     Summer 2014 at First Pres. is many things this year. Some tried and true events such as Vacation Bible School, Family Camping in the Sierras and Bubble Studies have been taking place. Some new things have also begun. For starters, we've launched our Community Building Initiative and our groups are continuing to formulate who they are what they will look like.  Short term Mission Trips have happened again this summer.  For some it was the first time to go overseas and for others it was familiar but not any less exciting to see God at work in His world.  Be on the look out for reports form our summer Mission Travelers.

     In this issue of First Pres(s) we are highlighting Community in action.  Read and be encouraged by the hands and feet of our church family going about God's work creating community in our community.
