Stewardship in Action July
NEXT issue
Have you ever wondered what happens when you place
Presby
a check or cash in the offering plate, mail it to the office,
or give online, how is that money used to carry out
Christ's call for the mission and ministry of FPC? Over Press
26
the next few months, we will be highlighting each session DEADLINE
committee's ministry to remind us of what is possible with
your generous gifts. This week is Congregational Care.
Please see below for more information and please contact Barb or
anyone on the committee if you wish to get involved and help out.
Thank you for your generosity and support of FPC!

Congregational Care
Committee
Congregational care provides
comfort and support to the
members of First Presbyterian
Church and their families. We
show God's love and serve the
needs of others. There are 13
members of our committee. Barb Manyet, Jo Alexander, Jayne Black, Dolores Daidone, Barb Heister,
Patti Koehler, Elizabeth Lotspeich, Anna Long, Sarah Messmer, Ailene Ridiman, Judy Sower, Karen
Sower, Jenny Zell.
Some of our members have certain duties but all will work and do whatever is needed for our
congregation.
Some examples of the ways the committee helps the congregation are:
· Patti Koehler creates her own cards and sends them for illness, birth, as well as cards to shut-ins for
their birthdays.
· Rose on the altar in honor of a new birth.
· Jayne Black gets the meal train moving and asks people in the congregation to provide meals for
families dealing with illness, death, and birth.
· Sarah Messmer orders a blanket to give to the parents at the time of a baptism or a cross or book for
an older child.
· Congregational care organizes drinks and treats to be served outside after church during July.
· Also Sarah Messmer orders flowers from ft. Thomas florists to be given to mothers on mother's day.
· We check the supplies in the kitchen and make sure everything is up to date.
· Another thing this year, we provided treats for Pastor Samantha’s installation, and we also provided,
through the meal train, meals for Pastor Samantha and her family while she is on maternity leave.
It gives us the opportunity to be a part of God’s work to care for and show love to our congregation!
We are very happy to be doing this!!!
Worship and Music Committee
The Worship and Music Committee provides whatever is necessary for our worship services. Funds
are used to provide the sheet music that our musicians prepare and share with us each week as well
as our guest artists who play at our Christmas services. Since we are making our services available
online, we also pay an annual fee for licensing. We find liturgists and other helpers each week for the
worship service, including pulpit supply when the pastor is away and flower donations for the front of
the sanctuary. Your valuable donations also make possible annual needs such as organ
maintenance, piano tuning, palms for Palm Sunday, candles and oil for services, and organizing
Worship in the Park.
We need volunteers each week! If interested, please reach out to Emily Detmer-Goebel if you're
interested in helping the committee or Dave Zeng if you want to be involved with the music element of
our worship service.

Online Giving
Our church is very excited to offer online giving, It is an easy and
convenient way to give your tithes and
offerings using a debit or credit card or electronic funds transfer.
The service, which is hosted by the Presbyterian Foundation, will be easily
accessed through the church website. You can rest easy knowing that the
transaction is safe and secure, and your gift will be available to our ministry
immediately, with no waiting periods.
Online giving offers benefits both for you and for the church:
You can save a trip to the ATM on Sunday morning and avoid
forgetting your checkbook or having to quickly fill out your check to
make your gift.
You can also set up recurring donations to continue giving faithfully
even on weeks you are not able to attend services.
The church benefits from a more steady and reliable flow of gifts.
Work to process checks and cash gifts is reduced when gifts are made
online instead.
Be on the outlook for training sessions to help you learn to give online.
It is quite easy! As we continue to grow the culture of stewardship and
generosity in our church, we will include online giving as an important tool.
Your is Christ,
Stewardship Committee
