• Baptism Class - TODAY, 12:45-13:45, Pastor Peter’s office (313): This class is for those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ but have not been baptized, for parents who want their children to be baptized, or anyone who just wants to know more about baptism.

http://tiny.cc/fpcbaptism• Communion Sunday - 12/10: We will hold our monthly celebration of the Lord’s Supper today. Please prepare your hearts for this intimate act of recognition of our dependence on our Lord Jesus Christ.
• FPC Youth Retreat 2023 - 12/26-29, Registration Deadline Dec 10: Registration is now open. This retreat will be the first of it’s kind. We are opening up the retreat to not only our own youth, but we also encourage the youth to invite their friends. We welcome all our congregation to invite any youth that you may like to invite. We will also invite missionary kids to the retreat. It’s especially a first of it’s kind because we will ask a church team from Australia to come and lead our retreat. It is their service to us. It’s going to be great, so quickly sign up to guarantee a spot for your youth. http://tiny.cc/fpcretreat

"The Advent season is that time when we seek to, in a manner of speaking, mute our memory of what has already happened, that we might brighten our joy that it happened. We leave the already of His advent to taste the bitter of the not yet. We, in short, go back, that we might look forward to His coming."
–R.C. Sproul
