Every year at the end of summer, FPC celebrates families and kids going back to school. We call it "Rally Day." This year's Rally Day will be on Sunday, August 21 . We will start off with complimentary breakfast in the Fellowship Hall at 9:00 am (instead of Sunday School). During 10:00 worship, all the children may come forward during the Children's Moment for a "Blessing of the Backpacks." VBS kids--those who signed up this year and those from 2021--are encouraged to attend and enjoy the festivities! Following worship, Elementary students will have a picnic and pool party.
