FPC Tutoring and Studying: Beginning April 14, local high school students will offer free help with student's homework, practice and/or studying, organized by our Student Deacons. Math – History – Sciences – Languages – Literature – Writing. Available from 12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. every Sunday for grades K-8. Find us up in the Youth Room of the church. If you have any questions please contact the church office.
Are you interested in helping to tutor a student? We could use your help. Please sign up here.

Communion Stewards Needed:  The Worship Committee is seeking two volunteers to help prepare the elements prior to our Communion services. Please contact Jennifer Willis at worship@flemingtonpres.org.

Little Food Pantry Needs: Our Little Food Pantry is so highly used by the community, FPC volunteers restock it four times a week. And so, we need items to restock! Our current needs are fruit juice boxes and cans of tuna in water. 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. Thank you for shining God’s light! 

Per Capita for 2024: Help us reach our goal! The 2024 Per Capita apportionment for each active member of FPC is $42.50. This is the amount we will remit to our Presbytery this year to cover our share of the expenses of our governing councils: General Assembly, Synod, and Presbytery. You may send a check to the church office (note “Per Capita” on the memo line) or give online at https://www.flemingtonpres.org/giving – tap the “Online Giving” button and choose “Per Capita” in the “Fund” dropdown menu.

2024 Giving Pledges: As we enter 2024, please consider making a giving pledge for this new year if you have not already done so. Pledges allow the church to plan and budget for the coming year by helping us to predict future giving. Pledge cards are available at the church, or you can pledge online at https://www.flemingtonpres.org/pledge. And as a reminder, you can make gifts directly online through the link at Giving — Flemington Presbyterian Church. For additional convenience, when giving online, you can set up a recurring payment to the church. You may also want to check with your bank to see if you can set up regular payments directly from your checking account. Giving in this way saves the Church the processing fees from the online portal. Finally, you may wish to see if your employer offers a giving match program that would apply to giving to Flemington Presbyterian. Enrolling in such a program would effectively double each dollar you donate to FPC.

Prayer Requests: If you would like to submit a Prayer Request to be included in the Sunday morning Prayers of the People in worship and/or the Prayer section of the e-newsletter, you have several options:

And remember, our Prayer Chain is YOU! As members of Flemington Presbyterian Church, we ask that you practice the spiritual discipline of holding one another up in prayer regularly,  especially those who are in a particular time of struggle.  Let us actively care for each other by holding each other up to God, praying for God’s will, and maintaining our unity in the Holy Spirit as God weaves our lives together into a unique and beloved tapestry. 

Coffee Hour Hosts! Meet people and make new friends by signing up as a Sunday fellowship hour host! All food items are provided by the Fellowship Committee. Directions are posted in the kitchen for setting up and cleaning up. Sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090e48abaf2da1f58-coffee

Help with Rides to Church: We are looking for volunteers to provide rides to church for church members. If you can help, please email deacons@flemingtonpres.org, and we will email you the SignUpGenius link.

ShopRite Gift Cards: By purchasing a ShopRite gift card, you can support both your family and the FPC Bell Choirs. Don't shop at ShopRite? ShopRite gift cards also are appreciated by local food pantries, struggling to help more people at this time. Email Margaret Sheneman at msheneman@flemingtonpres.org to arrange for purchase and delivery.

Used Clothing Drop-Off Shed: As arranged through Turnkey Enterprises, LLC, Deacons have set up a used clothing drop-off shed in the far back corner of the parking lot.
Items accepted: We can only accept clothing, shoes, belts, purses, blankets, linens, and stuffed toys.
We do NOT accept: Rags, fabric scraps, pillows, rugs, toys, household goods, or any other items not listed above.
Items must be dropped off in closed plastic bags.
Your donation will not be cut up or shredded. The Flemington Presbyterian Church Deacons are paid per pound for the unwanted items.

Pastoral Visit: If you desire a pastoral visit at home or while in the hospital, please call (or have someone contact) the church office at 908-782-3227. Due to HIPAA regulations (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act), hospitals are not permitted to call the church office or give out patient information over the phone.
