All are welcome to our service of Scripture, sermon, prayers, and song.
Our service also includes a special time for the children. Children begin worship in the Sanctuary and leave with teachers during the sermon time for Sunday school. They are also welcome to worship with their families in the pews. Sound is also turned on in our Gathering Space just outside the big glass doors to the sanctuary in case your child needs a little more space to move around during the service. A nursery is available for younger children if your family prefers that option.
Masks and socially distanced seating are optional.
Each year on Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and the birthday of the church. The Holy Spirit remains with us still, connecting us with the church of the past, continuing to inspire the church of today, and pointing us to the church of the future. Each year, this celebration is marked by receiving the Pentecost Offering which nurtures the faith of those who are the church to come. Our gifts to the Pentecost Offering connect with God’s hope and future, supporting ministries with children, youth and young adults by building a life of faith.
Of this offering:
40% remains with FVPC to support ministries with children and youth in our church and local community.
25% supports the Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) experience. YAVs volunteer for a time to engage in mission in the US and around the world.
10% supports children at-risk.
25% supports ministries with youth including Presbyterian Youth Triennium.
We will receive the offering in worship today. You may contribute online beginning May 25.
