[To Be Continued...In Us](https://firstpreskingsport.org/sermon-series/to-be-continued-in-us/) - During the summer, Dr. Shelton will do a sermon series entitled “TO BE CONTINUED”, based on Acts. Luke, its author, calls it “ACTS OF APOSTLES” but it might be called the ACTS OF HOLY SPIRIT. Acts was never meant to be APOSTLES’ GREATEST HITS. The main character wasn’t John, Peter, or Paul but the HOLY SPIRIT. Luke picks up after Easter. The Disciples wait in an Upper Room, huddled in fear. The Holy Spirit comes in a mighty way and the Church was born. This wasn’t Church as a place to come and go. This was Church as it was meant to be: a community, working together, serving together, caring for each other, carrying on Jesus’ mission. This movement soon spread out in many directions, took in all people, and turned the world upside down. Luke will tell gripping stories of courage, love, and excitement. All the HEROES eventually die but the JESUS MOVEMENT kept going. - [Lessons from the School of Hard Knocks](https://firstpreskingsport.org/sermon-series/lessons-from-the-school-of-hard-knocks/) - [The Sermon on the Mount](https://firstpreskingsport.org/sermon-series/the-sermon-on-the-mount/) ## Sermon Speakers - [Dr. Mike Shelton](https://firstpreskingsport.org/sermon-speaker/dr-mike-shelton/) - [Rev.

Allen Huff](https://firstpreskingsport.org/sermon-speaker/rev-allen-huff/) ## Groups - [Deacons](https://firstpreskingsport.org/group/deacons/) - According to scripture, some Christians are called to be deacons. The ministry of a deacon is one of sympathy, witness, and service after the example of Jesus Christ. Deacons are given the particular responsibility for building up and empowering the most vulnerable members of God’s people by ministering to those who are in need, to the sick, the friendless, and to any who may be in distress. In the Presbyterian Church, women and men are ordained into the office of a deacon, and the board which organizes and administers the work and ministry of the deacons is called The Diaconate. - [Elders](https://firstpreskingsport.org/group/elders/) - The Session is the governing body of a Presbyterian congregation and is responsible for the mission and government of that congregation. It consists of the active elders plus the pastor or co-pastors and any associate pastors, all of whom have equal voting privileges. Elders are elected by the congregation, ordinarily for three year terms with approximately one third of the session rotating off and on each year. In our church two youth elders are also elected each year for one year terms. The session is moderated by the pastor of the church. - [Ministerial Staff](https://firstpreskingsport.org/group/ministerial-staff/) - This is a listing of FPC’s ministerial staff. - [Administrative Staff](https://firstpreskingsport.org/group/administrative-staff/) - [Youth Elder](https://firstpreskingsport.org/group/elders/youth-elder/)
