2 Coins - a- Meal

The offering is collected on the last Sunday of each month.
As we eat our meals, try a couple of new prayers.

In gratitude we bow our heads
to thank Thee for our daily bread.
And may we use the strength it brings
for doing kind and helpful things.
Amen

Dear God, I/we gratefully bow my/our head(s)
to thank you for our daily bread.
And may there be a goodly share
on every table, everywhere.
Amen

The Presbyterian Coffee Project

The Presbyterian Coffee Project is a way to help people in need while enjoying fellowship and an excellent cup of coffee. Presbyterian congregations that participate are supporting fair trade-practices which complement our mission with farmers in Latin
America, Africa and Asia, as well as our commitment to stewardship of the natural environment.
Purchase of this coffee ensures a fair price to the farmers as many struggle for basic subsistence. Please join us at Fellowship Hour each Sunday for an opportunity to sample this coffee, purchase fairly traded coffee and tea and learn more about the Coffee Project and Fair Trade. Some special regular favors are, Organic Ethiopian, Café Salvador, and Café Nicaragua. Decaffeinated flavor is Organic Columbian and some of the flavored coffees include Hazelnut Crème, French Vanilla and Toffee Caramel.

ALL NEW WEDNESDAYS@FIRST POTLUCKS

This Fall begins a new format on Wednesdays! Once a month we will meet for a potluck supper followed by an activity designed to be shared together as a church family – all ages can be involved. The schedule is printed below. Each program will begin with dinner at 6:00 pm. Bring a dish to pass and table setting. We also will be contributing each month to create Gift of the Heart Kits, which are distributed by Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. We will be asking for donations to create School, Hygiene, and Baby Kits. Enjoy this opportunity to share together around the table and have some fun as we get to know each other and enjoy a time of relaxation and fellowship. See you there!!
