Welcome to the First Presbyterian Church of Monroe, NY

Super Bowl Subs

What's better than a Sunday afternoon football game? A football game with great food! Well, you're in luck because our Logos Youth are selling Super-Bowl Sub Hero packages to raise funds for a special program they will be attending called "Night Watch" at St. John the Divine.

For just $10 you get a homemade sub with turkey, American cheese, lettuce and tomato, chicken noodle soup, chips and a bottle of water. Pick-up will be in New Fellowship Hall after the 10:00am service on February 5th. Please see the sign-up sheet or contact: Sandy Montross at: 238-2863 or see Jim or Carrie Leach after church. Orders must be in by Sunday, January 29th!

Per Capita

What is Per Capita? Per Capita is the administrative cost of our higher governing bodies. It is based on the number of active members in each congregation.

Every congregation is expected to pay the Per Capita for the entire year. Our church will pay $9,009.00 for 2012. That comes out to $29.25/Member.

Many of you use the Per Capita envelope in your boxes. If you do not have the Per Capita envelope but would like to contribute your portion, you can send a check to the church office with Per Capita written in the memo line. The amount is figured as follows:

  1. 2 adult members: 2 x $29.25 = $58.50
  2. 2 adult members + one confirmed youth member: 3 x $29.25 = $87.75
  3. 1 adult member + 1 confirmed youth member: 2 x $29.25 = $58.50

Thank you everyone!

Food Pantry

Our Food Pantry is in need of shopping bags. If you have any to spare, please drop them off in the office. Thank you!

Cottage Workers

We are about to have a critical labor shortage, selling at the Cottage on Saturday mornings, 10:00am - Noon

Without more volunteers we will be unable to open at least twice a month.

The job itself is not hard, but there is no question about the difficulty of maintaining one's patience while selling on a Saturday. However, it is a service to the poor of our community, and it does help the budget.

If we had a dozen or so teams of two or three people signed up, each team would need to work only 2 or 3 times a year. Please give it serious consideration, call the office, and volunteer. Thank you.
