Visit our facebook, follow the FPC Facebook Group. Learn of mission opportunities. Consider ACT initiatives and email FPC Action.

A message from Miss Good, Family Ministry Director: "Included are reminders during out time apart. We may not be together physically but I am keeping each and every one of you close in my heart and prayers. I am available by phone and email. Remember to "feed the fish," which will be "collected" virtually on April 5, Palm Sunday. I will be asking everyone to email me their total collections by April 2. For a link and details to our online Sunday School instruction, please email me; you may share this lesson as a family."
When Jesus said, “Follow Me,” doubtful Facebook was in mind! But right now, we can use it to keep connected. The FPC Facebook page now has a Facebook group which makes interactive communication simpler. Friends and members are encouraged to (1) sign in (or new users, create a Facebook account); (2) go to FPC Group; (3) Once on the group page, click “Follow;" and (4) Check-in at your convenience. See what members are posting. Chime in yourself! Let us use our Facebook Group as a way to uplift each other until we are face-to-face again. Share activities to keep occupied. Recommend a book. Post a photo, prayer, or meditation. Write something funny! Send a video that others might enjoy. The FPC Annapolis Group can be a place for fellowship, support, encouragement. Miss your church family? Find fellowship, follow First... on Facebook! Questions.

The church participates in a summer softball league with other local churches. The season consists of eight games on Mondays or Wednesdays (about one per week) in June and July.

We have a regular roster of about two dozen players and just as many fans. To join the fun, email Captain Vince Panella. Go Dukes!
