The Faces of God

We are the Faces of God, each person.  This program year, we are celebrating the power of God’s Spirit in each of us, revealing God’s Face in each of us.  The gifts of the Spirit run through us all, granted by God Almighty.  In this 2016-17 Program year, we are going to experience and celebrate those gifts with a set of programs designed to entice our senses, following the seasons of the year.

If you are interested, please contact Rev. Peter Hofstra at pastorpeter@fpcperthamboy.org or through the Church office of the First Presbyterian Church of Perth Amboy at 732-826-2132 for more information.  Please watch our FB page at www.facebook.org/fpcperthamboy for more up to date information. 

These events will occur on Sundays, following worship.  There will be program time, the tour, the concert, etc., lasting approximately an hour.  There will be a time of worship gathered around the Celebration of the Lord’s Supper, lasting approximately a half hour.  There will be a meal that we will share together in fellowship, perhaps also an hour long.  The aim is to be home by the early evening in order to prepare for the week to follow.

The times and prices will be forthcoming as the final details are put into place.  At this time, for group management purposes, our target size for each program is approximately twenty.
