As you know, our church supports the vital work of Habitat for Humanity through our annual Spring fundraising campaign. In addition, for many years we have provided work crews to help with construction of individual homes. In 2023, our Presby Wonder Women participated in the Women Build effort, and this Spring we provided a landscaping crew for a new home in Concord. Our church Benevolences include a $5,000 line item which goes directly to construction of an individual home, and our members are offered the opportunity to participate in that construction. So now it’s time to put our muscle where our money is! Our congregation has committed to providing a 10-member work crew on Thursday, December 12, for a home being built on Wilson Street in Kannapolis. This is a fun all-day (9:00 AM to 3:30 PM) activity that anyone 18 years or older can enjoy. We will be helping the regular work crew of Weekday Warriors to finish out the inside of the house. No skill is required, but enthusiasm is expected.

First Presbyterian celebrated the first day of Adv

First Presbyterian celebrated the first day of Advent on Sunday, December 1. We enjoyed hot chocolate and fresh popped corn, made cranberry popcorn garlands and pinecone peanut butter birdseed treats. Christmas carols around the tree culminates in the lighting of the Christmas Tree on the Fellowship House lawn.

To all who have lost their way,

To all who have lost their way,
who have given up,
who have been let down or left behind,
return to me with all your heart, says the Lord.
I am abounding in love, and determined to pour out hope through voices old and young, unexpected and overlooked.

Let us pray:
Startle us again with your hope, O God,
as we wait and watch for your Son to be born in us again. Amen.

Gracious God, we give you abundant thanks.
