Easter Egg Hunt
All children from nursery to 5th grade are invited to participate in the FPC Children’s Ministry Easter Egg Hunt! We’ll gather at the Fellowship Hall patio following worship on March 28. Bring your own basket (but we’ll have extras if you need one) and prepare for an egg-cellent time! We ask that children who are old enough to wear masks please do so.

Holy Week Art Walk
Due to the threat of rain, the Holy Week Art Walk has been moved from the Front Circle, to inside the Sanctuary.
You are invited to join us between 12:00-7:00 p.m. to participate in and view this full-sensory experience on the eight stations of the cross. Please enter via the Memorial Gallery, then exit via the Sanctuary doors. Hourly readings will take place in the Memorial Gallery, where participants will then be able to engage with each interactive station, before being directed into the Sanctuary to view each work of art. Please wear your mask and practice social distancing as you navigate through the space! We hope that you will stop by to participate in this special experience for the whole family! Find resources for each station of the cross using the link below! |
