The Adult Faith Formation Team is introducing a new way to engage with Sunday morning Scriptures – a weekly podcast during Lent! The presentation is entitled “A Blank Piece of Paper: A Preacher Prepares for Sunday.” Dr. Watkins will host a weekly gathering to connect, engage more deeply with scripture, and explore the sermon preparation process with members of our church and community. He will begin with a series on the “I Am” sayings of Jesus. The podcasts will be available here and on the Apple podcast app. The podcast app is already preloaded on all Apple phones. The podcast is available 24/7 days a week. New episodes are released on Wednesdays.

June 24-June 27 in Massanetta

Massanetta Springs Presbyterian Camp & Conference Center in Harrisonburg, VA invites us to gather with over a hundred other Presbyterian middle schoolers!  Exploring what it means to be “Wholly Loved” by God, we’ll enjoy time together for music, keynotes, small groups, energizers, workshops, games, and more!

Join us after worship on Sunday, March 23, in the Fellowship Hall as we celebrate the arrival of Spring with food, fellowship, and joy! We’ll be serving delicious spaghetti and drinks. How can you help? We’d love for you to bring any kind of salad or dessert to share! Please sign up here to let us know what you’ll bring and how many will be attending. This helps us prepare enough spaghetti for everyone! Let’s welcome Spring together. We can’t wait to see you there!

Are you new to the Presbyterian tradition? Or have you been here a while and still aren’t sure why we do what we do? Join us for a Presbyterian 101 class on April 27 and May 4 at 9:30 am in the Fellowship Hall. Gary Wires will offer a basic review of the history, theology, and practice of Presbyterian Churches. All questions are welcome. Sign-up here.

Join the flamingo frenzy and have fun while supporting our youth! Simply send a suggested $35 donation our way and watch the magic unfold as a fabulous flock of flamingos (put out by our stealthy youth in the cover of darkness) land gracefully on your friends’, family members’ or neighbors’ front yard. Whether it’s a birthday celebration, a sports team rivalry, graduation, or just a cheerful surprise, our flamingos – available in Carolina, N.C. State, Duke, or pretty Pink – will turn their yard into a flamboyant flamingo paradise! Sign up here!

Angel Care works with care deacons and church staff to provide occasional meals and rides for members of our congregation who could use some assistance for any number of reasons such as a medical condition, a temporary hardship, an ailing spouse, or a joyful occasion like the arrival of a new baby. Angels drop off homecooked or pre-made meals and provide transportation to and from church or medical appointments. If you would like to be added to the list of Angels, we would love to hear from you! Please contact Emily Inge at 919-413-3580 or by email.

Prayer is an essential part of the Christian community. We are looking for a team of individuals who are willing to pray weekly for our congregation, for specific people or specific situations. This is an important way to contribute to church life and a great way for anyone to share in our fellowship – whether you are young or older, whether you come to church every week or if travel or circumstance keeps you away. If you are interested, contact Jay Brown at [email protected] or call the church office.
