Youth Fellowship will be doing a Food Drive for the Saunders County Food Pantry. We are asking for donations to be brought to church! We are also doing a city-wide drive on Oct. 29th from 4 to 6. If you have a food donation you would like us to pick up, call Lynae Callan at 402-490-8229. Our goal is to gather 500 items to help restock the Food Pantry for the holidays. Thank you for your support!

The front entry wall of the church has become a Prayer wall and a Sponsor wall. The Prayer wall will give the members of the congregation a chance to add a prayer to the frames on the wall. The prayers can be written with dry erase marker and then can be erased and new prayers may be added. The Sponsor wall is a way to support our children of the church. There are envelopes placed on the “clothesline” that have a variety of ways that a family could provide sponsorship to the children of the church. Look at the envelopes, decide how you may be able to help, take off the envelope, put the money or check in (checks to First Presbyterian Church and in the Memo write “Sponsor Wall”) and place it into the offering plate. We will be able to use the sponsorship to help grow our Church’s Foundation! Special thanks to Jennifer Stevens for painting and creating the wall with the assistance of Jason Stevens!

Boutique: A Boutique will be held on October Saturdays from 10:00 A.M. to Noon in Torrens Fellowship Hall. You will find new and gently used ladies’ clothing, shoes, purses, and jewelry for all occasions at super bargain prices! This is a Food Pantry Fundraiser.

The Deacons will host a 5th Sunday Potluck in October. It’s almost here! Ham-o-ween and Spooky Scalloped Potatoes will start the hauntingly good Potluck on Sunday, October 29th! Please bring a favorite dish to share and join us in Torrens Hall for food and fellowship.

The Session voted to send $1,000 from the Caring, Growing, Sharing Fund to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance relief from hurricane Harvey and Irma.
