First Presbyterian Church, Bordentown

In 2008, the PC(USA) joined the National Council of Churches in adopting an updated social creed for the globalized age of the 21st century. The Social Creed for the 21st Century states: “In our era of globalization we offer a vision of a society that shares more and consumes less … seeks compassion over suspicion and equality over domination … and finds security in joined hands rather than in massed arms.” Learn more about A Social Creed for the 21st Century and its connection to Labor Day in today's Mission Yearbook entry: https://hubs.ly/Q02N4F780

We had a blast at Faith and Family night at the Trenton Thunder game last night. Beautiful weather, fellowship, fireworks… and the Thunder won!

Bob brought so much joy to our congregation through his music. He was an incredibly talented pianist, but his kindness, generosity, and unshakeable faith will be missed even more than his musicianship.

A viewing will be held on Thursday, July 18 from 6pm - 8pm at Bordentown Home for Funerals and a funeral service will be held in our sanctuary on Friday, July 19 at 10:30am. You are invited to join us as we celebrate his life.

Jean Allegretti Deck Dedication -July 13, 2024 at Johnsonburg Camp and Retreat Center, NJ

FPC Bordentown was proud to represent the church and honor the life of Jean Allegretti. A donation in her name provided resources to rebuild and expand the dining hall deck at Johnsonburg Camp & Retreat Center. The deck is a beloved space to enjoy coffee before breakfast, reflect near the pond, and gather for photos after making memories at camp. Thank you, all, who joined the dedication today, and those who attended in spirit.

Tomorrow at 6pm 🎉
Introducing “Let Your Yoga Dance”!
An experience that melts away tension through your own expression of joyful movement.
No yoga or dance experience is necessary.
Cost is $15 with a portion donated towards our mission efforts. Bring a mat, water, and a big smile 😊
