Dear FPCA family,

Thank you for your flexibility around worship after last week’s storm had us again making weather-related decisions.  For many of us, this one had less of an impact than we worried, but we had to make plans in time to communicate them. I am grateful for your understanding and flexibility.

We held the business portion of our Annual Meeting after worship, covering the time-sensitive action items that needed to be addressed, but we moved the discussion items to a townhall that will take place this week.  We will have a combined English service at 10:00 a.m. followed by the important townhall for the whole congregation in the sanctuary at about 11:00 a.m. The luncheon being provided by the Mission Action Teams will take place after the meeting.

If you need to worship on-line, the Arabic service will be broadcast at 10:00 a.m. on Facebook, and the English service will be broadcast that the same time on YouTube. The townhall will be broadcast on this private link. 

It will be good to be together for worship, conversation, and fellowship, and especially good to break bread at the Lord’s Table and our own tables, celebrating our unity as the Body of Christ.

Peace,

We Give Because Christ First Gave to Us

We give to support the ministries of First Presbyterian Church Allentown because we cannot imagine our lives without the life changing experiences that happen here.
