Wednesday Night Live
Wednesday Night Live (WNL) is for everyone! The Rev. Dr. Tara Bulger will lead adults on a journey through the Gospel of Mark starting at 5:30. Youth are invited to come at 5:00 to prepare for the Christmas Musical, or come at 6:15 just for dinner with friends at the youth table. Youth Small Groups meet after WNL from 7:00 - 8:00. Children K-5th grade come from 5:00 - 7:00 for Bible Study, Children’s Choir and work on the Christmas Musical, Dinner, and an after dinner fun activity. Preschoolers (2 yrs, 3 yrs, or 4 yrs) have lots of fun with a special music lesson using color bells with Dr. Patricia Hacker and their own Bible study where they learn to do the things that Jesus did and asks us to do!
The registration fee helps to defray the cost of dinner. This semester we are catering in from restaurants such as Olive Garden, Little Rosie’s, and Tenders!

Intergenerational Mission Night
All are invited to participate in the mission project which culminates at our October 20 Intergenerational Mission Night event! Everyone – all ages - can participate in some way.
This year we are supporting the Second Mile Development ministry by hosting a new toy drive for The Neighborhood Store’s yearly Santa Shop. This popular ministry allows parents the excitement of picking out and purchasing the perfect brand-new toy for their child at a fraction of the retail price. Last year they had more customers than ever before, and they anticipate the same situation this year due to inflation.
You can participate by purchasing new toys to donate. If you need ideas, ask your children or grandchildren, or go to Second Mile’s Amazon Wishlist. Find the link to this wish list below. You can bring your toy donations to our October 20 Intergenerational Mission Night event or bring them earlier and put them in marked bins in Fellowship Hall.
Intergenerational Mission Night is fun! We’ll gather for dinner at 5:00, work together to sort and prepare the toys for donation, make thank you cards for the workers at The Neighborhood Store, and bless the results of our outreach project and the families who will receive the toys. Some will then head off to The Neighborhood Store to deliver our donations and tour the facility with the Director.
All ages are encouraged to participate! Please register so we can plan for dinner.
Trunk or Treat
Trunk or Treat is so much fun for the children of our church, the friends they invite, and our specially invited guests - the families of First Friends Preschool and Second Mile Preschool! We’ll have hot dogs, popcorn, decorated trunks, music, and super fun games on the lawn! If you would like to decorate your trunk, donate candy, or help in any way to make this wonderful event happen, contact Kathy Gillmore at dce@fpchsv.org or make a note on the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board at church.
Advent Workshop
This annual event in Fellowship Hall during the Sunday School hour is for all ages to make an ornament and enjoy refreshments and fellowship. Save the date!
