FISCAL YEAR-END GIVING

June marks the final month of our fiscal year and the beginning of summer in full swing. We are grateful that the 2025–2026 fiscal year has been strong to date, and we thank you for your continued generosity and faithful support of the Ministry Budget.

As we approach year-end, our prayer is to finish the fiscal year well. If you are traveling or away during the summer, you can still give in several convenient ways:

• Online giving
• Mail-in gifts
• IRA distributions (RMD or Qualified Charitable Distributions)
• Donor Advised Funds or Trust distributions
• Gifts of appreciated stock

REGISTER NOW: WOMEN’S SUMMER BIBLE STUDY

Registration is open for the First Pres Women’s Summer Bible Study: Now and Not Yet by bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons. Too often, we feel disappointed with our “right now”—our life circumstances, our relationships, our lack of progress towards our dreams and goals, our daily grind. Simons reminds us of God’s powerful provision and faithful promises for those “who have ears to hear.” The study will be offered on Tuesdays, June 16–July 28, 9:30-11:00am and 6:00-7:30pm, and Wednesdays, June 17–July 29, 9:30-11:00am (with childcare). We hope you will join us this summer! Visit Click here to register.
