Keys
to Faith
A series of workshops designed around age-appropriate concepts
and rituals FPC’s Children’s Ministries thinks every
child should understand. These workshops help children grasp basic
Christian ideas and practices while also encouraging parents to
take an active role in their child’s faith journey in keeping
with the promises made at baptism. Parent support and participation
in this program is of the utmost importance. Children completing
a workshop are awarded a certificate during worship.
Each year of a child’s elementary education is marked by attaining
another Key – The Lord’s Prayer, Communion, Prayer,
Biblical literacy, Stewardship & Service, and Worship Skills.

Interfaith Hospitality Network Quilts
Quilt for the Inter-Faith Hospitality Network families staying
at the manse.
After reading The
QuiltMaker’s Gift by Jeff Brumbeau and Gail de
Marcken, we made a quilt with the help of Lisa Vitkus. In the spirit
of the story, we donated the beautiful quilt to the IFHN committee
for use in the manse when we host families.

Fair Trade Chocolate
Beginning in November 2004, we learned about how the chocolate industry sometimes takes unfair advantage of cocoa farmers, leaving them with too little profit to provide for their families. Because Jesus demands that we care about the misfortunes of others, we learned about a cocoa farming co-op in Ghana that bands together to sell cocoa at a price that will provide them enough profit to send their children to school and feed their families. The chocolate is produced by the Day Chocolate Company and is certified fair trade. We sold chocolate in our congregation to educate people about unfair trade practices. Our profit will benefit a PC(USA) mission partner church in Ethiopia.
