First Presbyterian Church, Fernandina Beach, Florida

Our group of 18 is having a wonderful time in Tuscaloosa this week.  The team is working at two different sites during the day and enjoying the gracious hospitality of FPC Tuscaloosa at night.  The weather is, and I quote, “hot.”

We’re really proud of our members! »»

If you will go into life today, and every day, saying over and over within yourself, I am a friend of Jesus, because Jesus has chosen me; I am a child of God, to love God’s children; I am God’s prayer partner; I am working with God and for God, God is working through me as a friend of Jesus  – it will turn your life around.

If you will take up that spirit of friendship with Jesus, your life will be changed incredibly. It will change the way you work, the way you act, the way you speak, your tone of voice, the way you relate to others.  It will change your outlook, your attitude, your energy level, and life will be better for you and everyone you meet – because you are a friend of Jesus!

Meet the newest member of the FPC team!

My Grandma knew a lot about war. Grandpa fought in WW 1, and later seven of her eight sons, who were pilots in the Royal Air Force were killed in WW II. On the wall of the lobby of her house she had hung the proud photographs of each of her boys when they got their wings, and later it seemed like each time we visited her during that war, one more photograph was turned face to the wall and the official notification telegram was pasted on the back. »»

My Grandma often quizzed me on my bible knowledge and she expected me to remember and promptly recall some of the more arcane items, such as the number of total number of Bible chapters, (1189); the total number of chapters in the Old Testament, (9290; the total chapters in the New Testament, (260); the longest chapter, (Psalms 119); the shortest chapter, (Psalms 117) and so forth. »»
