Merry Christmas, Church Family! We are a family of faith. In the Narthex, the Deacons have provided a folding screen where, with one Christmas card, you can greet your entire church family. This is an opportunity to save your time, money and the Earth’s resources. Bring your own card OR choose one from an assortment available at our table in the Narthex on Sunday mornings until Dec. 23. Please donate the amount of money, large or small, that you might have spent on cards for your church family. Checks can be made out to FPCP with “Deacons’ Christmas Cards” on the memo line.

You may leave your cards in the folder on the screen, or with Stu Dodge, Church Business Manager. Thank you from the Deacons and your church family!

News & Announcements
Did you know? The Session of FPCP is made up of 10 Committees. Each Committee has one - three elders serving on that committee. If you have a question or would like to know how to serve, please contact one of the elders. (Contact information can be found in your 2019 Church Directory.)

The Membership committee coordinates New Member classes, follows through with visitor contact and welcome. They provide church activity information to prospective New Members and publicize church activities and events. Maintenance of the church database is also a responsibility of the Membership Committee.
Stewardship Committee Stewardship is one way of saying “thank you” to God while supporting the ministries of the church. It is a form of discipleship that enables meeting the needs of our church families, as well as those of the visitors and other friends who enter our doors every week. These needs include the desire to hear reminders of God’s love; reaching out in Mission; providing faith nurture for our children; and belonging to a living community of faith.
Worship Committee The purpose of the Worship Committee is to support the worship experience in the Sanctuary and Upper Room through the coordination of clergy, music, Communion, ushers, service support, flowers and decorations and through the management of the Memorial Fund. We greatly appreciate the guidance of our ministers, music directors and support as well as the consistent and faithful contributions of our congregation.
Recycle, Reuse & Rejoice . . .
Some wrapping paper can be recycled. The wrapping paper that cannot be recycled is glossy foil, even if it has just a small amount of foil in it. The reason being that the paper dissolves during the recycling process, but the foil remains in threads that gum up the machines. Remember, the Sunday comics are always a good resource and are nostalgic to boot. Newspaper is always recyclable. Tissue paper cannot be recycled because the paper fibers are too short. Ribbon and bows also cannot be recycled. Real Christmas trees can be put out at the curb as is,
without a bag. The boughs can be useful as mulch in your own backyard. Poinsettias usually will continue to grow long after Christmas or can be put out with your Christmas tree. Please help your trash collectors by following these guidelines when putting your trash out to the curb.

Congratulations to Amy Marmaduke, the 2018 recipient of the Carol Dodge Award. There's no denying Amy's love for her church and our youth programs. She is currently serving as an Elder on the Christian Nurture Committee, has served as a Deacon, volunteers in the Sunday School program, with the youth groups, Vacation Bible School, Children's choir and in the nursery. She is a Bible study leader for one of the Wednesday morning women's groups, volunteers at the Thrift shop and has been a hostess for many Festival of Tables evenings. She also has been the pianist and has assisted in worship in the Upper Room. Amy consistently and unselfishly gives of herself through the gifts she shares with others. One of her greatest
gifts is her ability to reach out to others. With warmth and love she has invited many people to join First
Presbyterian Church and participate in this place that she loves.
