The Tuesday morning Bible Study Discussion has met with great success, but we know that schedules may not permit everyone interested to attend. We will gladly offer another class or two if there is sufficient demand. Please contact the church office at stauntonfirst@gmail.com or 540-886-0704 to express your interest in a Sunday morning class, a Sunday after worship class, a weekday evening class, or a monthly seminar series. Also, please let us know what sort of class you would prefer. Some options include Bible study, book study, lecture, discussion, witness, prayer, social…we want to provide whatever you want, so please let us know.  Thanks for your continued support!

Please join us in sharing Christmas with adults in our community! The Christmas Giving Tree will be up this Sunday, November 24. The purpose is to give a gift to those adults in our community with few resources and little to no family support.

Folks are encouraged to select an ornament with someone's name on it, shop, and return the gift (and the ornament) by Wednesday, December 11. You can put the gift under the tree or bring it into the office.

Please do not wrap the gift. Instead, please put it in a gift bag.

Thank you!
