Blanket Sunday: Your gift of a CWS Blanket brings comfort, care, and hope to someone facing a difficult moment. Your generosity makes this possible. Every blanket you share tells a neighbor, “You’re cared for.” As followers of Jesus, we are called to love our neighbors—especially in their time of need. A simple blanket becomes a holy offering: warmth on a cold night, peace after disaster, and a reminder that no one is forgotten by God. Why Your Gift Matters: When disaster strikes, or a cold night sets in, your gift means everything.

Give today—and share warmth with someone in need.
$10~Provides a CWS Blanket to someone in need.
$25~Provides a CWS Blanket and a CWS Hygiene Kit, offering warmth and essential supplies.
$60~Family Bundle! Provides blankets and hygiene kits for an entire family, ensuring that they have what they need during challenging times.

To donate to CWS Blankets, you can make a check out to Flemington Presbyterian Church with "CWS Blankets" on the memo line and drop it in the  offering plate or mail it to FPC, or you can donate via our website Giving Page - choose "Give Online," then the Fund "Special Offerings," and then the Sub Fund "Blanket Sunday Offering."

Meal-In-A-Bag Volunteers: Our friends at Grace United Church of Christ in Flemington recently began a “Meal in a Bag” program and are looking for volunteers to help with their next several packing days on Sunday, May 17, and Sunday, June 7, at 1:00 p.m. at ShopRite in Flemington. After checking in at the catering desk, volunteers proceed to a packing room where they bag ingredients to make meal kits that feed 4-5 people. Over 100 bags will be assembled in a smooth and organized process. The following week, GUCC delivers the bags to the food pantries in Flemington and Lambertville.  They have been a HUGE hit with families.  Please consider volunteering for this important and rewarding program. For more information or to sign up to help, contact the church office.

Please RSVP by Friday, May 15, for the first date and Friday, June 5, for the second date.

Little Food Pantry Needs: Our Little Food Pantry is so highly used by the community, FPC volunteers restock it four times a week. In order to support our neighbors in temporary housing and those living in hotels, cars, or outdoors, we ask that you provide products tailored to their limited cooking and refrigeration options. Our current needs are: bottled water, peanut butter, shelf-stable milk, Chef Boyardee canned pasta, and canned vegetables. Please drop donations off in the marked box in Fellowship Hall, or you can write a check to FPC with LFP in the memo line. You can also donate from our regular inventory list: Small cereal boxes; chicken/tuna packets; Campbell’s soup; nutrition bars; bottled water; canned ravioli/pasta; toothpaste; coffee pods; toothbrushes; shelf milk (small cartons); fruit juice; and tampons. Thank you for shining God’s light! 

Save these 2026 dates! Vacation Bible School is scheduled for July 6–10, and our annual Volunteers in Mission trip to Maine is scheduled for July 18–25.
