VETERANS’ DONATIONS
We Support Our Troops
We appreciate the generous donations for our Veterans each month! We will continue to collect socks, underwear, T-shirts, sweatshirts (preferably all in dark colors) and toiletries. The sizes we are looking for are L, XL, and XXL.
 
Look for our Veterans’ cart outside the Narthex on Sundays. or drop your donated items at the Office. Thank you for the wonderful support for our veterans!
MISSION FOR ISRAEL
Support Samaritan’s Purse Efforts
The Mission Committee continues to accept checks to FHPC in support of the efforts of Samaritan’s Purse to displaced families in Israel. They are supporting churches and Christian partners in Israel as they reach out to civilians who have been impacted. Samaritan’s Purse has a history of also working in Palestinian areas and continues today. They are committed to doing what they can to help those in need and have officially offered the government of Israel emergency field hospitals along with medical personnel, supplies, and equipment. You can make a check to FHPC with “Israel” in the memo line or with a note.
DONATE GLASSES AND CHANGE LIVES
FHPC Supports Lions Club International
We are collecting eyeglasses and hearing aids to recycle through Lions Club Mission in helping a child learn to read, helping an adult succeed in their job, or helping a senior maintain independence. These eyeglasses help students read better and adults perform their job duties more effectively. There are numerous stories of how donated eyeglasses have changed the lives of those in foreign countries. Our local Lions Club also does what they can to help people access eye health information and resources in our own community. Please feel free to drop off your donations at the Church on Sundays or the Church Office during the week.
EXTENDED HANDS FOOD BANK
Stock the Shelves
The Mission Committe is continuing to collect turkeys and sides through December for Extended Hands Food Bank. There are many families that need these items for a nice Christmas meal. If you are able, please help us make someone’s Holiday a little better.

Extended Hands Food Bank is in dire need of Peanut Butter and Jellies. These are some of the staples that most people can use and will go a long way. We here in the Mission Committee are asking you to help us help those less fortunate.
 
We will continue to have shopping carts in front of the Narthex on Sunday mornings, or you can bring to the office during the week. There are many people in our Fountain Hills area that depend on the Food Bank. 

Mission Ministry

Mission Statement

Good works are the results of, not the requirement for salvation.
 
Presbyterians have a long and extraordinary record of working for economic and human rights justice around the world.
 
Presbytery Disaster Assistance, for example, ranks among the nation’s most active aid organization, nationally and internationally in cooperation with other aid providers as well as other religious groups.
 
 
 
All the beautiful sentiments
in the world, weigh less than
a single lovely action.
The mission of the church is given form by God’s grace in the world as told in the Bible and understood by faith.
 
Sharing God’s love,
by giving and doing.
  • Include people who are poor and oppressed in your daily prayers.
  • Include people who are poor and oppressed in your personal or household budget.
  • Pay close attention to economic and political conditions in other nations. You can’t help if you don’t know what is really going on.
  • Resolve to be a well-informed person who tests the world view in the news against the world view in the Bible.
  • Utilize the internet to located independent and alternative news sources with unique, on-the-spot perspectives.
