-Items will default to be shipped to a member of our Missions Committee. If you prefer, you may choose to have items shipped directly to you, then drop them off in the Gathering Area.
Lenten Sunday School Class
Continues Through March 29
This Lent, we invite you to join Pastor's Sam and Daria for a special discussion-based Sunday School class designed for those in their “middle years.” Together, we’ll explore the book, "Lost in the Middle: Midlife and the Grace of God," by Paul David Tripp; a thoughtful and hope-filled look at this unique season of life.
Midlife can bring big questions: changing roles, lingering regrets, physical limitations, and dreams that may look different than we once imagined. Scripture may not use the word "midlife," but God’s Word speaks deeply and lovingly into every season we walk through. In this class, we’ll reflect on how Christ meets us right where we are, offering renewed purpose, grace, and a fresh identity rooted in Him.
📅 Dates: February 22 – March 29
⏰ When: Sundays at 9:45 am
📍 Where: Fellowship Hall
Whether you feel settled, searching, or somewhere in between, you are warmly invited to be part of this meaningful Lenten experience. We hope you’ll join us.
Easter Lily Orders
February 22 - March 11
In celebration of Easter, you are invited to purchase lilies in memory or in honor of a loved one. The flowers will be used to decorate the sanctuary this Easter season, and will be available for pick up following the 11:00 Worship service on Easter Sunday.
Orders can be placed now through March 11. The cost is $15 per lily and orders can be placed online via Realm or by filling out an order form (located in the Gathering Area) and dropping it off in the church office.
Community Lunch & Learn
We’re excited to continue our monthly Lunch & Learn series at First Presbyterian Church—a time to share a meal, connect with one another, and learn about the impactful work of local non-profit organizations in our community.
Tuesday, March 17 | 12:00 noon
Come be a part of this special luncheon when we will shine a spotlight on one Belmont’s very own local non-profits; Arin’s Good Girl Dog Treats. Arin, who was born with Microcephaly, has faced limits in fully participating in society—but her devoted “good girl” service dog, Posie, has opened doors to connection and community.
What began as a simple act of love soon grew into "Good Girl Dog Treats," a 501(c)3 organization that offers all-natural dog treats while creating meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
We hope you will join us for lunch and learn about the wonderful opportunities to support Arin’s passion and purposeful work.
Mulch Madness/Spring Cleanup
Sunday, March 8 | 5:00 pm
Join us for "Mulch Madness," also known as our annual Spring Cleanup where we will come together to beautify our church grounds by spreading mulch and pine needles around the property.
Please bring any essential tools such as hard rakes, gloves, and wheelbarrows if you have them.
We thank you in advance for your time and assistance, as "many hands make light work." With enough help, we anticipate the project being completed in less than two hours.
Please register if you are able to participate so that our Property Committee can better prepare for this day. For questions, please contact Vann Lanier or Ken Dole.
Family Easter Eggstravaganza
Saturday, March 28 | 10:00 am
Gather the whole family and join us as we journey through the stories of Holy Week in a way that’s engaging and meaningful for children of all ages. Together, we’ll celebrate the joy of the Easter season and the good news of Christ’s resurrection!
We will enjoy delicious cupcakes and drum roll… we’re bringing back the EGG HUNT this year!
Come celebrate, learn, laugh, and rejoice with us as we remember the hope and new life we have in Jesus. Be sure to register on Realm so we can plan accordingly.
Rise Against Hunger Event
Sunday, March 29 | 12:00 noon
Mark your calendars! Our annual Rise Against Hunger Meal Packing Event has been postponed from February 1 to March 29 due to inclement weather. We are seeking at least 120 volunteers to help make this outreach ministry a success as we join together in the mission to help end world hunger. Together we will pack over 15,000 meals in less than two hours. What a blessing it is to serve in this way!
Children preschool age and older are welcome to join with their family and lend a helping hand. Childcare will be available for those too young to participate.
If you want to be a part of this meaningful opportunity, you may register as a volunteer by clicking the link below.
Yoga for Parkinson’s
Held each Monday at 10:00 & 11:15 am
A gentle yoga class designed specifically for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease. Incorporating a daily yoga practice is especially beneficial for people living with Parkinson’s or other movement disorders.
Classes are held in the Multipurpose Room of FPC Belmont and are free of charge for program participants. Care partners are also welcome to participate.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Each week we depend on volunteers to “host” our weekly classes. Hosts are not responsible for instructing the class, rather, you only need to be present for the duration of the class. If you are interested in getting involved, please click the sign-up link below for more information and to reserve a time that works with your schedule. We thank you in advance for helping make this opportunity possible for those living with Parkinson’s.
