Our in-person and virtual Sunday Worship services are both at 10:30 am. We welcome children to all Worship services! For those who prefer, childcare is available for babies through age 5 years.

FPC Welcomes All – Where You Are, As You Are.

Palm Sunday, March 29, 10:30 am. We gather on the sidewalk outside church, then process in together as we recall Jesus’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Immediately after Worship we’ll hold our traditional Egg Dyeing Eggstravaganza. You bring the hard-boiled eggs; we’ll provide the rest. Lunch is included!

Maundy Thursday, April 2, 7:00 pm. We gather to celebrate Jesus’s final supper with his disciples. Just before Worship, we will share a simple Lenten meal at 6:15 pm.

Good Friday, April 3, Noon and 7:00 pm. We gather to remember Christ’s final hours on Earth, his suffering, and his death.

Easter Sunday, April 5, we will celebrate two identical Worship services: at 8:30 am and 10:30 am. Hallelujah! Jesus is risen! We celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ with glorious music, song, Communion, and the Word. At 9:45 am (between the services) we will hold an Easter Egg Hunt for children.

Lenten Collection of Health and Hygiene Products. We continue our tradition of collecting products to benefit clients of Beyond Shelter. Needed items include diapers (especially sizes 5, 6, and 7), laundry pods, toothbrushes and toothpaste, shower gel and hand soap, shampoo and conditioner, baby wipes, and toilet paper.

Sunday School at FPC – There’s something for everyone! Classes begin at 9:30 am. We offer classes for children ages 3 and older and for youth through grade 12. And we have three options for adults: The Wired Word (led by FPC congregants), Bible Study for All (led by Rev. Judy Johnson), and a Gathering for Young Adults (facilitated by Pastor Eric). Nursery care is available for young children up to 2 years.

FPC collects contributions for the Frederick Food Bank on the first Sunday of every month. With so many families facing food insecurity, the current need is especially dire. Please contribute what you can. Currently, there is a special need for canned proteins (tuna, chicken, fish) and single-serving snacks for kids. The food bank also provides clients with shelf-stable milk (cow’s milk, soy, almond), canned vegetables and fruits, and hygiene items. THANK YOU.
