“What is important is faith expressing itself in love.” (Galatians 5:6)
THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY
In the season of Lent, FPC Moorestown explores what it means to be “The Good and Beautiful Community.” Author of the book by the same name. James Bryan Smith writes of this community. “Apprentices of Jesus are not part-time do-gooders. They live in continuous contact with the kingdom of God, and are constantly men and women in whom Christ dwells. They do not sometimes tell the truth, sometimes live sacrificially or sometimes forgive. There are myriad opportunities for us to impact the world in which we live.”
On each Sunday, our sermon will reference a chapter of the book, you’ll find the chapter title in italics.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we are missing coming together at the church for our usual traditional and contemporary worship services. We are able to hold one worship service at 9:30 am in the sanctuary with limited in-person attendance. We continue offering our live stream for those who can’t come to church or feel safer watching from home.

A CALL TO FASTING AND PRAYER ON THURSDAYS
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7: 14
Join Pastor Stuart Spencer on Thursdays for a day of full or partial fasting. However or whenever you fast on Thursdays, be sure to participate in our Evening Prayer service at 7:00 pm. If you are unable to fast for medical reasons, plan to make Thursday a special day of prayer for yourself, our church and our nation. Let’s get started!
Prior to attending an approved worship service, meeting, small group, rehearsal or any gathering on the church campus we are asking each of our members and visitors to complete ONE waiver form and ONE health screening questionnaire for EACH member or visitor. You may find online and printable forms here…
The Membership Committee held a Spring Inquirers’ Class virtually in March for those interested in learning more about First Presbyterian Church and possibly joining the congregation.
