Christian Fellowship
SUNDAY SUMMER BRUNCH WITH A TWIST
July 9 and August 6
Anyone interested can join other members of the church for Sunday Brunch at a local restaurant after church.
How does it work?
Anyone interested in going to Brunch on July 9 and/or Aug 6 will write their names
on a slip of paper which will be placed in the box for a lottery drawing.
The number of slips in the box will determine on how many groups there will be. Names will be pulled from the box and each group will choose a local restaurant for their group to go for Brunch (*everyone pays for their own meal)
So, if you'd like to have brunch and get to know each other a little better, SIGN UP!

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON PAINTING FINDS NEW HOME
A painting done by Leslie Carsky Dickerson has been loaned to First Presbyterian Church by the Johnstown Public Library. The Elizabeth Cady Stanton portrait was created to spark more interest and pride in this Fulton County native and member of our church.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) set the agenda for the first Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York and spent most of her life working to enfranchise women in the political process. To fully appreciate her courage and accomplishments, one has to remember the times in which she lived. When she began to speak in public it was viewed as immoral. At that time a woman was not allowed to attend college, own property if married, vote, be on a jury, have legal custody of her own children nor divorce her husband on grounds of abuse or abandonment. And when Cady Stanton stood up for the rights of women she was vilified for doing so. She persevered because of her passion, intelligence and will. She was an inspiring woman of action whose struggle helped solidify human rights for all Americans.
PHOTOS IN FELLOWSHIP HALL
The current display of Maryde King’s wild flower photos in Fellowship Hall depicts alien wildflowers, i.e. flowers that are growing uncultivated in the wild, but are not native to the area as are true wildflowers. These are wildflowers brought here from other lands, sometimes in the hay the early settlers brought to feed their livestock, sometimes purposefully brought for medical or other useful purposes, and some are garden escapes, plants brought over from someone’s garden that "went wild".
