On May 16-18, 2008, First Presbyterian Church of Bartow held their annual men's retreat. Derek Maul, author of “Get Real, A Spiritual Journey for Men", was the keynote speaker.  The setting was outstanding. The men occupied the FFA Leadership Center on Lake Pierce near Haines City.  The retreat was a combination of lecture and small group study.  All went home with a strong sense of God's blessing.

May 4, 2008 we dedicated our new fellowship hall and kitchen with special prayer and a pot luck lunch.  Our fellowship hall was once the main sanctuary and on May 20, 1888, almost 120 years ago to the day, that sanctuary was dedicated to the glory of God.

On April 13, 2008 First Presbyterian Church held their annual church picnic at Homeland Heritage Park in Homeland, Florida.  Once again, the FPC 'Buttrubbers' provided the Bar-be-que! 

Our Outreach Committee, under the leadership of Dave Hallock, Chairman, spent Saturday, November 17 at the Women's Care Center making various repairs to the home and re-building the front porch.
