The Hands, Heart, and Feet of Jesus: Dr. Cynthia M. Benz
How can we show people the hands, heart, and feet of Jesus? Well, one way is to serve those in need in our community. In this video, Cindy shares information about our Meals on Wheels toiletry drive, and demonstrates how to prepare a bag for drop off at the PAD.

Worship Opportunities
Due to concerns regarding the coronavirus, in-person services have been suspended until May 10. During this time we will be worshipping remotely via Livestream. Services will include regular liturgy, sermon, hymns, and praise music. Livestream worship will begin Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m.
Throughout the season of Lent, a special offering will be collected for One Great Hour of Sharing. OGHS is the largest way that Presbyterians join together to share God’s love worldwide. Each gift helps to improve the lives of people in challenging situations through rebuilding efforts, sponsoring food security programs, and by partnering with communities to promote self-development. Checks can sent by mail, made out to First Presbyterian Church with “OGHS” in the memo line, or gifts can be given online at www.fpcgastonia.org/giving
