The Life of the Church

Alphabet of Gratitude—This November, we practice gratitude together using the alphabet! Materials for all ages are available in the lobby and we will also share access via email. To receive daily prayer prompts in November, text the word “gratitude” to 270-200-8560.

In worship on Nov. 12th, 2023, we invite you to submit your stewardship pledge for the coming year. A pledge is an estimate of how much you think you will give financially to the church in the year ahead (you can estimate based on weekly, monthly, or annually). You can pledge at any time, not just on Giving Sunday. Please keep an eye out for a mailing from the church with more information including your 2024 pledge card. We will also have paper copies available in worship and in the church office, and you can even pledge online on our website.

We will be honoring All Saints Day on Sunday, November 5. If you would like the name of a loved one who has died in the past year (since November of last year) listed in the bulletin, please indicate their name on the Connection Card or contact the church office at admin@etownpres.org by Tuesday, October 31.

On Thanksgiving Day, area churches and Helping Hand of Hope are co-sponsoring a Thanksgiving Dinner to be hosted at St. James School. (401 Robinbrooke Blvd. Elizabethtown) This meal is available to those who are unable to prepare a meal of their own. If you would like to have a meal, contact Helping Hand of Hope at 270-769-3092. Delivery and carryout are available. The cutoff date is November 20, 2023. If you would like to volunteer your time for preparation, serving, or meal delivering sign up via 270-268-6246. First Presbyterian Church is responsible for 16 turkeys and 25 pies. Turkeys are $35 and pies are $6. We will be collecting money to purchase these. The last day to give will be November 16, 2023.
