Remember to let your clocks FALL BACK Saturday night! ⏰
**PLEASE NOTE: The Life Center elevator is not working due to an electrical short and will most likely NOT be repaired by Sunday. If you need to use an elevator to access nursery, please use the elevator in the Welcome Center. Nursery can be accessed from there by going through the Solarium and courtyard. If you have questions, please check with Tami at the reception desk and she will be happy to help guide you!

Other Notes and Info
As we turn the calendar to November, we set our sights toward Advent! As is our FPC traidition, 5th graders lead our Family Christmas Eve Worship service while Kindergarteners act out the nativity. This year, Christmas Eve is on a Sunday, so the family service will be the only morning worship service that day. If your kindergartener or 5th grader would like to participate, PLEASE SIGN UP HERE.
**PLEASE NOTE the REQUIRED rehearsal time on the sign up genius and make sure your child can be present of they plan to participate in the worship service!
*Kindergarten families – please add your child’s name to the sign up even if you previously responded to my email. This will help me keep track! 🤪
