Washington Elementary School is part of San Antonio ISD. The enrollment is currently 339 students in grade PreK through 6th grade. Their campus is 99% economically disadvantaged and 73% of students are considered at risk of dropping out of school.
Washington Elementary needs help with the purchase of supplies for their school store. The school store serves as a reward for hitting school attendance and academic goals. Students earn points and are allowed to spend those points at the store. You can purchase items from their Amazon wish list or feel free to drop off toys/items at FPC.

The life of the congregation is enriched by the many different kinds of service that members offer. This represents an expression of Paul’s great picture of the church as the body of Christ, with each member contributing to the health of the whole. (I Corinthians 12)
Congregational leadership is one important area of service in the church. Each year, members of First Presbyterian Church are called by the congregation to exercise a ministry of leadership within the church as Elders, Deacons and Trustees. These are distinctive leadership roles, calling for particular gifts and commitment.
The offices of Deacon and Elder are part of the rich history of our Judeo-Christian heritage. Please read the scriptures listed below as you seek the leading of the Holy Spirit before completing the nomination form: 1 Timothy 3, 1 Timothy 5, 1 Peter 5, and Titus 1.
The Church Officer Nominating Committee is now seeking names to consider for nomination for service as Elders, Deacons, and Trustees. The Committee asks the congregation to suggest the names of persons interested in serving who have been regular in worship, active in the life of FPC, generous in support of our ministry and faithful in their life and witness to the gospel.
The committee will meet and consider the persons suggested by the congregation together with the members who have served as officers in the past. The committee will exercise its collective judgment in deciding which members to nominate and present to the congregation for election.
