Our Knit and Crochet group welcomes you to stop by any Wednesday between 10 a.m. and noon. If you’ve ever wanted to learn to knit or crochet, this is a great group to show you how. Yarn and needles are available. A bonus is the delightful conversation, hot coffee and usually homemade cookies. Several participants are currently working on caps for the children served by N.O.R.O.C. in Tulcea Romania. The motto of the group is, “Come when you can. Leave when you must!”

Dear Friends of the Frances Buzard Presbyterian Food Pantry, during the month of June, we would like to ask you to donate boxes of cereal. We distribute approximately 30 boxes of cereal each week. This is a large expense for us and some of our local stores are discontinuing their store brands which we purchased frequently. Please consider buying an extra box or two of cereal when shopping and donate it to the pantry by dropping it in the Food Pantry basket near the sanctuary.
We would like to thank the mid-high group at FCPC for volunteering at the pantry on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. They worked along side our volunteers filling orders, stocking shelves, and repackaging. They returned the following day to clean windows. We appreciate these hard working mid-highs and Kristen very much.
In May, the Food Pantry served 118 families, for a total of 311 people—174 adults, 45 senior citizens, and 92 children ages 1-18.

THE INQUIRERS CLASS answers questions new members and visitors might have about FCPC and the Presbyterian faith. What do Presbyterians believe? How does our church work? A great class for those interested in joining, new members, or just those who want to know more about the church! All are welcome. This class, led by our senior pastor, Cliff Stewart, is an informal gathering that meets in the office area opposite Faith Hall (look for the sign). The Inquirer’s class will meet during the Sunday School hour (9:45-10:45 a.m.) over the course of the next several weeks. Feel free to drop in even if you happened to miss previous sessions!

Summer Mission Trips for Youth and Emerging Adults - Prayer partners and financial backers needed!
Why should I become a Prayer Partner and/or a Financial Supporter for a young Presbyterian missionary?
Two mission trips involving extensive travel are occurring this summer. One is for the Senior-High members of the Youth Group to Nederland, Colorado from July 7-14, and the other is for Emerging Adults to Tulcea, Romania from July 25-August 6.
Our first need is for prayer. We need your prayers for safe travels, energy, good attitudes, open hearts ready to serve, and healthy bodies while these young Presbyterians are on their service trips.
Another need is for financial support. Not every Youth or Emerging Adult member can pay the full amount for the trip even after FCPC subsidizes the costs ($300 to go to Colorado and between $1000 and $2000 for Romania). Both the Youth and Emerging Adults have mission trip scholarship funds from which we draw so that trip costs can be reduced for each participant.
What does being a Prayer Partner entail?
When you sign up as a Prayer Partner and/or Financial Supporter, you will be assigned one of the young Presbyterian missionaries (YPM) via email. We are asking you to commit to pray for your assigned YPM everyday of his or her service trip. To help you do this, you will receive a photo of your YPM, a short bio letting you know a little more about the YPM you are supporting, and details about the service trip he or she is attending so you will know what days to pray and have some ideas of what to pray about.
To these ends, it is our goal to have at least 19 prayer partners (with the option of financial support towards scholarship funds) so that each Youth and Emerging Adult is lifted up in prayer while they are serving in Nederland and Tulcea.
If I am choosing to be a Financial Supporter along with being a Prayer Partner, how much should I give?
We would like each financial supporter to give at least $100. Of course, larger or smaller sums are appreciated! Here is some information to help you decide how much you would like to give if you want to give more than $100:
- The cost burden for an Emerging Adult to go to Romania is between $1000 and $2000 depending on where this person attends church. The actual cost per person for Camp Romania is around $4000 leaving between $3000 to $2000 to be covered through fundraising and scholarships.
- The cost burden for a Senior-High Youth Group member to go to Nederland, Colorado is $300. The actual cost per person is around $600 leaving $300 to be covered through the Youth Missions special giving account.

HONOR SOMEONE YOU LOVE with a personalized brick in the meditation garden. The bricks will be used to create a path that will lead past the waterfall and pergola on your way to the gazebo. “What waterfall, pergola and gazebo?” you may ask. The ones that are part of the master plan that will transform the corner of Beech St. and N. 4th into a beautiful meditation garden for our friends in the community as well as ourselves. Proceeds from the bricks will be used to create this reality—starting with concrete sidewalks throughout the garden. Stop by the display in the foyer to see the master plan and consider who you will honor or memorialize with a commemorative brick.
