Looking for a Spiritual Lift?
Our Lord Jesus prayed in the Garden “Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one.” (John 17:11)
Unity for the church is on the heart of Jesus. Our Advent and Lenten Guide devotionals help us to share with one another in a united way. Another way we can increase our bonds of Christian love and unity at FPC is to unite in reading the same devotional, Our Daily Bread.
By using the same devotional together, in addition to whatever other devotionals you choose to use, we can share His Word and respond to His Word with one another. Of course, this is entirely voluntary. But we ask you to prayerfully consider joining other brothers and sisters in Christ here at First Presbyterian as we seek to draw closer to Him throughout this coming year.
Dinner Club
FPC’s Dinner Club is a great way to get to know the people you see on Sunday while enjoying dinner, brunch or even a night out. When you sign up, you become part of a group of six or eight people who meet at their convenience at least twice during a six-month period. A different person or couple acts as host each time, providing a main dish. Others, if able, bring an appetizer, salad, dessert, or whatever group members decide. It’s informal, always lively, and open to all adults, young or old, single or attached, new to FPC or lifetime members. Please consider joining this group that can transform a Sunday handshake into a lasting friendship. Click here for more information.

Young Adult Ministry
The
CONNECTIONS group celebrated the start of summer with a
game night and ended it with a campfire. As some start a
new chapter in their life and others continue on a post
high school path, we hope all can continue to connect with
FPC. Check the FPCNewportConnections Facebook group for
future events such as the Thanksgiving brunch. For those
interested in joining, search for FPCNewportConnections
group on Facebook and send a request to
join.
Annual
Congregational Meeting and Lunch
In late January,
this is an opportunity to combine business and pleasure.

year and the goals for the coming year, while enjoying a
delicious potluck dinner.
