MISSIONAL LIVING
Journey with us weekly through prompted prayers, spiritual practices, and acts of care for the people around us. In Epiphany we focus on our neighbor — pray for their flourishing, practice memorizing Philippians 1:6, and reach out to those around you with thoughtful acts of care. Send a video of you and your crew memorizing the weekly verse for a spotlight on First Pres’ social media.
The Bible is one, unified story that points us to Jesus, yet many of us have never been taught to read it this way. Our Biblical Narrative Workshop will equip you to read "along the grain" of Scripture and make sense of the storyline through Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration — ultimately seeing Jesus as the hero of every story. Join Rev. Tanner Fox and Women’s Ministry Director, Shannon Basso, for this interactive experience next Wednesday, 02.23, from 6:30-8:30pm in Lee Fellowship Hall.
Mark your calendar for this very special guest lecture with beloved, former First Pres-er and renowned author, Robert Wolgemuth, on Sunday, 02.27, at 10:15am in Lee Fellowship Hall. Basics & Foundations, Couples of the Bible, and Pastors classes will all gather together for this combined Formation Hour around the topic of marriage. All are welcome!
HOSPITALITY TEAM — 02.20
Can you brew coffee, plate and refresh delicious treats, setup or cleanup? Whatever your interest, the Hospitality Team has a spot for you! We need your helping hands to make Formation/Fellowship Hour possible each Sunday. Join Lori Needham and Lisa Booth for a kitchen tour and coffee brewing orientation this Sunday, 02.20, at 8:30am.

Please RSVP by 02.23, 5pm. Questions? Contact Alexa Rossi
Our campus comes alive on Sundays, and we need First Pres Men to rise as our Welcome Team — welcoming all, offering information and directions, and even escorting visitors to their desired locations. With matching FPCO sport shirts and a heart to greet and guide our Sunday guests, these men are beacons for our visitors and a vital ministry in our Sunday morning experience. Contact Dave McKnight or Mike Phillips with questions.
We’ll soon wrap up our Beautiful Bride sermon series and usher in a new season of Lent with our Ash Wednesday service on 03.02 at 6:30pm. Please plan to join us, in-person or online, for this sacred time of confession, worship and the imposition of ashes for the entire family. Nursery will be available for children, ages newborn-kindergarten.
WEST SIDE MEETING — 03.06
As we move toward a new church plant in 2023, we’ll host an information session on Sunday, 03.06, in King Parlor at 10:15am. If you live in the Windermere, Winter Garden, Clermont, or Dr. Phillips areas, and are interested in the potential of being part of our new plant, don’t miss this meeting! No commitments. Come hear the vision, ask questions, and see where God might be leading you.
