First Presbyterian Church FWB, FL

Sharing & Caring of Okaloosa County, Inc. supplies run low at this time of year, so we are giving a little extra help by collecting EVERY Sunday in July. Specific needs are: Diapers (sizes 4, 5, & 6), grits, and canned soup. Your donations are a blessing to families in need so let’s overflow the shopping cart!

Please join us for a Rummage Sale on Saturday, August 10th from 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. We are accepting items now (anything except clothes). Bring unwanted items to the CE building, room 6. Proceeds will be donated to Presbyterian Disaster Relief. Contact Barbara Blackburn, (850) 598-7269, if you would like to help. 💵💰💸

The bells ring out 3 times daily in the village of Taizé, France calling people from many countries to scripture, song, and silent meditation. Join us next Sunday, July 28th to share the mystery of God’s presence in a unique way! ✝️🙏🏼
