School supply drive - Lower Gathering Space

  • Google Calendar ICS

Since it's back-to-school time, it's time for FVPC's annual Church World Service school-supply drive! This year's drive begins today and runs through Sunday, September 14. The Sewing Circle has graciously made beautiful school supply bags for us to fill.

To participate, pick up a bag and list of supplies at the donation box in the Lower Gathering Space. If collecting items isn't your thing, you may make a donation on the church giving page or by check, adding “school kits” to the check’s memo line.

Questions? Please contact Kristin Williams (773-771-4651 or tkdmwilliams707@gmail.com).

Have you ever wondered what it’s like at our southern border? Come to this presentation and find out!

The FVPC members and friends who recently participated in an Abara Encounter in El Paso/ Juarez are eager to share what they have learned. You are invited to join them at 9:00 am in the Conference Room and find out more about how we can make a difference in the lives of people caught in difficult circumstances. 

Keep an eye on the adult ministries website page and publications as there may be a book study in the works!
