This spring, we began our First. Faithful. Forever. Capital Campaign. On Sunday, March 20, we pledged $821,215 to the campaign. This was well past our chal-lenge benchmark of $675,000. In addition, we pledged $400,864 to our annual budget, which is a 31% increase over 2015 pledges. So far we have received $172,180 to-wards the campaign. So, what are we doing with that mon-ey, you are probably wondering.

We have committed the first $300,000 ($100,000 each year) to be paid di-rectly against our mortgage. This will save us money and interest in the future. Every $1 that we give now saves us $3 over the life of the 20-year loan. The next $100,000 will be set aside in reserves to cover any budget shortfalls. The remaining money will be divided between the mortgage and building maintenance.

The campaign is still in its very early stages, so it may seem that not much has happened so far, however, there is a lot of good news to report. Because of the reduction in our mortgage payment, we are financially much better off than we have been in years. We have operated with a deficit budget for the last several years. This year, if giving continues at the level pledged, we are hopeful that we will end the year with a balanced budget. This will be a huge accomplishment for the church and will allow us to move into 2017, looking to grow and continue our mission and ministry. Some of the new ministry programs that we have added this year are monthly Club 345 and Youth group meetings for our older elementary school chil-dren and youth. We kicked off in August with a wonderful golf cart scavenger hunt around Peachtree City. Our music program is also continuing to expand, with the addition of several ensemble groups, Veritas and The Elders, in addition to the Chancel Choir and Alchemy Handbells. Our worship is enriched each Sunday thanks to the countless members that share their musical talents with us. A group as also started volunteering monthly at the Midwest Food Bank, which we also sup-port financially with our mission giving. Other local missions supported include Fayette Samaritans, Healing Bridge, Fayette Care Clinic, Calvin Center, Presbyteri-an Home, Thornwell Home for Children, and the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta. We also support the PC(USA) Global Mission fund, mission co-workers Shelvis and Nancy Smith Mather in South Sudan, and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.

We are also building up our emergency reserves, so that we can tackle some of the much needed maintenance items around the church. All of the HVAC units in the church are old and not very energy efficient. We are hopeful to not only replace units in the Smith Hall portion of the church, but to also re-design the sys-tem so that it operates more efficiently. The Buildings & Grounds Committee esti-mates that by upgrading to new energy efficient units, we can save up to 50% on our electric bill! The B&G folks are also hard at work using the matching grant we received from Georgia Interfaith Power and Light to replace many of the light fix-tures around the church with energy efficient LED bulbs, which will also save us money.

We need your continued support not only to the capital campaign but also to the operating budget so we can make all of these projects a reality. The mission and ministry of First Presbyterian does so many amazing things, and it is your faith-ful generosity that allows it all to happen. Thank you all so much for your pledge to this campaign and to the ongoing budget of First Presbyterian. Your gifts, energy, time, talents, and treasure allow the mission and ministry of First Presbyterian to grow and thrive.

First…give thanks to the Lord because God’s faithful love endures forever. I Chronicles 16:34

Peace,

Presbyterian Women Kick-off Dinner

Fifty women of the church attended an informative and fun-filled evening on August 30. The church provided fried chicken and dessert, while everyone brought a delicious dish to share. Get-acquainted games were played at each table, then Reverend Hay led the whole group in

games that were fun and brought out lots of interesting facts about our members. Did you know we have a woman who sang the Star Spangled Banner at the Braves game TWICE? A poet? An ice-skater? A synchronized swimmer? Someone who celebrated her 30

th anniversary in a German castle being serenaded by a professional tenor? A kayaker? And some-

one who as a young girl had a pet raccoon? This was a great evening of fellowship and really getting to know people.

You won’t want to miss this fun event next year.

First Presbyterian Church members and New Day Cir-cle adopted a Syri-an refugee family of four from Clark-ston, GA. On Sun-day, September 18th we took four truckloads of items to their apartment and met our family. We took furniture, clothing, rugs, dishes, a food pro-cessor, a vacuum, and high chair. This family was sponsored through World Relief. We hope to return soon as we see their needs in the future.

Syria is approximately 6700 miles from the U.S., and most refugees remain in a camp for 17 years. Our refugee family was so happy to get all their new furniture! We arrived to an almost empty apartment and left a really nice home. Thanks be to God for everyone who donated.

Several Presbyterian Women, other church members, and

friends have been volunteering at the Midwest Food Bank the last three months packaging rice and beans, taping together boxes of cookies and crackers, and packaging diapers, hygiene products, and popcorn. Midwest Food Bank, located off of south Hwy 74, is a faith based organization whose mission is to alleviate hunger and poverty by gathering and distributing food donations to nonprofits and disas-ter sites without cost to the recipients. We will be re-turning to volunteer one afternoon a month so check the bulletin for future dates. Bring your spouse or a friend and wear your First Presbyterian T-shirt and name tag.

Thank you, First Pres Veterans.

Do you recognize these guys?

Be in church on Nov 13 to learn who they are!

Get Carried Away with Books…and Magazines - As the children go back to school and

the temperatures begin to cool down a bit, it is a great time to curl up with a good book or maga-zine. Stop by the library and choose a book or magazine for yourself or your children. The li-brary is open on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings 5:00-7:30. Our church library sub-

scribes to the Horizons Magazine bimonthly. Check out the current topics of interest in these issues for some informative and thought-provoking reading:

January/February 2016 - A Faithful Response to Violence - No matter how pervasive violence is or has been, we are called and strengthened by Christ to be messengers and practitioners of peace and wholeness.

March/April 2016 - Celebrating Women, Faith and Faithful Women - Women serve in every field and in a wide range of roles—from teachers to CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies—while remaining the backbone of our basic institutions, including families and churches. By serving where women feel called, we honor the gifts and strengths God has given us.

May/June 2016 - Communications Justice-The Right to Speak and Be Heard - “Let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger; for our anger does not produce God’s righteousness” (James 1:19-20). May every voice in our global choir be heard in glori-ous counterpoint.

July/August 2016 - Sabbath Restoration - Remember the day of rest, and keep it set apart. Cease your labors and preoccupations with the busyness of life. Find rest for your soul in the time and place set aside for contemplating and appreciating God. This issue also high-lights all of the ministries in the United States and throughout the world that the PW Thank Offering chose for grants in 2016.

Please plan to join in the fun at our Harvest Moon Dance on October 29. The Missions Committee has planned a wonderful evening of fun and entertainment to benefit the missions

of First Presbyterian Church. The Peachtree Jazz Edition will be playing with Toni Byrd singing a variety of dance and listening music from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres and desserts will be served, and childcare is available with reservations.

In addition to the dance, there will be a silent auction from 7:00-9:30. (You should have seen the bidding war over the peanut brittle at the last dance!) There are some great items at this auction, and it’s not too early to start your Christmas shopping!

Tickets are on sale at the Welcome Center, at Wednesday Night Dinners, and on Sunday mornings in the narthex. A donation of $25 is requested for each ticket. Mark your calendars and get your tickets today!

FPC Organist and Composer in Residence Bill Pasch will have a new choral composition

premiered at Spivey Hall in early November. The new choral work was com-posed for the Griffin Choral Arts Chamber Choir, for its joint performance with the Clayton State Community Chorus during a weekend-long observance of the

400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, sponsored by the Clayton State Department of

Visual and Performing Arts. The new piece, for unaccompanied chorus, is entitled “Mark We the Music” and combines texts from Shakespeare’s Sonnet 8 and The Merchant of Venice.

Both Bill and FPC Music Director David Stivers also sing in the Griffin Choral Arts Chamber Choir, so will participate in the performance, which will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 5. The concert is free, with no tickets required.

Iola Snow Peanut Brittle High Bidder,

and she looks pretty darned happy about it.

Coram Deo is in full swing! Our high school students are busy putting in their applications for colleges, preparing for

PSAT's and SAT's. Our middle schoolers are adapting to class changes. Instead of one teacher for every-thing, they have math and science teachers in addition to their core teachers. Our “littles” are so enthusiastic! Their wonder of learning is so contagious. Our teachers just can't get enough of them! We look forward to a busy year of learning, fun, field trips and our Choral Concert and Art Show on December 8th! This begins our fourth year of meeting in the First Presbyterian building on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and we are grateful to First Pres for this wonderful partnership. Thank you for supporting Coram Deo.

COMMUNITY MATTERS! Affinity and Beyond believes community matters to everyone! Those who face developmental challenges also face barriers which prevent them from fully participating in their neighborhoods. Often, they lack the skills they need or opportunities to connect to their communities. That’s where Affinity can help! Affinity was founded in 2010 and focuses on the need to connect families to their communities. Affinity social skills groups help develop social skills in key areas: interpersonal skills; independent

care, safety skills and living skills; work readiness, job seeking and skills needed for maintaining a job. Community outings help participants practice or maintain their skills. Affinity offers a variety of train-ing sessions including: navigating the Medicaid Waiver maize, connecting families to community ser-vices, behavior management basics, care giver training, and development of a social skills curriculum. Many of these are free or low cost. The Affinity and Beyond Program Director has 30 plus years serv-ing this population in the state of Georgia. All staff are Developmental Specialists with years of exper-tise in this arena. First Presbyterian members Elizabeth Hiatt and Cheryl Hall work with the Affinity groups that meet in our building on Saturdays. Visit AffinityandBeyond2010.weebly.com.

Summer Lunch volunteers from several area churches celebrated the end of this year’s program with a luncheon of

their own hosted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The general consensus of the group is that they are a little sad the program is over and are already looking forward to next year. Plus, they really enjoyed the luncheon!

First Presbyterian Kindergarten Consignment Sale

From September 16-18, we had about 80 consignors and sold just over $10,000 worth of merchandise. We made $2800 for the preschool, and we were able to donate unsold items to the Syrian refugee family, Liberty Tech char-ter school, The Children's house in Palmetto, and A Better Way. A Big Thank You to the church for allowing us to use the space, the church mem-bers that helped with racks, and those from the church that consigned items! Watch for our next sale in the Spring.

ADVENT TREE MISSION PROJECT 2016

Summer Lunch Program & the Advent Tree

Last year, First Presbyterian adopted several families from our Summer Lunch Pro-gram during the Advent Season. The Summer Lunch Program is an initiative from the US Dept. of Agriculture’s Summer Food Services Program. Students who re-ceive free or reduced-price meals are eligible to receive this needed assistance dur-ing the summer break from school. This program is administered through local churches and organizations.

Our Summer Lunch Program (SLP) at First Presbyterian has a dedicated team of packers, drivers, and dona-tors each summer providing meals and books to those who qualify in our local neighborhoods. Through the deliveries, our team gets to know the families on their routes. At the end of summer, the Advent Team re-quests from the SLP Team a list of families who would most benefit from our Advent Tree Mission Project.

Local Missions & Tremendous Giving

The Advent Tree Mission Project was born out of the desire to focus on our local community in need during the Advent Season. Our church family did an outstanding job of embracing this new project, providing over and above what we could have hoped. The PWC Circles graciously adopted several families and rose to the challenge of small group numbers and large families. On Sundays, many oth-ers pulled tags from our Advent Trees in the Narthex and Welcome Center, buying items or donating gift cards for the project. A team of volunteers spent many hours in the Youth Room, organizing, wrap-ping, labeling, and writing thoughtful cards to each of the families. A member gave us several family devotionals to include in each family gift and another provided CFA sandwiches one day. Many brought in wrapping paper, tape, gift boxes, cards, and large boxes for transportation.

Families

The Advent Team spoke to each of the families at length. We requested needed sizes, favorite toys, preferences, and used a volunteer translator when needed. We were able to have long conversations with many of them, get-ting to know the families’ stories, challenges, and listen to their gracious words of thanks. When they came to pick up their box-es of gifts, they were all overwhelmed. Some were speechless and could say very little and others were hugging and smiling. We received several messages after Christmas Day - expressions of joy, how much fun the children had, the looks of surprise and happiness, and special thanks. It was a humbling experience for each of us - and a joyful one.

Last year, we adopted 9 families - 33 children and 11 Adults. Each child received needed coats, hats/gloves, shirts, pants, un-dergarments, and of course - toys! Each adult received a Walmart Gift Card for clothing items, a coat from our First Presbyteri-an Coat Drive, and a family Kroger gift card for food.

Advent Tree 2016

Because of the tremendous response to our other missions’ projects and the Capital Campaign, we will be adopting 5 families this year. Each child will receive new clothing items and toys. Each adult will receive a Walmart gift card and a Kroger gift card for the family. We had so much great input last year and we will be incorporating many of those suggestions. For privacy rea-sons, we cannot provide pictures or details about the families. More detailed instructions about the Advent Tree will be coming in future bulletins.

Calendar

November 1 - Advent Trees with tags will be in the Welcome Center and Narthex

December 5 - Week of wrapping begins

December 12 - Families will pick-up at the church

How can you participate?

Tags - Pull tags and have fun shopping! This is a great way for children to participate in this project. We will stop accepting donations on December 4, so there is plenty of time to hit those Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals.

Gift Cards - We need plenty of Kroger and Walmart gift cards in any amount. We use these as gifts and to round out any need-ed items the week of December 5. There are about 10 weeks until December 5th, so there’s plenty of time. Be creative and start saving for the project now!

Family Devotionals - This was a great idea from a member last year and we’d love to do it again. Family oriented, encouraging, hopeful.

Volunteers - In the coming weeks, there will be opportunities to volunteer by wrapping, donat-ing paper/supplies, and several things the week of December 5.

If you have any questions, please contact Kim Diffey at 415-250-9751 or kimdiffey@me.com.

Many thanks! The Advent Team

Fall is here! Our little ones have adjusted to school and are having fun. We are looking forward to exciting events during Oc-tober, November, and December. October brings one of our favorite events - a visit from the fire fighters! They bring their truck and show us their equipment. We learn safety rules and get a fire fighter's hat. Our 4's and K-Town students will visit local farms for hay rides and pumpkin picking. Our 2's and 3's will have their own pumpkin patch at school. On October 27 and October 31, we will wear costumes to school and sing songs together with Ms. JoBeth, our music teacher. In November,

we will begin cooking for our Thanksgiving feast. All the children participate in shucking corn, snapping beans, or baking pumpkin bread or cookies. We will gather together in Smith Hall and enjoy our feast dressed as Pilgrims or Native Americans. December brings excitement and joy as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The children will sing for family and friends in the sanctuary on December 15 and 16 at 10:30 a.m. We will dismiss for Christ-mas break on December 16 and return on January 4, 2017. We love our church family and thank you for your continued prayers and support.

Our first Club 345 and Youth Group meetings were so much fun! We cruised all

around town in golf carts and took lots of fun pictures on our scavenger hunt. Thank you Chef Pat for a muy bueno taco dinner! These clubs meet on the last Sunday afternoon of the month. Join us on October 30 for a Bonfire and S'mores and on November 27 for an Advent Program.

Fall Festival--It's time again for Fall Family Fun! Join us Wednesday, October 26 at 6:30

for the First Pres Fall Festival. Games, yummy concessions, and Trunk or Treat. Our won-derful volunteers are the heart of the fun, so please sign up to join the fun and work a game or hand out concessions. Or you can decorate your car or golf cart and hand out treats dur-ing Trunk or Treat. Watch the Children's Ministry Information board for sign up and ways you can help.
