Sundays, 10 am for Worship

Worship with us on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. 

• First Pres' session has reopened the sanctuary for in-person worship. For the safety of the congregation, new operational policies and procedures (described below) have been implemented.

• Our worship services are also available virtually! 
  • This week's bulletin is posted in the "Bulletins" section. 
  • A Facebook Live broadcast of the service is available on our Facebook page to allow you to watch it at the same time as those at the church. A post that indicates the service is live will appear at 9:50 a.m. 
  • Recorded services are available on our Facebook page under Videos or on our church website under "Worship with Us" under Sermons / Services. 

Please review the documents (below & attached) carefully before you come to church for worship or any other purpose. A few key points for attending in person:

• If you are exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms such as fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose other than from allergies, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea – PLEASE STAY HOME.
• After considerable thought and research, we decided not to take temperatures of those entering the building at this time. There doesn’t seem to be a prevailing opinion one way or the other on this.
• Wearing a mask is required under the state-wide mandate, so please comply.
• There will be a sign - up sheet instead of friendship pads. Please sign in using your own pen or one of the sanitized pens provided.
• Masks will be available at the main entrance and sanitizer will be available throughout the building.
• If for ANY reason you are uncomfortable about returning to live worship at this time, please stay home and instead participate via the Internet.

First Pres Zoom Gatherings on Sundays 

We continue to have virtual gatherings through Zoom - video on your computer or smartphone, or listen/participate by phone. We have a Zoom fellowship gathering at 11:00 a.m. each Sunday.

Those who don't have the ability to go online will still be able to call in with the information provided. We hope that you will join us for the next best thing to being able to gather in person. It is great to see people's faces - and hear their voices! (Marj Krause Crowl is on the phone in the photo.)

Join Zoom Meetings by following the instructions in the email you received, most recently on 8/13.

Sunday School is happening in a different format at this time, with pages of the curriculum sent with an email to parents each week.

If there are any parents who want to submit their email addresses to be included in the Sunday School emails, please do so by emailing Brenda at bgehhubbcap@yahoo.com.

In general, Sunday School is for pre-K through 5th grade.

September 8 & 22, 10 am - noon

The Presbyterian Pantry continues to operate during the pandemic, with changes in how the groceries are provided to our guests. The procedure to provide food for the following pantries will follow the same process: everything will be pre-bagged and distributed at the entrance to the door on Howard St on normal pantry days (2nd and 4th Tuesdays from 10 am to noon.)

This provides for the least amount of person-to-person contact, as guests will pick up the bag(s) on the sidewalk table and bring them to their vehicles. Guests should continue to remain at least 6 feet apart in line. Masks are required.

A message on behalf of the Presbyterian Pantry Board requesting donations of any canned and dry foods. Donations can be dropped off Mondays through Thursdays at the church office between 9:30 am and 2 pm. Because neither the Letter Carriers' food drive or the Scouting food drive have been able to reschedule, and we have depended on those food drives in the past to help support Pantry, we are concerned about having enough supplies. You can also support the pantry through your purchases at Amazon Smile: Shop at http://smile.amazon.com/ch/47-3189239 and AmazonSmile donates to Presbyterian Pantry of Green Bay! 

Due to COVID-19, Feed My Starving Children has suspended all MobilePacks through February 2021. Although the FMSC Green Bay MobilePack will not take place this fall due to coronavirus, there is still an urgent need to raise money to feed people all around the world. The World Food Program estimates that 265 million people could be on the brink of starvation due to the effects of COVID-19. By God's grace, meals will continue to be packed by machine or by FMSC staff at one of the stand-alone packing sites in Minnesota.

The Green Bay MobilePack, which is made up of a partnership of 11 area churches, has set a goal of raising $125,000 so that a half-million meals can be packed and shipped all over the world to those that truly need it. Approximately 1/3 of the funds have been raised to date. The deadline to donate is October 31, 2020. Please keep FMSC and starving children in your prayers and consider a gift to FMSC through our church if you are able. Thank you on behalf of children everywhere!
