What's Happening at FPC Milton
Sunday Morning Worship, Sundays, 9 a.m., Sanctuary.
At First Presbyterian Church, Milton, we understand our worship. not as performance before a congregational audience, but rather an authentic communal seeking and delighting in the presence of God. Through hymn, scripture, message, and prayer we come together in this time set apart, to feel, believe, heal, delight, commune, connect, belong and express our gratitude to the Maker of the Universe. Our motto is Everyone, Always.
Sunday Morning Fellowship, following worship, Fellowship Hall.
Don’t miss yummy breakfast food, coffee and even better conversation and company immediately following worship. This is “potluck style” but bringing something is not required. Come as you are with whatever you have. It’s a laid back time of great connection and easy relationship.
Growing Deeper, Sundays, 11 a.m.- 12 p.m., Fellowship Hall.
This hour after our worship is devoted to understanding, more deeply, the way our faith connects to the world around us, what the Bible really says in its full and rich context, why we do what we do in the life of the church, and other special topics. The study usually begins with the appointed gospel passage proclaimed in worship, asking participants for their own thoughts and reflections on the passage, what it means to them, and how God might be calling them through it. The emphasis here is on authentic, safe, and exploratory conversation between friends.
First Fridays at First, Monthly, First Fridays, 6 p.m. Contact church to confirm up-to-date seasonal schedules and changes.
First Fridays are our time to relax, let loose, and have fun together while also experiencing some new things. Our Fridays rotate between "Open Mic" nights, game nights and a kind of freeform "painting with a twist". No matter which activity is scheduled, this evening is devoted to sharing our favorite things, creating beauty, laughter, bonds, and deep thought. We invite all participants to bring your favorite games, share original and/or favorite works of poetry or other literature, music--recorded or performed, or musings/ponderings that you think will enrich the community. Contact the church for updated "rotations" between open mic, art, and games.
Elmira’s Garden, Announced Seasonally in worship, contact the church for up-to-date schedules.
Join us to plant, grow, harvest and enjoy vegetables and flowers in our own garden just west of the fellowship hall. Work days are announced seasonally, but come any time to water, tend, or pick. Invite friends and relatives.
Pop-Up Hot Dog Ministry, Monthly. 10:30 a.m. Contact church for up-to-date schedules.
Following the Spirit, our hot dog ministry is a straight-forward, no frills, no excuses way to feed people who are hungry. Join us to accomplish what Jesus said most often - feed the hungry. It feels great!
Love and Lights, Annually in November. Contact church for up-to-date details.
Though Love and Lights began as an annual fundraiser, it has become so much more. A congregation replete with chefs and artists has to make a meal and create beauty. So, once a year we gather in the middle of Elmira Street, in front of our sanctuary. We eat fine food, enjoy autumn weather, relish in each other's company. We greet and get to know neighbors and form new bonds, and we raise money that will continue and strengthen Jesus' ministry of belonging in this place and time. Love and Lights is a special event in that it not only provides resources for the healing of community, it enacts it. Look out for details to join us for this annual event as guest and/or participant.
