  • Donating Flower Arrangements for the Chancel

Starting in January, we will go to a new system to sign up to contribute flowers for Sunday services to honor loved ones or celebrate a joyous occasion. Just call the office. It’s as simple as that. 585.586.5688. And you can do that far ahead of time if there is a specific date that you would like to commemorate.

  •  NEW! 2024 Year End Contributions

If you wish a 2024 end-of-year contribution to appear on your December membership statement, it must be received in the church office no later than January 3, 2025. The check must have a 2024 date and indicate “2024 Contribution” or “2025 Pledge Prepayment” on the memo line. All checks with a 2025 date will be deemed to be a 2025 contribution. Your support allows us to fulfill our vision, and we are exceedingly grateful. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  • Sunday Custodian Needed

First Presbyterian is seeking someone to work on Sunday mornings from 6 am to 10 am performing light custodial duties. During winter months this person would be required to salt the Locust Street parking lot and driveway, and shovel the walkways in the event of snow. For information about the responsibilities and wages, please reach out to Bob D. or Faye C.

  • NEW!   Thank you for a great JPC Christmas Party

A huge thank you to everyone who made the party for the kids and mothers of the Judicial Process Commission on Saturday, December 7, a huge success! Janette and Claudia and all of their elves made a delicious lunch, Craig and Erin and a group of FPC youth organized some excellent crafts, Lynn C., her daughter, Anne T., Clara T., and Linda T. knitted some marvelous hats, scarves, and dolls, and Dan T. and the Pittsford Food Cupboard donated both food and Christmas stockings. We gathered at Trinity Emmanuel Presbyterian Church on Jefferson Street and were joined by Santa from the Brighton Kiwanis and a long-time photographer friend who took family portraits. Again, the JPC kids and their moms thank you. Merry Christmas.

  • NEW!   Daily Devotional Email Group

This year the email daily devotional will include the book Yes, And… Daily Meditations by Franciscan friar Richard Rohr, founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque. If you are interested, please contact the church office to get signed up.

  • NEW!   Fellowship Event: Buffalo Bills Tailgate Viewing Party

Buffalo Bills Tailgate Viewing Party - Join us for the final regular season game on Sunday, January 5, at 1 pm (time is subject to flexing) in our Fellowship Hall. Josh Allen and the Bills will be playing the New England Patriots and everyone is invited to bring an appetizer and watch the game on our big screen.

  • Please Help Replace Cameron's Food Pantry Fridge  

The Cameron Community Ministries Board and staff are focused on ensuring vital services are maintained even as they continue to restructure and improve their practices. Recently, board member, Rev. Michael Ford has set up a GoFundMe to raise the rest of the money required to replace Cameron's refrigeration unit used for the food pantry. It's been unusable for some time and greatly limits their storage and preservation of food. Before the GoFundMe was posted, they had raised nearly half the funding needed from board member and community partner donations, so they are well on their way! Your donation in ANY amount will be impactful. The Board and staff send their thanks and gratitude for your support.
