New Members Class
October 9

What does it mean to say that Faith Presbyterian Church is “Reformed” in its theology? What exactly does it mean to be “Presbyterian”? Anyone interested in joining Faith Church or in learning more about our doctrine and ministry is invited to the New Members Class. We will meet at the Senior Center prior to the worship service on three consecutive Sundays, October 9-23, from 9:00-9:50 am; then, on the fourth Sunday, October 30, we will conclude the class with a special lunch meeting at the Grishams’ home.

Attendance at all three classes is required for all who want to join Faith Church, whether by initial profession of faith in Jesus Christ or by letter of transfer from another church; and is encouraged for all those seeking to deepen their understanding of the faith they already confess. On a Sunday in November, all those who’ve completed the course and wish to become members will be presented before the congregation and received into the membership of Faith Presbyterian Church. At that time, any among this group who have never been baptized will receive the sacrament.

Movie Night Under the Stars!

Invite a friend and plan to join us Friday, October 14, 7:00 pm, at the Wittekinds’ home, for our annual “Movie Night under the Stars” event. This year we'll enjoy Kung Fu Panda II.

Light the Night Walk, October 29

The Light the Night Walk is scheduled for Saturday, October 29, 4:30 pm, at Bucks County Community College. This is the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s annual evening fundraising Walk to celebrate and commemorate lives touched by cancer. Funds raised support the following mission: “to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.” For each of the past three years, members of Faith have staffed the registration and other volunteer tables at this event. To help with setup and supplies, sign your name to the volunteer list located at the back table.

"First Sunday," November 6

On the “First Sunday” of every other month, there is a luncheon following the communion service, to which all are invited for a time of food and fellowship. This is a great opportunity for visitors and new attendees to meet people and to enjoy good fellowship in a relaxed atmosphere. Welcome!

(Mark your calendars: The next First Sunday luncheon that would ordinarily have been scheduled for October has been pushed back a month on account of other fellowship events in October; therefore, the next First Sunday is scheduled for November 6.)
