Circles

As a woman in this church, it is so important to stay connected with each other.  Joining one of the Presbyterian Women’s Circles can be such a blessing in your life.  While Circles are not self-help groups, the study of the Bible and fellowship with other Christian women can take on different meanings during various stages of our lives.  Each Circle meets a different need and can be such a comfort in our daily walk as Christians.  First is the need for membership then fellowship and then for leadership.  All of the Circles are safe havens where Christian women can connect and focus on those things that are truly important in life.

The Harriett Caldwell Circle meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in member's homes.  Their study is the Presbyterian Women Horizon Bible Study.  For more information, contact June Schafer - 877-4158 or Sallie Smith - 879-2455.

The Proverbs 31 Circle meets the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in member's homes.  They discuss everyday life topics.  For more informatio, contaact Wendi Arms - 895-1444 or Wendi.Arms @converse.edu.

The Monday Afternoon Circle meets the 2nd Monday of each month at 3:00 p.m. in Room #114 at the Church.  Their study is the Presbyterian Women Horizon Bible Study and is led by Louise Ables.  For more information, contact Judy Brown - 458-8212.

Fellowship
 

Fellowship Ministry

The Fellowship Ministry’s duties as outlined by the Board of Deacons consists of two church-wide fellowship events each calendar year.  The ministry is chaired and co-chaired by deacons, and the committee is comprised of members from various facets of our church family.  Semi-annual events and activities are planned throughout the calendar year to promote fellowship between our existing members, visitors and community.

 

 

Stitchin’ Group

For all women who enjoy stitchin’!  Bring your lunch and meet with us each month.  Come share your ideas, patterns and enjoy fellowship together!  Check our publications for the specific day of the month as it sometimes changes.

 

 

Evening Fellowship Groups

First Presbyterian Church of Greer (FPCG) has several fellowship groups that get together for fun, food, and fellowship in people’s homes or out to eat.  This is a wonderful way for long-time and recent members and visitors to get to know each other in Christian settings.

 

 

Scrapbook Fellowship Group

Several women enjoy getting together to scrapbook their treasured family memories, activities and events.  From weekend getaways to spur-to-the-moment gatherings, these women get together to “scrap” at the church, in someone’s home, or at an official scrapbook event.  Through these fellowship opportunities, there is a Christian-family connectedness as personal stories are captured.

 

 

Book Club

The book club has a life of its own.  Members choose a book to read and discuss once a month, but it doesn’t stop there.  They invite authors to speak at their meetings, go on train rides, have luncheons, and go on overnight excursions.  There are quite a few book club members and not all are members of First Presbyterian Church of Greer (FPCG), but they’re all friends of the church and community.

 

Ageless Wonders

The vision of our Ageless Wonders group is to be supportive of each other and to enhance our Christian experience while providing fellowship and service to others.  Meetings are the 3rd Thursday of each month.

Men's Lunch Group

The Ageless Wonders, while primarily a group of adults age 55 and over, chose the name because everyone is welcome to participate. The group meets monthly on the third Thursday, September – May.

Children
 

Crib Nursery—Three Year Olds

 

Constant, safe, and loving Christian care is provided during all worship services, Sunday School, Wonderful Wednesday, and Vacation Bible School. In the Crib Nursery, the Two-Year-Old classroom, and the Three-Year-Old classroom there is a paid nursery worker along with volunteers who take care of our little ones. We must have at least two approved assistants in these rooms at all times. Adults and youth who have had background checks and have been members longer than six months are encouraged to offer their time as volunteers in the nursery.

 

 

 

Four and Five Year Olds

 

Sunday School and Wonderful Wednesday classes are provided for four and five year olds. Adults with a love of children and an excitement for Christ who have been approved through Safety Initiatives and been a member of FPCG for longer than six months, are welcomed and encouraged to nurture these children as they discover God in their lives and how much he loves them through Jesus Christ.

 

 

 

Bibleville Sunday School for Elementary Children

 

Bibleville is an exciting new Sunday School format for elementary-aged children. We’re combining the best of both worlds from the traditional and rotation-style Sunday School!

 

 

 

· Each grade has a primary teacher all school year.

 

· Each grade has its own classroom.

 

· Each grade has a shepherd who nurtures a relationship with the children.

 

· Each grade uses specific curriculum chosen especially for their age.

 

Bibleville “specialty” teachers travel to the classrooms bringing lessons alive through art, science, cooking, drama, and audio visual aids when appropriate

 

 


Sacrament Class - Click here for more information

 

These six to eight sessions are designed to include parents as our third graders explore and experience what it truly means to partake of the Lord’s Supper. These meaningful, interactive sessions are held in the fall during the Sunday School and Wonderful Wednesday hours. Once the children complete the class, they will meet with the Session for their blessing. Adults are encouraged to help with the teaching and mentoring components of this important educational, faith-developing offering.
