Congregational and Annual Meeting on Sunday, February 26th

 

There will be a Congregational Meeting after Worship in the Sanctuary on Sunday, February 26, followed by the Annual Meeting with an Enchilada Dinner in Watkins Fellowship Hall.

 

Annual Meeting and Enchilada Dinner

 

It is once again time for our church annual meeting, and again this year we are privileged to have our youth enchilada donation dinner that day.  It will be a time to celebrate what has happened over this past year and share some of the exciting things we have done and where we are going.   This enchilada dinner is always one of the youth’s bigger fundraisers to help send them on their mission trips.  This year we are going to the Navajo reservation in Arizona, and we are really looking forward to having another life-changing experience.   We hope to see all of you there as we start another exciting year of ministry here at First Presbyterian Church.
