Mission Focus - During the summer months, the mission committee
focused our giving on Village Hope Partnership.
We reached our goal of sponsorship of a village which costs approximately $3000.00.
The mission committee matched congregational donations of $700.00.
Village Hope Partnership is committed to improving life for people in villages where key resources do not exist.
We thank you for your generous donations to this mission!
First Presbyterian Church actively exists as the living body of Christ,
committed to growing in faithfulness to God,
serving the whole human family and
welcoming all people into God’s love.
