Christmas outreach

  • Giving Trees

    Sunday, November 26 - Sunday, December 10


    Thank you to all who picked up tags - all of them have been taken. A reminder that gifts are due back this Sunday, December 10. 


    Salvation Army Giving Tree

    Should you decide to give a gift certificate (i.e. Walmart, Target) rather than purchase a gift, please give the certificate with the gift tag to Debe Colby. Please return gifts UNWRAPPED and attach the tag to the gift.


    Nursing Home Giving Giving Tree

    We have four nursing homes participating. Gifts returned may be WRAPPED with tags attached. 


    Questions, please contact Debe Colby at 970-242-1923 or outreach@firstpresgj.org.


  • Joy offering

    Christmas Eve - Sunday, December 24


    On Christmas Eve, the Joy Offering is taken. Through the Joy Offering, we are able to support our community and give the gift of hope.


    If you use the Joy Offering envelope, it will go to the PC(USA) Joy Offering which helps the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions provide critical financial assistance to eligible church workers and retired pastors and their families in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The Christmas Joy Offering also supports the education and development of our future leaders at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color. To see and hear from some of those impacted by our gifts, click here.


    If you choose to support our local mission organizations, make your check out to FPC with “local mission support” on the memo line. The offering supports all of these and many other ministries of our local community.
