During the social isolation periods of the Covid 19 pandemic FPC Milford has been recording worship services. You can access these recordings by clicking on the Online Worship button. We have been offering in-person worship opportunities, following the Governor's recommendations to religious communities for safe practice.
2nd Friday hosts a multitude of different events on the 2nd Friday of most months (December excluded). Past events have been in-person happenings but since March 2020 and Covid-19 they’ve been on-line using Zoom. Past happenings have included speakers from the Shipwreck Museum in Fenwick Island, Funland in Rehoboth Beach, author Jim Duffy of Secrets of the Eastern Shore fame, game nights with young and old, an on-line scavenger hunt, and on-line story telling. Local history is often a favorite and has included several local historians and we even found that our Church’s original (1910) organ was purchased with financial assistance of Andrew Carnegie. Some events are serious, some are funny, some are educational but all are interesting. All are free and family-friendly.
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” 3 John 1:4 We believe that our children are a vital part of our congregation and welcome them into our faith. After beginning worship in the sanctuary with their families, children ages 2-18 may attend Church School for the remainder of the service. Children are provided with a faith-based lesson adaptable to all ages, a snack and fun time which may include games, crafts and music. It is our hope that our children will enjoy learning about the love of Jesus and the Word of God as they grow and continue to walk in their faith and truth. During this time of physical distancing due to COVID-19, our Church School program is offered virtually. In-person worship is offered the first and third Sunday of each month, and children and families attend the entire worship service together at this time. Online worship is available every week. Most worship services include a "Youth Moment."
The First Presbyterian Church of Milford takes Christ’s call to “Love your neighbor as yourself” seriously. The congregation, as individual members and as a whole, donates time, talent and treasure to a host of ministries dedicated to serving those in need, including Meals on Wheels, People’s Place, Home of the Brave, Habitat for Humanity, the State Service Center, Hospice and others. The Family Gathering Soup Kitchen meets at the church each Monday evening at 6:30PM,offering a warm greeting, a free, hot meal and respect to all who enter. Under the direction of Pastor Bridgette Knowles, the soup kitchen provides fellowship as well as food to those who are often lonely as well as hungry. Office and conference space for The Coming E.D.G.E. is also provided at FPCM. This 501(c)3 organization has operated from the church since August, 2019. The purpose of The Coming E.D.G.E. is to assist at risk youth, and young adults aging out of the foster care system with educational and employment assistance as well as training, counseling, financial literacy and housing assistance. Under the direction of Ms. Tanya D. Mann, the organization helps young people transition successfully to adulthood who may otherwise fall through the cracks.
