We encourage everyone who is able, to participate in some, or all, of these calls regardless of whether you have a student at the schools listed. If you are unable to participate at all in the Zoom calls, we encourage you to use this list next week and pray for each of these schools. All of our students, faculty & staff, superintendents, and school boards need prayers for protection, guidance, and wisdom as they continue to deal with the pandemic and the many challenges it presents.
Please remember to keep our own Preschool, its students and staff, in your prayers as well.

Grace and Peace to you all.

Donations for Eagle Scout Project Requested
My name is Brady Coltrane, and I have been a member of First Presbyterian Church my whole life. I am a Boy Scout of Troop 205, and I am currently working on my Eagle Scout Project.
During these unprecedented times, I thought it would better to explain my Eagle Scout Project and ask for donations through the church’s website and the ACTION. Currently, I am renovating a room at the Domestic Violence Shelter. The purpose of this renovation is to allow domestic violence victims to bring their pets with them when they are fleeing dangerous situations. Forty-eight percent of Domestic Violence victims do not leave their homes, because they cannot bring their pets with them. We all know how important our pets are to us and to our families. It is difficult to imagine having to leave our pets behind.
