Rev. Dr. Jean Risley Sunday November 12 2017 Luke 14:28-32 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’ [audio mp3="https://www.fpcnewport.org/FPCwordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/2017_11_12.mp3"][/audio]...

Rev. Dr. Jean Risley Sunday October 8 2017 Matthew 12: 9-21 Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” [audio mp3="https://www.fpcnewport.org/FPCwordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017_10_08.mp3"][/audio]...

A discussion on 1 John to parallel Pastor Mike's sermon series will be facilitated by John Wick.  Join this in depth discussion in the Lynch Room, upstairs off of the Fellowship Hall.
A study on the New Testament book of Philippians will focus on the joy found in the Christian life.  Taught by Don Estes, the class meets in the Hometime Room, on the main level off of the Fellowship Hall.

Beginning Sunday, February 9, 2020 through Palm Sunday, from 9:30 am to 10:15 am, instead of a regular Sunday School class, Pastor Herring and Rosanne Franco will be preparing our fourth through ninth graders for this by studying the Westminster Shorter Catechism.  On Palm Sunday, those students who would like to join the First Presbyterian Church as members will meet with the Elders.  Following this time, they will join the church during the worship service.  Pastor Mike and Rosanne will turn something that may sound boring into something fun and interesting!  If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Herring or the Christian Education Elders Mikyong Kim and Daryl Kolator. 

Join us Palm Sunday as our FPC kids will sing, and Pastor Mike preaches on The March from Matthew 21:1-11.  Palm Sunday at FPC Newport will be a morning of celebration and praise and fellowship.  We want you to feel safe, so safety precautions are implemented including social distancing and readily available disposable masks and hand sanitizer.  Last year, our doors were closed.  This year, we are open and invite you to join us for this joyous day.
Easter Worship at 10:30 am promises to be a morning of rejoicing and celebration.  We celebrate our Risen Savior.  We celebrate joining together in person.  Come worship with us!  FPC Kids will be singing.  Pastor Mike will preach a message of hope.  We want you to feel safe, so we implement precautions such as social distancing and the availability of hand sanitizer and disposable masks. We can't wait to see you.  (There will be no Sunday School on Easter.)
