SUMMARY:Serve Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:“Beloved\, if God so loved us\, we also ought to love one another.” -1 John 4:11 \nServe Week is our week-long initiative connecting our church members with local ministry partners. During Serve Week\, we’ll get hands-on experience with our partner ministries\, and it is our prayer that we would be able to forge new relationships between our members and these local organizations that extend beyond Serve Week — to all year long! Serve Week is designed with our church’s mission in mind: to make “disciples in our neighborhood\, our communities\, and the world.” \nServe Week\nCheck out the opportunities below to minister to our community through our partner ministries with FPC teams during Serve Week. We  hope you’ll try out one or more of these opportunities and consider how you might make serving a part of your regular routine. \n\n \nDaily Service Opportunities\n\n\n\n\nMonday\nTuesday\nWednesday\nThursday\nFriday\nSaturday\n\n\n\n\nMonday Morning at Mustard Seed\n\n\n\n1085 Luckney Road\, Brandon \nThe Mustard Seed seeks to meet the spiritual\, physical\, emotional\, and intellectual needs of adults with developmental disabilities by providing a loving and protected Christian community with meaningful activities that allow the participants to fulfill the potential that God has created within them. Several participants (called “Seedsters”) are members of First Pres! \n\n\n\nJoin us on Monday\, September 28\, beginning at 9 a.m. as we will lead an interactive devotional and singing with the Seedsters. From 10-12\, we will work at the Mustard Seed campus with a variety of indoor and outdoor projects. Volunteers may come and go if needed and all ages are welcome! \n\n\n\nAfter-School with Oasis at Mission First\n\n\n\n417 West Ash Street\, Jackson \nCome serve with Mission First’s “Oasis” program\, a ministry providing after-school care and tutoring for elementary-age children in inner-city Jackson. From 2:30-3:30 p.m.\, volunteers will provide snacks\, help children with homework\, and spend time getting to know them. This is a relational ministry and a wonderful opportunity to build meaningful connections while encouraging and investing in the lives of local children. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Morning at Harbor Day School\n\n\n\n6000 Old Canton Road\, Jackson \nHarbor Day School is a Christ-centered\, tuition-free early intervention school serving children from birth to 6 years old with special needs and the families who love them. Here\, calling and impact come together\, creating a place where children flourish\, families find hope\, and every act of generosity becomes part of a greater story. At Harbor Day School\, your time\, talents\, and resources help children with special needs discover their God-given purpose while you live out yours. \n\n\n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, September 29\, as we assist the kids with their morning circle time and activities. You’ll serve alongside staff members\, therapists and other regular volunteers\, interacting with the kids from 8:30 until 11 a.m. \n\n\n\nDinner and Evening Chapel at Gateway Rescue Mission\n\n\n\n328 S. Gallatin\, Jackson \nGateway Rescue Mission serves the homeless on the streets of Jackson by offering clean beds in an overnight shelter and by providing 3 meals a day\, 365 days a year. They also offer hope to men seeking help in overcoming addiction through their 6-month\, residential\, Biblically-based “New Life” program. \n\n\n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, September 29 as we serve the men of Gateway. We’ll serve them dinner beginning at 4 p.m.\, then worship together in an evening chapel service at 5 p.m. with preaching by David Strain.

Ages 12 and above are welcome! \n\n\n\nAn Evening with Internationals\n\n\n\n1390 N. State Street\, Jackson\, Patterson Hall \nSince 1995\, international students and scholars in the Jackson area have enjoyed our Conversational English Class offered on Tuesday nights at FPC. You can answer God’s call to love our international neighbors while experiencing the joy of “meeting the world” by simply sharing your knowledge of English and the love of Christ through this class. By the power of the Holy Spirit\, we pray that many will come to know Christ and become part of God’s family for eternity. Our instruction focuses on pronunciation\, idioms\, and American culture. \n\n\n\nJoin us from 5:45-7:30 p.m. in Patterson Hall for an enjoyable evening of English lessons\, snacks and fellowship. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFood Distribution with Care Center Ministries\n\n\n\n785 N.

Fresh food donated by Costco and Sam’s Club is boxed up by volunteers\, then distributed to the cars that have lined up all morning. Each car receives a box of food and a prayer led by the volunteers. This is a great opportunity to share the gospel and much needed food with low-income residents in our own neighborhood. \n\n\n\nLunch at Gateway Rescue Mission\n\n\n\nFor over 25 years\, FPC members have served lunch to the homeless in Jackson and the men in the “New Life” program at Gateway Rescue Mission.

You’ll help box up groceries\, distribute to low-income recipients and pray with each one. This is another great opportunity to share the gospel\, much needed food and the love of Jesus Christ with our neighbors. All ages are welcome! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSweet Treats with Care Center Ministries\n\n\n\n785 N. President Street\, Jackson \nJoin us for a special evening with the men and women of Care Center Ministries’ addiction recovery program as we gather for a time of preaching\, singing\, fellowship\, and fun! Following a gospel message from Wiley Lowry\, we’ll treat our friends at Care Center to an ice cream bar—complete with all the toppings—and spend time with men and women who are working hard to rebuild their lives. You don’t need to have a special skill or experience—just come with a willing heart and a desire to encourage someone who is walking a new path in life. All ages are welcome! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday at Twin Lakes\n\n\n\n155 Milner Road\, Florence \nJoin us for a morning at Twin Lakes on Saturday\, October 3. We’ll start with sausage and biscuits on the porch of Milner Lodge from 7:30 – 8:30 a.m. Then we’ll work until 11:30 a.m. on meaningful projects that will have an impact on campers and conference goers for years to come.

SUMMARY:MOMS at Night Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:MOMS is a Bible study for expectant moms\, those who hope to become moms\, and those whose youngest child is in the sixth grade or below. We have two options – one meeting every Wednesday morning and one meeting two Tuesday nights each month. A nursery for ages three and under and homeschool room/childcare for children ages twelve and under are available\, but space is limited. \nThis fall our study is Revelation: Victory in Jesus. In the book of Revelation\, the apostle John records the visions he was given: visions which tell of the resurrected and glorified Jesus and the throne room of heaven. Among others\, there are images of angelic hosts and demons\, battles and wars\, a garden and a wedding. We are also given a picture of our earthly struggles\, our false idolatries\, our false securities and we discover that what we think is important is actually fleeting and much of what we may invest our lives in is not as certain and significant as we may think it is. \nOur study will give us a picture of life on earth through the lens of heaven. The first few chapters show us that God has pulled back the curtain of heaven and invited John and his readers to view what He has already done\, what He is doing at present\, and His plans for the future of His creation. John’s beautiful vision of Jesus on the throne will grow our desire to be with Him and we will say as the apostle writes in the last sentence of the book\, “Come\, Lord Jesus!” \n  \nMeetings \n\nSeptember 15\nSeptember 29\nOctober 13\nOctober 27\nNovember 10\nDecember 1\nJanuary 19\nFebruary 2\nFebruary 16\nMarch 2\nMarch 15\nMarch 30\n\n
