Although born into a Congregational Church family, she never became a professing Christian and stopped attending services in her late twenties. Many of Dickinson's poems evince a tension between faith and skepticism. Reading assignments will be four or five poems each week–poems centered on nature and religion. We will view two films. Please purchase your copy of The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, ed. Thomas H. Johnson prior to the class start date.
Seven Stories of Creation Seven Stories of Creation Seven Stories of Creation Seven Stories of Creation –––– One CreationOne CreationOne CreationOne Creation
Ron Shive, Pastor First Presbyterian Church
A close reading of Scripture reveals there are actually seven different biblical perspectives on creation: the two accounts in Genesis 1-3; Job 38-41; Psalm 104; Proverbs 8:22-31; and excerpts from Ecclesiastes and Isaiah 40-55. This study will examine one text each week in an attempt not to discover a single homogenized story, but rather to learn from each of these divergent biblical views of creation. The end result is a fuller, broader, and richer view of creation and our responsibility in it.

Explore FPC
T here will be an Explore FPC breakfast on January 21, at 9:45 a.m. in Room 122.
If you are a newcomer to the life and worship of FPC, this is a wonderful opportunity to meet our staff and learn more about the many ministries to which you are invited to participate. If you have questions, please contact Rev. Lindsay Conrad ([email protected]) or Rev. Ron Shive ([email protected]).
We would love to have you.
Baptism of Our Lord
D uring the 8:30 and 11:00 worship services Sunday, January 7, we will be remembering and celebrating the baptism of Jesus and our own baptism. It is in the baptism of Jesus that Jesus’ identity is reaffirmed for him. Through baptism we are initiated into God’s family and God gives us a new identity. Often though, we are forgetful of this identity given to us by our Creator and Redeemer.
While we are only baptized one time, we continually reaffirm our baptismal vows and often need to be reminded of our identity given to us at baptism.
During the worship services this Sunday, the congregation will be invited to an act of renewal and commitment as we formally renew our own vows of baptism. Join us for this meaningful way of beginning this new year.

L et's face it. Not one of us is getting out of here alive.
We live in a death-phobic society that teaches us to avoid all thoughts of our own dying.
And, sadly, most of us don't plan or prepare for our own end of life. NEVERTHELESS, IT’S NOT TOO LATE! At this Death Fair, you will be able to meet and talk with many community experts representing a range of resources.
Our Death Fair promises an in-depth discovery of the many decisions to be made for and about end-of-life care. The wide variety of topics to be explored at this fair include Advanced Funeral Plans; Advanced Funeral Service Planning and Church
Traditions; Living Wills and Powers of Attorney; Remembering the Church in your Will; Anatomical Body Donation; Hospice and Palliative Care; Green Burial; Home Funerals; and Artisans with their Handiwork (shrouds, coffins, urns).
The Death Fair seeks to address the need for thoughtful decision-making and articulated final wishes before a major decline in health makes it impossible. A recent NPR article (February 2017) noted, “Only about a quarter of American adults have an advance directive, according to a 2014 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.” This is just one area where failure to plan creates stress and anguish when difficult decisions arise.
We are excited to grant our church members and community neighbors a wealth of resources so they can express their wishes, learn about possibilities, and best take care of their loved ones as they plan their end of life.
Come join the deacons of FPC and the wonderful people who are experts in end-of-life care. There is something for all ages - kids have some ashes to make for Ash Wednesday! Join us for these important conversations and questions, and see Rev. Lindsay Conrad ([email protected]) or Charlotte Allbright ([email protected]) with any questions.

Furniture Ministry
S oon after Dick Feroe and his wife Jo joined First Pres, Dick came to a Furniture Ministry committee meeting and volunteered his services in any way, with one caveat—he couldn’t lift furniture. From that day, Dick became a loyal FM committee member who attended all the meetings and the monthly workdays. With his wisdom born of experience and his unfailing optimism and good humor, he was a favorite with all the volunteers. On more than one occasion, he went out in the midst of the workday and bought Christmas trees complete with lights and decorations to give to families with children.
But the donuts became his thing—he
was always there with several boxes of
fresh hot Krispy Kremes—a big
favorite with everyone, especially the
Elon students who often come in large
numbers to help. At the November
workday, he had just gotten out of the
hospital after a fall. Reluctantly he told
Lindsay he wouldn’t be able to bring
the donuts—he couldn’t even walk
across the room. Then with his
characteristic enthusiasm and a big
smile, he added, “But let me know if
there is anything I can do for you.”
Thank you, Dick, for all you have done
for the Furniture Ministry and the
many families we serve.
On December 2, an energetic crowd of
twenty-two volunteers and twenty
members of the Kappa Sigma
fraternity at Elon came together to
deliver truckloads of beds and
furnishings to ten families including
thirty-two children, and to make three
donation pick-ups—all before noon
and despite a persistent light rain.
(Thank you, Barry Bradberry for going
out to buy more tarps.)
Just a few days before the workday we
were short ten sofas – Dan Hardie,
bargain hunter-in-chief, found four
and on Thursday Habitat for Humanity
Restore delivered ten more plus a
truckload of end tables and coffee
tables.
The Lord always provides! What a
blessing it is that these families will
have furnishings in their homes and
beds to sleep in for Christmas.

Step Out Of Your
Comfort Zone
T he new year has arrived. Are you ready for a new challenge? Try enriching the Sunday worship service by operating the sound/video 'booths'. Here are a few answers to popular concerns:
’The equipment is too complicated!' The sound is controlled through an IPAD and is no more complicated than your smart phone. Video involves a joystick, a mouse and a mini-fan. 'I can't
spare the time for an entire month of sound/video!' That is OK . . . could you spare a couple of times a month for two or three times during the year? ‘I am too nervous . . . I might make a mistake during the service!' Again OK, we will make sure you are trained
before allowing you to 'solo'. Besides, who in the congregation has not made a mistake in the last seven days? Please see Dick Cannon for sound or Ted Hruslinski for video OR take a Sunday
and step up to the Balcony and observe the sound/video operation. Try this new perspective in the new year.

Memories Under the Steeple
T he first international missionary couple we sponsored was Rev. and Mrs. C.J.
McLendon who were agricultural missionaries in Mexico. Dr. and Mrs. William
M. Beckner became the second couple we helped to support. They were young
medical missionaries serving in the Belgian Congo. All records are not complete, but
other missionaries whom we have sponsored in cooperation with other churches
were: Rev. and Mrs. Campbell Davis Wallace, who were Evangelistic Missionaries in
Africa; Rev. and Mrs. John T. (Ted) Brothers, Evangelistic and Theological Educational
Missionaries to Portugal; and the Clifford William Hulls, who served in Japan in an
Evangelistic capacity. Beginning in 1971, our church began sharing with three other churches, the responsibility of
supporting the Rev. and Mrs. Frank L. Arnold and family in Altamira, Para, Brazil.
New Pictorial
Directory in
January 2018
I t is hard to believe that three years have already gone by since our last pictorial directory was compiled, but the time has arrived to prepare for an updated edition. With many new members joining during those three years, it is especially important to make our directory current. LifeTouch has been invited back to
help us produce this directory, with plans to conduct the photography sessions during the first two weeks of January. Sign-up for photo times will be available online, like last time, with a link through the church's website. Notification will be sent out through the weekly E-blast, announcing the date when the link is ready for use. We will also have a manual, paper sign-up opportunity for those without access to a computer. LifeTouch has kindly added Sunday morning and evening photo session times this year. As before, the purchase of pictures is
optional. Please do plan to come have your photo taken so that we can have a full representation of our church family.
The dates for photo sessions are as follows: January 3-7, and January 10-14. Sitting times will be as follows:
♦ Wednesday through Friday from 2:00 to 8:30 p.m.
♦ Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
♦ Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.
