Fountain Hills Presbyterian Church

The Evening Circle will be enjoying a potluck dinner at the home of Maria Berry on June 17. If you have considered joining the Evening Circle, this would be a great opportunity to get to know more about us. We meet on the third Monday evening of each month in September through May, and there are currently about 12 active members. If you would like to attend our potluck, please contact either Maria Berry at 480-836-2424 or Circle Chair Judy Hamouda at 480-215-0827. We are also planning our annual Sunday “lunch and a movie” in August. Stay tuned for more details as they develop and perhaps you can join us then.

Police officers, firefighters and paramedics put themselves on the front lines of dangerous and traumatic events, and it’s common to wonder how you can thank these individuals, perhaps lessening the emotional burden of their work. FHPC has received a request from former mayor Linda Kavanaugh, a good friend of FHPC, and her ad hoc committee to support the F.H. First Responders’ Christmas Tree. The plan calls for a 15-foot blue-lighted artificial tree to be placed downtown during the holidays to recognize and thank all first responders who engage in public safety for our community. This simple gesture would do wonders for first responders’ morale, as well as, demonstrating public unity/support for their tireless dedication to safety.

 

Members and friends of FHPC are encouraged to support this project and make checks out to:  “First Responders Christmas Tree” and mail/drop off at the church office.  The Mission Committee will gather the donations and send them in bulk around June 17. By grouping the funds in this manner will show that our church supports community projects. This is not a contribution to FHPC and there is no tax deductibility issued.

During the summer, school students who qualify for the hot lunch program during the year may go without a nutritious meal on any given day. Hence, their families rely of the Extended Hands Food Bank for assistance. Please be generous with your food donations into the basket on Sundays throughout the summer.

Since we will be hosting this event for Hope Presbytery, we need helpful hands and smiling faces to welcome attendees, assist with parking, registration and serving food. Please RSVP to the church office to volunteer and/or attend as we need a headcount for lunch. The cost for lunch is $8.

Sunday worshipers are invited to a brunch in the Fellowship Hall between the 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. services.

There is an organized Prayer Walk around the Fountain OR Prayer Hike on the Overlook Trail on the day of the prayer service. All are welcome, and we invite you and any of your friends or family to join us .

Volunteers are needed for the National Day of Prayer Service May 2. The Greeters are required to be at the Amphitheater at Fountain Park at 5:30 pm to greet all attendees & distribute the Evening Programs. Contact Carol Skewes if you can help.

Please join other FHPC members at this important annual event. It will be held in the amphitheater at Fountain Park. Complimentary food and beverages will be available at 5:30. Pastor Bill will be participating in the service along with others from the Ministerial Council. Please wear your FHPC tee-shirt if you have one. Contact: Jack Reynolds 336-382-1787
