Thank you, FPC, for a Magnificent Mardi Gras Madness 2026!

Dear FPC Family,

We are amazed by the labor of love everyone poured into this year’s MGM! Because of you, thousands of God’s children in Cuba are drinking clean water. Thank you for sharing the blessing and serving with such open hearts and hands. Donations are continuing to come in—we’re adding everything up and will share the good news as soon as we can. It was a terrific year of team work. Our hearts are full, and our water partners in Cuba are a blessing to their communities because of all your hard work.

The madness continues…but not for long!

We have some delicious freezer items to sell:

Grillades quarts ($25)

Grits ($10)

Bread pudding trays with sauce ($20)

There are also some soups, stews, casseroles, and Gambino bread still on hand from the First Pres Freezer.

First come, first served—they won’t last long! Contact Kendall and she’ll meet you at church: 662-931-1737

Pottery: There are wind chimes and a few pieces of pottery still available. Reach out to Angela (662-820-9567) for more info.

Be a Part: Many donations have already been given toward system and solar equipment and they keep flowing in—thank you! People can continue to give toward this. You can share the info below with your family and friends who haven’t had a chance to give yet.

21 years is a long time to commit to being a water partner. A pastor in Cuba shared with us once that this is not easy work. But it’s beautiful work. And it’s a blessing to do it together. Amen!
