HAPPY Birthday, Ginney Amen!

Ginney Amen was featured in our debut publication of Name that Member! on her birthday, June 9th, when she turned 103. Wowzah! In case you missed Name that Member, Ginney’s the oldest member of our church being a child of a member since 1931, then confirmed in 1933. In Name that Member we had some fun facts about Ginney being the master organizer of cabinets and closets, her maiden name begins with the letter P, and she went downhill skiing in her 90’s. Again, WOWZAH! We are so blessed to have Ginney in our family of faith!

#FirstPresGB Softball Team continues to hit it out of the Park

Since our June newsletter, our softball team has scored wins for their 3rd (10 to 4) and 4th (25 to 8!) week games but our 5th game we suffered our first defeat at 0-5 and our second defeat during our 6th game on June 26 with a score of 8-14. But we’re not letting that get us down. We plan to come back strong for our upcoming 7th game!

Since our game opener on May 15th our league standing is at 4-2.

We have a bye week for the 4th of July weekend but our final game before playoffs will take place on Sunday, July 10th at 5:30pm on Field 2. Please join us for a night of fun and fellowship! Playoff games to be announced – stay tuned.

Church Chix had a blast

Our Church Chix gathered for their June social on June 9th at the Village Grille in Allouez. We had 14 Chix in attendance. The restaurant was great, service was great and there was great food – but more importantly there was great laughter, fun and fellowship!

Join the Chix for their July social at 1951 West on July 21st at 6pm. Sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board or RSVP to office@firstpresgreenbay.org. Hope you can join the Chix!

Outdoor Worship & Potluck Picnic FUN!

We were blessed to have beautiful weather for our outdoor worship and potluck picnic on Sunday, June 26th.

The Noah’s Ark story was shared in a fun and silly way, with the congregation providing sound effects and a full rainstorm. A paper dove flew over our heads and rainbow streamers reminded us of God’s everlasting promise. Special thanks to the Deacons and Joel Morien for help to make it all happen; Jill Stenson’s solo of “Every time I Feel the Spirit” was a highlight.

After worship, hotdogs on the grill and side dishes were provided by all of you—and we gathered for a potluck picnic with GREAT food and fabulous fellowship. Many recipes were exchanged between members. Thank you to all who were able to join us!

A Great-Big Shout Out to our Green Bay Quilt Shops!

The Green Bay quilt shops had their 2022 Spring Shop-Hop in May. The wonderful shops collected food for our Presbyterian Pantry by offering a special drawing for all who brought in food items. The Outreach Committee extends a big THANK YOU to the quilt shops and to those who donated to the cause. Participating shops included Ana’s Sewing Studio on Anderson Drive, My Favorite Quilt Shop on Dousman Street, Quilting Diva’s on Cardinal Lane and Silver Thimble Quilt & Yarn Shoppe on University Avenue.

A big thank you also goes out to Jana for helping collect all the food items from the shops. You’re terrific, Jana!

FirstPresGB Softball Team Hits it out of the Park

Our softball team home opener was May 15th and we walked away with a 5-3 win! We knocked the score out of the park with a big 13-7 win for our second game on the 22nd so our team record now stands at 2-0. We had a bye-week over Memorial Day weekend, but our games resume on Sunday, June 5th when we play at 5:30 on Field 4 at Cornerstone Park in DePere. Please join us for a night of fun and fellowship!

Holy Week’s Reflection of Thanks

Pantry Thanks

The Outreach Committee would like to thank the Scouts of America for their continued support of the Pantry with their Scouting for Food program. We’ve been part of the program for the last ten years and this year Pantry received 100 bags of groceries which will feed around 50 families. Thank you, Gene Stenson for making the Scouts food drive a success!

And, thank you to our friends at Brown County Community Women’s Club for generously donating 40 bags of groceries to the Pantry. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Your Monthly Rundown

We’re excited to tell you about our newest addition to Connections – the Monthly Rundown.

Have you wondered about the outcome of a recent event? Well, this is where you’ll find the answers!

The Rundown section of Connections features a rundown of recent events so you’ll know the outcome of our outreach efforts, ministries and more. It’s also our bulletin board to receive special messages from fellow members and committees.

Rundowns will publish with our Connections issue on a monthly or bimonthly basis. To submit rundowns for consideration contact us at communications@firstpresgreenbay.org by the 15th of the month to be included in the following month’s publication. And, as always, we look forward to receiving your rundown of what’s been Happening Now!
