Souper Sunday Feb 4th Help fight hunger!

Bring a can (or more!) of soup on Sunday, February 4th. Place your donations in the cart in the atrium. All soup will be donated to The Food Pantry. This project is sponsored by PW's Together in Service, providing 'hands on' mission opportunities. Thank you for your help!

News and Notes

E-Mail Communications

The church office will be sending reminder notices of meetings, worship assistants, and most communications via e-mail to all those who have email. We are asking you to check your e-mail regularly and to let the church office know if you have e-mail address changes. If you choose not to share your e-mail address with the church family, that is okay. For those who do not have access to e-mail, your communications will be sent via USPS. Thank you for your support!

Need A Little Warmth?

Our member Shirley Jones made a lovely small afghan to be used by any member at church who finds it uncomfortably cool in the sanctuary. Before the service begins you may ask one of the ushers to get the afghan for you, or you may pick it up in the lower right door of the church parlor cupboard. Thank you, Shirley!

"The Feast of the Superb Owl"

A new member of a church was confused by an entry in their bulletin for Sunday, February 4, that read "The Feast of the Superb Owl". The new member figured they had missed something many years ago in Sunday School until a friend explained, that it should read "The Feast of the Super Bowl."

A person joins the Presbyterian Church in one of three ways: "by Baptism and Profession of Faith, Certificate of Transfer from a sister congregation, or Reaffirmation of Faith". If you are seeking a church home, prayerfully consider joining our congregation. If you desire to do so, talk with the minister after worship or at a more convenient time

If you would like to receive information about upcoming children's events by email, please contact or email the church office at fpcathens@cox-internet.com.

Looking for a place to serve? Consider FPC children's ministry programs! The time commitment is small, but the rewards are eternal. Please see Amy Hoffman if you would like to volunteer for Sunday school, Wednesday night, Time with Children during Sunday worship, music time, special events, or even behind the scenes. We welcome all volunteers!

We Need Your Help

It's great to be so busy in our Church! We are asking for your help. When you want to schedule a meeting for your group (PW Circle, Committee, etc.), please call or come by the church office so we may have the event approved, identify the location, and then schedule the event on the "master calendar". This will prevent double booking the available spaces. Thank you for your help as we strive to serve our church family
