FELLOWSHIP
First Presbyterian Church of Lake Charles offers many opportunities for people to come together. Events include:
Fellowship Dinners are held the second Wednesday of every month at 6:30 P.M. The dinners are opened to guests and visitors. Just bring a pot luck, something you pick up or make, and enjoy some wonderful food. It is a nice break from the kitchen at home so come feast on good food and fellowship.
Game Night! The third Saturday evening of each month Fellowship Hall transforms into a rollicking game room for players of all ages. Everyone is encouraged to bring a favorite board game, cards, or dominoes...snacks...and friends if they wish. You're welcome to join a game...but this is also an opportunity to bring friends to play so you don't have to clean your house before or after game night! Have you played Candyland lately? Join us. We have lots of fun. Oh, and don't forget to bring a snack for you...and some to share! The games begin about 6:30 p.m.
The Men's Breakfast takes place every third Saturday of each month except December. A loyal group of cooks prepares a special breakfast for an interchurch gathering of men of all ages who meet for inspiration and fellowship. It is open to all who might be interested in eating great food and starting their day motivated by Christian fellowship, an inspiring devotional, and a guest speaker. This is the best breakfast in town! Come be part of the fun and fellowship.
Mission Mornings are held the third Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. This is an opportunity to meet in the Community Classroom and work on a variety of projects that are generally aimed at missions. Current projects include ground mats for the homeless made from recycled plastic shopping bags and cooling neck cloths for the military. Other projects will be added throughout the year.
A brunch on Easter Sunday, after the first worship service. An Easter Egg hunt for the children follows.
Each Halloween, we offer a “TRUNK OR TREAT” to the children of the neighborhood and wider community in the church parking lot. First Presbyterian Church held the first Trunk or Treat in Lake Charles, October 31, 2001.
As the season of Advent begins, we hold an "Advent Craft Festival". The festival is open to the community and a great opportunity for all to join in making a variety of crafts. This event is a wonderful time for children of all ages. Members and non-members are invited to a light supper at the end of the day's event as the lights in the live oak trees on the church grounds are turned on.
The Fellowship Dinner in December is also the "'Round the Table Carol Sing'". Those who attend sing Christmas Carols, and often enjoy a special presentation by the children and youth.
