Pastor Neal is currently preaching a sermon series on the Parables of Jesus. Join us for worship as we explore these classic gospel stories from new and unconventional angles. 
 

Sunday Mornings @ FPC:
8:00am - Contemplative Service (Outdoors)

Our online services are broadcast on our website at www.firstpresbyterian.church and via Facebook Live.  You can click the green "FPC Worship Live" button below on Sunday mornings to participate.

Last Sunday's worship service and Pastor Neal's sermon on "The Rich Man and Lazarus" is available to watch by clicking on the image above.  You can also find recent sermons and worship videos on our church YouTube Channel as well as our Facebook page. 

After reviewing all city and CDC guidance, our "Trunk or Treat" alternative this year will be an Enchanted Forest on Saturday, October 31st from 2pm to 6pm.  Families are invited to come (in costume!) and walk through our outdoor "enchanted forest" of decorated cars (one family at a time).  At the end of the forest, a package of individually-wrapped candy will be distributed to each child.  Protective face-masks will be required. 

If you would like to volunteer to decorate your car as an "enchanted tree" in our forest, please contact Patty at the church office (915-533-7551, office@fpcep.org) to let us know.  We'll provide the candy, but will need some health-conscious-minded volunteers to help us distribute it in a safe, responsible manner, and also direct traffic during the event.

It is that time of year again for our annual and very successful Coat Sunday! In partnership with our preschool and elementary school, we are currently collecting new and used coats until October 23rd. You can bring coat donations to the church office, or simply hang them on the fence near the front office door, and we will collect them.  Then on October 25th (Reformation Sunday!) we'll say a prayer of blessing over the coats in both Sunday worship services, after which they will be delivered to needy children in Ciudad Juarez. Thank you for your donations!

“Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease
into the conversation. The kettle is singing
even as it pours you a drink, the cooking pots
have left their arrogant aloofness and
seen the good in you at last. All the birds
and creatures of the world are unutterably
themselves. Everything is waiting for you.”

Join us this week in celebrating the following people and their birthdays: Paul Ocon (10/10), Angel Garcia, Michelle Gutierrez, Ashley Taylor (10/11), Dalton Caldwell, Hayden Navarrete (10/12), Georgia Carreon Thompson (10/14).
