Easter Blessings!
Make sure to join us for our Confirmands Reception with Lemonade on the Lawn immediately following worship today. In the event of rain, please join us in the parlor.
Then following Lemonade on the Lawn we will have and Easter Egg Hunt for the children, please leave all baskets for the hunt in the library. If it is too wet to hold the Easter Egg Hunt outside we will move to Nunan Hall.
We will also decorate the cross out front with fresh flowers rain or shine!
FPC served at the final community Lenten Lunch for the season—thanks to all of our members who helped cook and serve. The meal our PW Circles prepared was delicious! Our very own Ike Trotter blessed us with two hymns. Reverend J.D. Yates of the Greenville Ministerial Alliance shared an inspiring meditation. All proceeds will be donated to the Boys & Girls Club.
Cuba Water Partnership Update
Our partners at Camajuani Presbyterian Church in Cuba are celebrating their 114th anniversary! We are celebrating right along with our siblings. Our water team sent the following greetings to the church:
We give thanks to God for the generations who have gone before you, for their steadfast love, and for the strong foundation of faith upon which you continue to build.
We rejoice in the way you embody the church beyond your walls, serving your community with compassion and courage. Through your hands, people who hunger are fed, those who thirst receive pure water, those who are sick find care, and above all, many are given the gift of hope. Your ministry is a living testimony to God’s love at work in the world.
Please know that we are grateful for our partnership with you, and we are continually inspired by your faithfulness and your witness. You remind us what it means to serve with joy, even in the midst of challenges.
As you mark this special anniversary, we pray that God will continue to strengthen you, renew your spirit, and bless your ministry abundantly. May the years ahead be filled with grace, deepened faith, and the continued outpouring of hope through your church and into your community.
