October 2024 Rundown

Monthly Rundown

Church Chix Socials

The Chix had a fabulous time at their September social when they dined at Narrow Bridge. There were six Chix in attendance and they found the food to be excellent and the conversation lively. The next social is planned for Thursday, October 3rd at 6pm when we’ll be dining on the East Side of town at Mackinaw’s Grill & Spirits located at 2925 Voyager Drive. There’s a sign up sheet on the bulletin board or you can call (920) 437-8121 to RSVP or email office@firstpresgreenbay.org.

2024 Back To School Drive

Back to School Drive

Since Tank Elementary School is now closed, this year our Back to School Drive benefited students at Lincoln Elementary School. Members of First Presbyterian were once again very generous as we filled Stephanie Fahringer’s jeep and delivered everything before school started. THANK YOU to everyone for your generosity!

Dinner for 2 @ the U

Our event for UWGB students held annually at the Mauthe Center was a huge success! We had quite a few students in attendance and all were very appreciative of the dinner we offered. Thank you to everyone who donated food items and those who volunteered to help serve!

Blessings of the Backpacks

More backpacks, purses, tote bags and briefcases than ever were piled up in the chancel area of the Sanctuary and blessed on our Kick-Off Sunday on September 8th. Each piece of “baggage” blessed was given a special scripture tag to clip on, with the reminder to carry our faith with us however we carry the rest of our “stuff” in our daily lives. If you missed it, Pastor Katie still has some scripture tags if you’d like to receive this reminder.  

September Fourth Sunday Forum Recap

Our Fourth Sunday Forum returned on September 22nd when our speaker for the month of September was Outreach Committee Member and Board Member of the Presbyterian Pantry, Stephanie Fahringer. Stephanie shared with us stories about how the Pantry affects the lives of Pantry guests along with the Pantry’s history and the number of families that they impact in the community.

N.E.W. Pride Festival 2024

Our congregation was represented along with several other open and welcoming churches at the Green Bay Pride Festival on Saturday September 21st. We handed out stickers and rainbow chip cookies along with information about each church and their welcome for members of the LGBTQ community. Check out our photo gallery!
