What is The Next Step? Our youth, so vital to the life of the church, have long needed a state-of-the-art Christian Education Center in which to worship, study, grow and provide a witness to their faith. We celebrated the completion of this major project with a dedication ceremony after worship Sunday, February 10. Our new CEC provides areas for study, research, discussion and worship, and it includes the latest in lighting and audio/visual technology. While use of this area is primarily intended for use by our Junior and Senior High School programs, it is also used by many FPC Newport organizations and groups for meetings and conference type settings. We are thankful for the committed members and friends who have donated the needed funds to create our new Christian Education Center.
Dinner Club
FPC’s Dinner Club is a great way to get to know the people you see on Sunday while enjoying dinner, brunch or even a night out. When you sign up, you become part of a group of six or eight people who meet at their convenience at least twice during a six-month period. A different person or couple acts as host each time, providing a main dish. Others, if able, bring an appetizer, salad, dessert, or whatever group members decide. It’s informal, always lively, and open to all adults, young or old, single or attached, new to FPC or lifetime members. Please consider joining this group that can transform a Sunday handshake into a lasting friendship.
