The life of faith doesn’t end after worship on Sunday.

We are out there in the real world day in and day out,
sharing Christ’s love.

So, come to FPC on Wednesdays,
not out of obligation,
but to be recharged for your life in faith.

Hear or make some music, have dinner,
be a part of an evening of fellowship,
study and worship.

Get inspired. Get fed. Get infused.
This is Wednesdays @ First!

Whiz Kids

2:15 pm - 3:45 pm, Snapfinger Elementary School

Children thrive with attention, and sometimes making a difference in a child’s life is as simple as a donating an hour and a half each week.Through the “Whiz Kids” program, the First Presbyterian-Hillside Partnership Ministry tutors in reading and math and is always eager for more volunteers. Contact Connie Lee at (404) 228-7741 or here for more information.

Game Gurus

Dinner

5:00 - 6:30 pm, Fifield Hall

Let’s face it. You don’t have time to cook. Plus, there’s never enough time with friends.

We invite you to do a little something different on Wednesday nights. Skip the trip to the farmer’s market and leave the cooking and clean up to us. All you have to do is stroll on in to Fifield Hall where dinner is ready and new friends as well as old are waiting.

Sit down. Breathe easy. Relax. Dine. Enjoy.

Adult Studies and Worship

Mid-Week Worship

6:30 – 7:30 pm, Reception Room or Winship Chapel

Wednesday dinner, fellowship and worship gently creates a bubble of sacred space and time.
