First Presbyterian Church November 2018 2017 (Sponsored by Church Women United) Thankfulness November 2 6 pm Methodist Church Thankfulness seems the appropriate word for this month as our nation celebrates Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 22. Thankfulness is also the word in my heart for the people of First Presbyterian Church as you all have welcomed me to Princeton! Your kindness and generosity has blessed me in many ways. You have done an amazing overhaul to the manse-painted, bunny wrangled, fixed furniture, helped me to unpack and get settled and put so many finishing around the home- your love has left its fingerprints in the home and on my heart. Plus offering of friendship, laughter and joy along the way has made this transition all the easier. Thank you for your hearty and warm welcome! I am delighted to be here and am enjoying our ministry together. Presbyterian Women provide salads on the third Monday of every month for Our Table (a free dinner every Monday night supported by community churches and donations) held at the Methodist Church. If you are able to provide a salad, please sign up on the bulletin board in the Narthex or see Pam Cochran. "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Colossians 2:6-7 Blessings, Pastor Angie Installation Service for Pastor Angie will be held on Sunday December 2 at 2pm. All are invited
