Sunday school teachers are needed for our children's and youth classes. As you consider your financial support for the church, also consider how you can support your church with your time and talents. Have you thought about serving the church by sharing your faith in Christ with others? There are several Sunday School classes that are in need of teachers or teacher assistants. Teachers and teacher assistants are asked to commit to an every other month schedule. Teachers plan and implement the lesson for the week. Teacher assistants help the teacher -- you are the extra pair of hands.
Those classes needing additional staff are:
If you would like to share your faith with one of these groups of children/youth, please contact Annette Pomeroy immediately.

The cost of the meal is by donation. From 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Rev. John LeGault will continue our discussion of Favorite Bible Passages.

Help Stop World Hunger |
The CROP Walk is a program of Church World Service. The CROP Walk is a way in which persons of all ages can raise money to help the hungry and poor of our communities and around the world. It is a way to give out of our abundance to those in need.
The Peninsula District is sponsoring a CROP Walk on Sunday, October 26 in Newport News Park. Our youth will be walking and they need your help. They are collecting donations (make checks payable to "Church World Service"). Please drop your donations in the CROP WALK Aquarium located in the narthex or give to Annette Pomeroy at the church office. Last year we raised $447.82. Our goal this year is $600.
There are several ways you can support the Peninsula CROP WALK:
The children of First Church and FUMC Preschool and their families are invited to a fun-filled afternoon on Saturday, November 1 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Come for good fellowship and fun activities.
