FIRST PRESBYTERIAN FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

G-TOWN (Youth leading Youth)

FPC’s newest youth group comprised of 3^rd – 5^th graders that meet every other Sunday from 3:45 – 4:45 pm. It is led by Middle School Youth (under adult supervision). This group gathers for energizing, games, Bible study and prayer.

Open to all 6^th – 8^th graders, this group meets most Sundays from 5 – 6:30pm for organized programs, games, fellowship and supper. In addition to providing leadership for the G-Town group they attend the annual Massanetta Youth Conference.

In addition to Sunday morning classes, youth in grades 9^th – 12^th meet on Sunday evenings for supper and organized programs and activities. Participation in a Summer Youth Conference at Montreat, a camping trip to the beach or Presbyterian Point, and a yearly service project are typical annual activities

Monthly gatherings of young adults, single or who have chosen their life partners, who are college age and older, who may be in graduate school, or are already working. Typically, the Crossroads participants do not have childcare responsibilities and can meet regularly to go out to lunch, supper, a sporting event, etc. and share fellowship.

Monthly gatherings of adults and young families designed for adults between ages 25-45 (+ or -). Gatherings alternate between “adults only” and “with children”. Participants gather at a host home for pizza, covered dish suppers and service projects. First Friends and families enjoy an annual trip to the beach.

This is a ubiquitous crowd whose ages are from 45 to ?? (but who’s counting?) Most of these folks have children who are long gone from home. Prime Timers gather approximately six times per year for a covered dish supper in members homes. The members are among the first to roll up their sleeves for workdays and special projects around the church. An annual trip to the beach is a highlight of this group’s fellowship.

A group of retired individuals and couples who meet monthly for lunch at a local restaurant for food, fellowship and stimulating conversation.

Senior members and friends who meet twice yearly for a catered luncheon at the church. The program following the luncheon varies—a hymn sing, a slide show featuring a member’s travels, or a song and dance program by senior performer

This group promotes the fellowship of women of all ages. Activities include two Circles that share in Bible study, as well as care for each other and homebound members. The “circles” have typically met on the first Monday of the month, and one can join either a morning or evening circle.
