Fellowship and Activities
If anything characterizes First Presbyterian it is the sense of family and fellowship which is found in all the activities which we do together. From continuing groups within the congregation to special activities and gatherings, opportunities to commune with fellow members abound. Some of these are displayed on this page, but it should be understood that everything that happens at First Presbyterian is seen as a chance to be with good friends and witness to the joy that comes from being in Spirit-led fellowship with others. |
Helping One Another meet monthly for bible study, fellowship, prayer, and programs. H.O.A provides pools of willing hands (and money) to undertake special projects for the church. They have landscaped the church, provided funding for an Assisted Listening System in the sanctuary.
They also provide people and funding for many of the other activities of the church - the church picnic and the Peach Festival, for example.

Food and Fellowship - On the THIRD TUESDAY of every month, First Presbyterian serves lunch to anyone who enters our doors between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Church members bring the food and beverages to the tables and bus the tables between sittings. A free will offering plate is available. 50% of the money contributed goes to the local food bank and 50% goes to Presbyterian Hunger Relief Program. We are currently serving between 90 and 100 meals per session. *There is no lunch in July & August*. |

Coffee Hour is held after communion and several other times during the year. It is lways well attended (most of church attendees that Sunday stay for the fellowship) these informal gatherings illustrate the friendly family atmosphere of our congregation and is a always a nice time of fellowship. |
