Wedding Invitation
The Lovealls would like to invite our friends and family at First Presbyterian to celebrate with us at Bailey Loveall's wedding Friday, June 2nd – 3:00pm
At the church.
Cupcake reception to follow in Fellowship Hall Please RSVP at https://fpcspiritlake.org/bailey-loveall-wedding/ Or call the office and let Cheri or Clint know at 336-1649. If you have already responded, thank you and you do not need to do so again.
Bailey was 6 when we moved to Spirit Lake and though she remembers Texas fondly, this is her home and you all are her church family. It may be crowded, but we would gladly have any of you that can make it join us at her wedding.
New Church Directory & Family Portrait Opportunity
Believe it or not, it is time to refresh our church directory once again! The Membership committee invites you to sign up for a photography sitting within one of our two sessions from June 26th-29th and July 19th & 20th. Every family that participates will receive one free 8"x10" picture as well as a free printed church directory. The photo directory is an important tool that helps connect our church family across our two services and also serves as a great point of contact for our newest members. Please signup for your family's appointment right away. You can either call in your reservation to the church office or complete it online at https://fpcspiritlake.org/directory/
