boxes back by Nov.16. If you would prefer that a box be packed for you, please drop a $25 check into the offering with OCC on the memo line. Please contact Pastor Ken ( ) with any questions. 

   

October is Pastor Appreciation Month

Although we love and appreciate our Pastors throughout the year, October is set aside as a time to express our thanks and appreciation more intentionally. If you feel led, please consider sending a card or note to our Pastors letting them know how the Lord has used them to bless you and your family. As the Apostle Paul reminds us, “Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” Thessalonians 5:12-13 NIV

 

Annual Children's Ministry Christmas Play Wednesday, November 19th at 6 pm in the King Hall

We invite all children from 3 years old to 5th grade to participate. Please bring your children to God's Garden on October 22nd at 5:30 pm to sign in and start practices. If you have any questions about the Christmas Play, please contact Mrs. Andrea.

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES ~ SERVE PROFILE

The Bible teaches us that all Christians were “created in Christ Jesus for good works” (Ephesians 2:10). Our church has created a Serve Profile that helps you discover how God has gifted you for His service and shows you potential areas of service in the church and community. This Serve Profile does not automatically sign you up to serve anywhere! It opens the door for a ministry leader to contact you and discuss ways you may feel called to serve FPC and our surrounding community when opportunities are presented. You may visit fpcrome.org/serve and click on the SERVE PROFILE button. It is accessible from all mobile devices and takes about 7 minutes to complete. If you prefer a paper copy, contact the church office at 706-291-6033.
