Registration has begun for FPC Vacation Bible School. This year's theme is "Beach Party - Surfin' Through the Scriptures". The dates are July 14-18, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. VBS is open to children ages 3 through those entering the sixth grade. Registration forms are available here and should be returned to the church office. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Meg at revmegflannagan@gmail.com

A Note of Appreciation for Susan Marks
Mrs. Susan Marks retired after 13 years of service as church administrator. A luncheon was held in her honor on Sunday, June 1, with plenty of orange and a chorus of "Rocky Top" to celebrate her devotion to First Presbyterian Church and the University of Tennessee. We appreciate all that she has done for the FPC family.

Additional Volunteer Opportunities
In need of a summer project?  Have a few hours to give?  Our church library is in need of some reorganization. We are looking for 3 or 4 folks who could work together in sifting, sorting, and shifting.  Please call the church office or email Meg if you are interested in helping (revmegflannagan@gmail.com).
Each time we baptize a child, we make promises to love and nurture them.  We also promise to teach them the Christian faith.  If you haven't taught Sunday School in a while, now is the time!  We need teachers to sign up for one week between June 29 and August 3.  Lesson plans are provided.  This is a wonderful opportunity for you to share your story and learn from our children!  Please call or email Meg if you are ready to serve.
