First Presbyterian will be conducting the worship service at Magnolia House on Sunday January 8, 15, 22, and 29 at 3:00 pm. Come join us as we enjoy this special time of fellowship with the residents.
The Presbyterian Women and their “Dreamboat” Jack Schmidtman attended the party and delivered your gifts for the East Gadsden Exceptional students. One attendee said,“If you ever need to get into the Christmas spirit this is the place to do it. It is so heartwarming to witness the joy your gifts bring to these wonderful students.”
The Presbyterian Women would like to thank you for your genreousity in supporting this program.
