SUMMARY:Advent Painting Class
DESCRIPTION:This year marks FPC’s fifth annual Advent Painting Class\, an experience that invites children in third through fifth grades to explore the Nativity through art. What began as a simple idea has become a beloved tradition that brings generations together\, helps children engage more deeply with the story of Christ’s birth and carries their gifts far beyond the classroom. \nTo learn more\, email Kara Clark at kclark@fpcspartanburg.org.

SUMMARY:Service of Comfort & Light
DESCRIPTION:The season of Advent is a time of excitement\, anticipation\, peace\, and joy. However\, many people find that the holiday season can be filled with anything but\, especially due to the loss of a loved one or other difficult circumstances. \nIf you relate to this feeling\, we invite you to join us in the Chapel for a contemplative service of tender hope and abiding love. The evening will include candle lighting and an opportunity to pray with one of our pastors. \n\n“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled\, and do not let them be afraid.” \nJohn 14:27 (NRSVUE)
