High School Youth Group Schedule Change
Starting on Sunday September 28th, our high school youth group will have a slightly revised schedule. Students can still eat anytime before 6:30pm but youth group will not start until 7:00pm. We will plan to be done no later than 8:30pm. Also, starting this week high school Act II will meet at 12:30pm after worship on Sundays in the Fireside room at the church. We will provide a small meal and hope that you can join us for our time of study and discipleship.

Markers of the Covenant – A series on the 10 Commandments
Most Christians claim that the 10 Commandments are “extremely important,” though most also can’t name them all. What are they, who are they for, what do they mean, and why does it matter? Join us beginning Sept 11 as we begin a sermon series on the 10 Commandments which will also be a Sunday School and Recharge Wednesday class with follow-up discussion.

Football Breakfasts
Again this year, First Presbyterian Church will be hosting breakfast and team devotionals on varsity game days. This has been a great experience for us and we are thankful for the opportunity to welcome the team. The numbers have grown steadily and we are expecting well over 75 young men at each meal. In order to keep up with the demand, we need your help. This can involve donating food, cooking, serving, or coordinating volunteers. If you are interested in being a part of a breakfast team, call 336-1649, check the sign up sheet in the narthex or sign up on our website at https://fpcspiritlake.org/football-breakfasts/

Autumn Soup, Sandwich & Pie Supper
The Soup, Sandwich & Pie Supper is right around the corner and there are a lot of slots to fill. The sign-up sheet is located in the narthex. We need your help to make this soup supper a success.

New Member Recognition
For those of you who have already made the commitment to join First Presbyterian Church and those of you still in the decision making process, the Membership Committee wants you to know that new members will be recognized on October 23^rd.
