The congregation of First Presbyterian Church has been a powerful presence in Cambodia for over 22 years. For the past few years, our church has supported Friendship with Cambodia, a non-profit organization with humanitarian projects in Cambodia. Friendship with Cambodia supports: 

• Scholarship for poor rural students who are high achievers (85% are girls) to pursue university studies. (Less than 10% of the students in Cambodia finish high school).
• A shelter for street children (Currently there are over 4,000 homeless children living in the streets.)
• Work to stop sex trafficking. (Over 5,000 girls under age 18 were sold to brothels in Phnom Penh & are being held as prostitutes.)
• Help for landmine survivors. We are responding for their needs for prosthesis, income generation, house repair, ect. (There remain 4-6 million landmines in the ground from 30 years of war. Every 3 days someone steps on a landmine.)
• Free medical care for children at the Angkor Hospital for Children. (The Piecemakers of our church have provided beautiful quilts to the patients.)
• Women’s Self-Help Groups offering micro-credit programs so that the women can start a business, build a house, purchase a cow or a bicycle, etc. (Women’s economic empowerment is one of the 2 best ways to end poverty. The other is education for girls.)

Carillon Revelry Bell Choir raised money for a long-overdue refurbishment of our bells. Thanks to you, and memorial money given towards music ministry, we have raised the $8,000 needed! Thank you! The bell refurbishment has been completed and the bells have arrived back at First Pres.! To keep our bells well-maintained you can continue to support the bell fund. Checks can be made to First Presbyterian Church, with a memo for “Bell fund.”

Flowers: Sign up to bring flowers to Worship. Flowers can then be distributed later to our homebound members! A sign-up sheet is located on the bulletin board across from the office.

Name tags: Many members and friends graciously wear name tags to be more hospitable. Temporary name tags are available in the Narthex or from an usher. If you make 1st Pres your worshipping home then let the office know and we will gladly make you a permanent one! If you have a name tag please wear one, and introduce yourself to your neighbors!
