Announcements
Quilts of Valor Ceremony
A ceremony was held at church to present some of our members who served in the military with special "Quilts of Valor," to thank them for their service.

Safe Parking Program
FPC has participated in the City of Ashland Safe Parking program since August 2019. We have three overnight parking spots available to those who are experiencing homelessness. (During COVID, we are providing up to 6 parking spots.) Those in need of safe parking may request a spot through the Ashland Community Resource Center.

Let's Catch Up
LET’S CATCH UP! What have you been up to while staying at home? If you can email pastor Dan (revfowler@yahoo.com) a picture and short description, we can put them up on the PowerPoint presentation. Remember, that if there are children in the picture we can't use it unless we have written permission from their parents.
Spiritual Counsel
Need some spiritual counsel? Would you like to have someone pray with you? Do you need to meet with the pastor regarding church business? Please contact Pastor Dan on his email address or call him at home! He will meet you either by phone or virtually on ZoomJ
Want some time outside?
Want to experience some time outside, feel the warm sun on your face AND help the church at the same time? Our church campus could use some weeding. If you have some time available (who doesn’t these days?) please come down and help our campus look well cared for. There is a green bin next to the garbage bin by Calvin Hall for the weeds.
Computer Issues?
Having computer problems? Is it hard to get on YouTube or Zoom? We can help! Call or email Pastor Dan and he can connect you with someone from the church to give you tech support.
