Hot Dog Outreach!  9/19/10  (12:30 PM) - Call 762-2824 for more information.

On Monday morning, August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated our community. The church received 2-3 feet of water and the homes of most members were heavily damaged or destroyed. Nevertheless, on Sunday, September 4, a small group gathered outside at the church to praise and worship our God. Interim pastor, the Rev. Dr. Roger Green, used Psalm 40 as his text ("I waited for the Lord; who bent down and heard my cry, drew me out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud of the swamp, set my feet upon rock, steadied my steps, and put a new song in my mouth, a hymn to our God...").

Our community and church were inundated with love, support, and supplies and we were constantly amazed at the kindness of strangers from all over the U.S.

"Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity."

Colossians 3:14

FPC is planning a second mission trip to Haiti from December 6-10, 2010.  If you are interested please contact Joseph or Charleigh Powell at 497-0710 or coastiejoe@embarqmail.com.
