November Sermon Series

As we are plunged into a chilly Fall we will finish our series in Revelation and look forward to the season of Advent. Starved for joy and fellowship, we might be tempted to overschedule and be under-present. This advent we encourage you to hurry up and slow down. Be presence with who you are with and enjoy the wonder of God made flesh. As you prepare for the holiday of your dreams, remember that finding peace, real peace, is not in the satisfaction of our senses, but the comfort of our hearts that only God can supply.

SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN AGES KINDERGARTEN – 5TH GRADE

Children meet in Fellowship Hall at the start of worship. They return to worship after the sermon to sit with parents or Ms. Tina.

Sunday school begins at the start of worship. Our lessons are from the Gospel Project curriculum starting with Genesis. Each week’s lessons bridge the Old and New Testaments, helping children see Jesus throughout! We are also working on worship music skills and songs.

We are excited to soon have all children return to their regular classrooms downstairs once the rooms are cleaned – we are hoping by the end of May. At that time nursery and preschool children will also return to their classrooms. Please see Kate Kirkey, Deb Bard, or Tina Ritchie with any questions, and watch for updated information!

The mission of the Fenton First Presbyterian Church’s Music Department is to present music that joyfully (Psalm 98:1-8) and humbly (Micah 6:8) praises God and builds up our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:11-13). We use our gifts, knowing that this is not a performance platform or for our own self-glorification, but to glorify the Lord (1 Peter 4:10-11). If you’d like to get a better idea of the mission of the Music Department, check out this very concise and powerful article on using our God-given talents: https://www.ramseysolutions.com/personal-growth/using-your-god-given-talents.  The bottom line: we’re here to Glorify Christ and give HIM credit for our gifts and talents! 

Our Adult Chancel Choir and Handbells Choir runs September – December and February – May, meeting once a week and providing music in the worship services 1-2x/month. As we navigate music and COVID, our programming year continues to look a bit different than “normal” and the ways in which we present our music are differing as well (sometimes live, making recordings, etc.). We do our best to keep everyone as safe as we can while still finding creative and meaningful ways to keep the music going!

Other opportunities: There are always ways to serve through instrumental music, vocal solos, small ensembles, helping with youth and children’s music programming, etc.!  Please contact our Music Director if you’d like to provide your help or music or if you have any questions!
