This week, we’re sharing the voices of our confirmation students as they prepare to profess their faith and join our church family! “Jesus means ‘Savior’ to me…He allows me to wake up every morning and have food on my table. He has also blessed me with wonderful parents and siblings. Being a part of the church means spending time growing closer to God.” — Thomas Ange Join us this Sunday, May 3, at 11:00 AM to celebrate their journey. We’ll also feature special music from Robert Ray’s Gospel Mass. Everyone is welcome! #Confirmation2026 #FaithJourney #GospelMass #Community #GreenvilleN

This week, we’re sharing the voices of our confirmation students as they prepare to profess their faith and join our church family! “A little thing I recently learned was even Jesus took a break but breaks don’t mean breaks from Him they mean breaks from things going on in the world... Even in my worst decision, God still loves me and is here for me every step of the way.” — Easlyn Hall Join us this Sunday, May 3, at 11:00 AM to celebrate their journey. We’ll also feature special music from Robert Ray’s Gospel Mass. Everyone is welcome! #Confirmation2026 #FaithJourney #GospelMass #Community #GreenvilleNC

We’ll also feature special music from Robert Ray’s Gospel Mass. Everyone is welcome! #Confirmation2026 #FaithJourney #GospelMass #Community #GreenvilleNC

This week, we’re sharing the voices of our confirmation students as they prepare to profess their faith and join our church family! “Whether I’m at school, at dance, or at home, I now know God is always with me. Just like in 1 Samuel, chapter 17 - the story of David and Goliath - it shows you can do amazing things if you have faith in the Lord, even taking down a giant with a stone and slingshot.” — Taylor Bowers Join us this Sunday, May 3, at 11:00 AM to celebrate their journey. We’ll also feature special music from Robert Ray’s Gospel Mass. Everyone is welcome! #Confirmation2026 #FaithJourney #GospelMass #Community #GreenvilleNC

This week, we’re sharing the voices of our confirmation students as they prepare to profess their faith and join our church family! “To me, the word faith means trusting in God’s will and going to him when you need help. I believe in God, who is always here to guide and protect me, and in Jesus, who does everything out of his love for us. I also believe that God loves all of us equally.” — Mary Mac Jones Join us this Sunday, May 3, at 11:00 AM to celebrate their journey. We’ll also feature special music from Robert Ray’s Gospel Mass.

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) #lent #remember #goodnews #photoaday @fpcgreenville @fpc_._youth

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) #lent #goodnews #return @fpc_._youth @fpcgreenville

“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. @sanctifiedart

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! #christmasjoy #greenvillenc #christmaseve

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.
