First Presbyterian Church FWB, FL

Ginger Davis, Co-founder of A Bed 4 Me Foundation provided a presentation relating to the need for beds for children in the local community. She stressed the importance of a child having their own space and how it improves their education and life.

During the past 2 months, our Youth Group under the guidance of the Christian Education (CE) Committee along with the Witness & Outreach Committee organized a sheet & bedding drive for a Bed 4 Me Foundation. They were presented with over 50 bedding sets collected from members of The First Presbyterian Church FWB.

The Joy Circle of First Presbyterian Church, Ft. Walton Beach, will hold a SERRV Mini Market on Sundays in December.

The Church is located at 134 Beak Parkway SW, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548.

SERRV products are traditional and unique handmade crafts from around the world, including Christmas ornaments and nativities, foods, decorator items, baskets, jewelry, and more. These are fairly traded items and your purchase will directly benefit the artisans who created them. Proceeds from the sale also support charities worldwide.

The Witness & Outreach committee invites you to a “pillow-making activity” on Saturday, November 16th, 10:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. We will sew and assemble small pillows. You can bring a sewing machine if you like but it’s not necessary.

The finished pillows are saturated with prayer and then distributed to patients undergoing treatment.

Members and guests are invited to gather in the Fellowship Hall immediately following Worship service at 11:00 a.m. on November 24th for the annual Harvest Home Dinner.

We need 7 people to donate/cook a turkey and bring it to the church kitchen Saturday, November 23 between 9:00 am to noon. Please sign up in the kitchen.

Please join us as we start a new Bible Study on Wednesday’s at 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. beginning on Wednesday, October 30th through Wednesday, November 20th. Nooma is a series of short films featuring best selling author, Rob Bell. Jesus lived with the awareness that God is doing something right here, right now. Everybody can be a part of it. He encouraged his listeners to question and wrestle with the implications of what he was saying and doing. Nooma invites you to search, question, and join the discussion.
