First Presbyterian Church News (Clarksville, TN)

The young adult group is looking forward to floating the Red River together on Sunday afternoon, July 21! Please let Hannah Cruse know ASAP if you're coming so we can get you registered with Float Ya Boat for $15 (all inclusive). The trip should be around 3 hrs total and conclude at Billy Dunlop Park in Clarksville.

Spend an evening with Ben Hickson (music educator) and Hannah Cruse (FPC Director of Music) learning basic rhythms, music notation, sight singing, and vocal health. For complete beginners through intermediates who want to sing hymns confidently or join their local choir. To serve as many people as possible, we are not charging, but please do register by August 21st. Let us empower you to sing with joy! https://subsplash.com/srhq/lb/ev/+ry692pq

All those who hunger and thirst for the Lord, you are welcome at the Table. By receiving communion, we are renewed and empowered to be the church--the body of Christ--in the world.  The sacrament of Holy Communion is shared during 10 am worship every first Sunday of the month.

The Congregational Care Committee invites you to join them in sending cards of warm wishes this month to Dale Childers and Danny & Janie McGregor. Addresses can be obtained through the online directory or office.

Our July 14 Second Sunday Lunch is an “Indoor Picnic." Bring your favorite dessert to share with the group. The church will provide the burgers, dogs, and sides.

We are seeking elders who would like to take Home Communion to our shut-ins. These members of our church greatly appreciate the visit and the opportunity to participate in this sacrament. We participate in Home Communion quarterly (February, May, August, and November) and send out teams of two. Volunteers do not have to be current active elders and will be trained on what to do before participating. If enough sign up, the commitment would only be once or twice a year. Please contact Rhonda Banasiak if interested.

Come see the next exhibit in the Chapel on Art Walk, July 11, from 5 to 8 pm. Artist will be announced soon! Artist Statement: My name is Karley Sugg and I am a high school senior here in Clarksville. This exhibit will feature my AP 2-D Art and Design portfolio that I created over the 2023-2024 school year. The collection features 10 pieces that showcase my journey while growing up through the eyes of my younger self in order to capture my strongest emotions. These moments, however big or small, have dramatically shaped who I am today. Through this, I hope to create a connection between the art and the viewer’s own journey to provide hope and understanding of how precious one’s life is.
