This Sunday in our worship service, we will be observing the sacrament of Holy Communion. In order for this to work in our new online format, we're inviting everyone to "BYOB" -- Bring your Own Bread (and wine or grape juice) to the worship service, which can be accessed at 10am Sunday morning by clicking the green "FPC Online" button below. Any type of bread and juice/wine will do; just make sure you have enough to share with those in your household.

FPC Church Elder and UTEP Professor, Dr. Craig Field, was recently featured in local news coverage for helping to "launch a new research effort, called CAMBIOS, in April 2020 that will focus on successful changes among heavy drinkers that may include abstinence." The study "hopes to recruit Hispanic men ages 20 to 50 from the Paso del Norte region who have effectively changed their drinking behavior" in order to "learn what, how and why the participants decided to alter their behavior" as well as the "psychological factors and cultural risks the men encountered." For more information, or to participate in the study, read the entire article on UTEP's website.
