All Saints Day is November 1. Our worship service on All Saints Day will provide the opportunity to give glory to God for the holy lives of believers of this and every age. At our worship experience, we will continue the tradition of giving thanks to members and friends (family) of our community of faith who have died since November 1, 2019. We will be utilizing this Service as an opportunity to lift up a unique, piece of music, Creed, that was created in honor of Thomas Gray.

If you have had a family member who has passed since November 1, of 2019, would you please contact the church office. If you have a photo of the person who has passed, we would like to utilize the photo within the context of the service. Because of the time needed to prepare and integrate this into our online service, we would ask if you would please share this information to

the church office by October 15, 2020. Please share the information with Linda Walker, (FPCorrecep@gmail.com).

Boiling Springs Savings Bank, a long-time neighbor and friend of FPC, has provided us for a number of years with an unprecedented opportunity for fundraising. Through the Community Alliance Banking Program, Boiling Springs will make a quarterly donation, without cost to you, to FPC. The donation is based on the average balances in the participating member’s/friend’s designated accounts. Eligible accounts include checking, savings, CD’s, Premium Checking, Money Markets and Individual Retirement accounts. Both new and existing accounts are eligible.

When you open your new account at Boiling Springs, simply tell the customer service rep that you would like this account to be included as part of the Community Alliance Banking Program for First Presbyterian Church of Rutherford. If you already have an existing account with Boiling Springs, just visit one of their branches to fill out an enrollment form designating the account to be included in the Community Alliance Banking Program for FPC. It is very important to note that all of your account information is kept strictly confidential within Boiling Springs. No one from FPC will have any knowledge of the donor’s account information or account balance. To ensure complete privacy, when Boiling Springs makes their quarterly donation, they do not even provide a list of those who have named FPC for receipt of the funds. We encourage all members and friends of FPC to enroll because, to put is simply, the more members and friends that enroll the larger the quarterly bank donation becomes. For more information, please contact the Church office.
