Easter Egg Hunt and Picnic, NEW DATE, April 17
Dear Friends,
Due to the rainy forecast for tomorrow morning, we are going to need to cancel the Easter Egg Hunt out at The Hill. We may not be able to hunt together for eggs this year, but there are still Easter Eggs to enjoy! Be sure to bring your Easter Basket to church on Easter morning for extra Easter treats!

One Great Hour of Sharing Offering
On Easter we will receive the OGHS special offering. The three programs it supports are Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA), the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Self-Development of People. From initial disaster response to ongoing community development, these programs provide people with safety, sustenance, and hope. PDA funds are currently providing assistance to Ukrainians for emergency humanitarian aid such as food items, shelter, medicines, diapers, hygiene items, etc. You may donate by a check to FPC with “OGHS” noted on the bottom or online (please select “General Fund” under “Select a Fund,” and in the optional memo write “One Great Hour of Sharing.”)
Continental Breakfast, 9:30 a.m.
Join us for the celebration of the risen Christ. Instead of Sunday School we will all gather as a church family for fellowship.
