In Pre-K the whole class gets an invite to Tommy’s birthday.
He places the paper invites in our cubbies. There’s a helter-skelter sticker
sealing each one, proof that tiny hands did the work. So we,
the members of Mrs. Farnell’s Pre-K class, arrive at the park on Saturday.
We arrive whether or not we’ve ever built a sandcastle with Tommy.
We arrive whether or not we’ve ever shared half of our PB&J at lunch.
We arrive at the park on Saturday, with pigtails and balloons,
because we were invited.
—excerpt from the poem “The Gospel According to Mrs. Farnell’s Pre-K Class” by Rev. Sarah A. Speed | @sanctifiedart
These rocks are to remember our pets who have died. We honor the love, joy, and comfort they were in our lives.
Today's word is Remember
Tomorrow's word is Relationship (so join us at our Neighbor to Neighbor worship and lunch 2/22)

Inviting God, the season of Lent whispers an invitation in my ear to go deeper in faith and to draw closer to you. I want to heed the Spirit’s whisper, so today I pray—what would you have me focus on in this season? What work is mine to do? Where is my heart being tugged? Reveal your hope for me so that I might heed your call faithfully. Amen.
—prayer by Rev. Sarah A. Speed | @sanctifiedart
Even the church has to return things to Amazon...
Today's word is Return
Tomorrow's word is Remember (2/21)

“In the parable, the initial invitation is cast more broadly; everyone is welcome despite any status or condition that might typically isolate them from community. The invited reject, but the rejected are embraced. In the art, the welcoming branches of the tree bear good fruit. The invitation continues to grow and flourish despite all the worldly barriers that would keep us apart and isolated. In the final ring, a crowd is gathered around an even larger table, one that still has open seats.”
—from the artist’s statement for “There Is Still Room” by Rev. Lauren Wright Pittman | @sanctifiedart
We invite you to join us in sharing one photo a day to lift up good news!
Today's word is Invitation (2/19)
Tomorrow's word is Return (2/20)
#lent #invitaion #goodnews #photoaday @fpc_._youth
“Ordinarily, the host of a banquet invites and serves the very people who have no need of the banquet’s bounty. The extraordinary people who hope to emulate God’s transcendent love invite into their company not just those who have, but those who need. They make the broken ones socially whole and physically welcome.
The season of Lent reminds us that God has extended such an extraordinary welcome. To us. In Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, God, holy beyond all human standing, invited us, in all of our brokenness, into the community of divine presence. Not because we earned a place, but because God created space.”
—Rev. Dr. Brian Blount, from his commentary on Luke 14:15-24 | @sanctifiedart
"We are dust, and to dust we shall return."
Today's Word - dust. (2/18)
Tomorrow's Word - invitation (Thursday, 2/19)
#dust #lent #goodnews #photoaday @fpc_._youth
See you tonight party people! 🥞🥞🥞
We often describe Jesus’ ministry as “radical” which comes from the Latin word “radicalis,” meaning “root” or “ground.” Therefore, the good news should bring us back to our roots, back to what grounds us: loving our neighbor, caring for the vulnerable, pursuing justice and mercy, and resting in God’s unending grace. This Lent, may the teachings of Jesus lead us forward. Let the good news ground us. And let that good news inspire us to take action in a world desperate to hear, see, and taste what is good.

Important Update for Sunday, Feb 1st: ❄️
Due to the weather, we are cancelling our in-person services and Sunday School classes tomorrow. Your safety is our top priority!
Even though we are apart, Pastor Karen has a timely message for us on Micah 6:8. She dives into the complexities of “doing justice” and how to maintain our bonds of love even when we disagree on the big questions. Check out the link in bio
Stay cozy, check out the video below, and join us in spirit! Stay safe and warm! ⛪️✨
#snow #greenvillenc #dojustice #micah68
Worship and Sunday School on Jan 25 are Cancelled.
View a brief gospel message from Pastor Karen in our reels. Stay safe and warm!
What do we need to release so that we can hold on to what is good? What are the tools that no longer serve us in our calling to strengthen, support, and shelter those in need? Explore more in this brief gospel message from our pastor @karenwarejack
#greenvillenc #disciples #calling #vocation
When it’s cold and yucky outside, come play with us!
Drop in anytime for kid-sized bounce houses, bubbles, snacks and plenty of room to run around. This is a great way for kiddos and their grown-ups to meet new friends and get some energy out in the winter.
Park in the lot off Elm Street and head for the marked door (look left).
We'll see you at 11am for ONE service. Come ready to SING! (It's the 4th day of Christmas, but there probably won't be 4 calling birds... probably.)
Meet us at the manger. We’ve got a space saved for you.
#greenvillenc #christmaseve
Our family service has all the classics - carols, communion, candlelight plus a pageant where everyone is welcome to join!

Join us on Tuesday, March 4 at 6pm for the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner and place a bid on one of four King Cakes that will be available for auction! Three of the four are scratch-made by talented FPC bakers and one is from Gambino’s in New Orleans! Proceeds benefit the children & youth attending Worship & Music Conference at Montreat in June.
Out of an abundance of caution, we're cancelling our 8:30am worship service tomorrow, Feb. 23. But everything else is still ON - Sunday School at 9:45am, Worship at 11am, and our Neighbor to Neighbor Lunch and Silent Auction are all happening! We'll see you tomorrow!
Were you SHOCKED by your last electric bill? It's been a cold winter and costs just keep going up. Lots of folks in our area need help. If you'd like to be be part of the solution - don't miss Worship Feb. 23 with Dr. Derek Maul followed by lunch and silent auction to benefit Greenville Utilities Neighbor to Neighbor fund.

Lord, You know how deep a warrior’s wounds go. You know the loss that many of our veterans experience in body and soul. You know the memories that haunt them and the scars that many of them continue to carry. Please bring healing to those veterans who still hurt. Please grant patience and wisdom to those around them who cannot understand but can sometimes help the healing process. Please send them both physical and spiritual balm for their wounds. May your peace which passes all understanding settle into their hearts, their minds, and their spirits this day and always. Amen.
Youth at Montreat
Our youth are at @montreat this weekend working to clear trees from a trail. For those who love Lake Susan, check out the pictures at the end of the dredging project in process, and finally the strong and faithful dam, which might be blocked up but HELD in the face of Helene.
Our youth are headed to @montreat for their fall service retreat. We’re overwhelmed by the way they are seeking to love their neighbors and help with recovery efforts in Western NC and this place that is so dear for so many. #mountainstrong #montreat #lovegodlovepeople
