Church World Service-Tool Sunday: Let's  Make a Difference! Contributions to CWS Tools means Church World Service will be ready to help families around the world have the tools they need to build a better life for their families. Like the miracle of the loaves and fish, your gifts to CWS Tools multiply as they are joined by the contributions of other caring congregations, yielding a harvest of caring for those in need. “When people have the tools and supplies they need for a garden, they can grow their own food for their family. That’s why our church supports CWS Tools. We are the type of people who care for our neighbors. With this mission offering, we know we are making a positive difference in many communities.” — Rev. Samantha, First Christian Church

Fellowship of the Least Coin: During the month of June, the Women’s Association is offering the opportunity for our congregation to participate in this vital global ecumenical prayer movement. Through this movement, we are connected to women praying for peace, justice, and reconciliation throughout the world. Each time a prayer is offered, the least coin of that country is set aside and presented as an offering. Special projects are selected by an international committee to receive grants provided by this offering. If you would like to join us in this movement, start collecting your pennies during the month of June. Place them in an envelope marked “Least Coin” and bring them to the church by June 30, 2025.

Juneteenth Celebration: FPC is a proud sponsor of this year’s Juneteenth Celebration on Saturday, June 21, 4:30-8 pm at the Stangl Factory in Flemington, hosted by our friends at Roots, Blooms, & Yards in collaboration with the NAACP. Thanks to your FPC donations, we are helping bring the vibrant energy of Uko African Dance Ensemble from New York for a powerful performance of traditional African dance! Come be part of this joyful community event as we honor freedom, culture, and unity with our Black brothers and sisters. Let’s show up with open hearts and celebrate together. Free and open to all! For more details, reach out to outreach@flemingtonpres.org.

Little Food Pantry Needs: Our Little Food Pantry is so highly used by the community, FPC volunteers restock it four times a week. Our current needs are shelf milk (e.g., Horizon or Parmalot brands or similar), and cans of Chunky soup. Please drop donations off in the Parish House foyer basket, or you can write a check to FPC with LFP in the memo line. You can also donate from our regular inventory list: Small cereal boxes; chicken/tuna packets; Campbell’s soup; nutrition bars; bottled water; canned ravioli/pasta; toothpaste; coffee pods; toothbrushes; shelf milk (small cartons); fruit juice; and tampons. Thank you for shining God’s light! 

Calling All Readers! Maybe you want to try something new! Every Sunday, we need one liturgist to read a scripture passage. There are slots for readers available on upcoming Sundays. Please sign up here.

Be a Greeter! We're looking for friendly faces to welcome people to church on Sunday mornings. If you enjoy meeting new people and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere, we'd love to have you on the greeting team! (this is a greeting-only position for the front door) Whether you can serve once a month or more regularly, we welcome your willingness to volunteer. Interested? Contact worship@flemingtonpres.org. 

Online Worship: Do you worship with us online? When you do, we’d love to know you have joined us by liking or commenting on the video. This helps us develop and maintain connections with everyone in our church community and allows us to report weekly worship attendance accurately. If you are watching with other people, please let us know that as well!

2025 Giving Pledges: As we approach 2025, please consider making a giving pledge for this new year. Pledges allow the church to plan and budget for the coming year by helping us to predict future giving. Pledge cards have been mailed to our members and are available at the church, or you can pledge online at https://www.flemingtonpres.org/pledge. As a reminder, you can make gifts directly online through the link at Giving — Flemington Presbyterian Church. For additional convenience, when giving online, you can set up a recurring payment to the church. You may also want to check with your bank to see if you can set up regular payments directly from your checking account. Giving in this way saves the Church the processing fees from the online portal. Finally, you may wish to see if your employer offers a giving match program that would apply to giving to Flemington Presbyterian. Enrolling in such a program would effectively double each dollar you donate to FPC.

Prayer Requests: If you would like to submit a Prayer Request to be included in the Sunday morning Prayers of the People in worship and/or the Prayer section of the e-newsletter, you have several options:

And remember, our Prayer Chain is YOU! As members of Flemington Presbyterian Church, we ask that you practice the spiritual discipline of holding one another up in prayer regularly,  especially those who are in a particular time of struggle.  Let us actively care for each other by holding each other up to God, praying for God’s will, and maintaining our unity in the Holy Spirit as God weaves our lives together into a unique and beloved tapestry. 

Coffee Hour Hosts! Meet people and make new friends by signing up as a Sunday fellowship hour host! All food items are provided by the Fellowship Committee. Directions are posted in the kitchen for setting up and cleaning up. Sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090e48abaf2da1f58-coffee

Help with Rides to Church: We are looking for volunteers to provide rides to church for church members. If you can help, please email deacons@flemingtonpres.org, and we will email you the SignUpGenius link.

ShopRite Gift Cards: By purchasing a ShopRite gift card, you can support both your family and the FPC Bell Choirs. Don't shop at ShopRite? ShopRite gift cards also are appreciated by local food pantries, struggling to help more people at this time. Email Margaret Sheneman at msheneman@flemingtonpres.org to arrange for purchase and delivery.
