As we enter the Christmas season here at FPCN, we cannot help but to reflect on the greatest gift we have received: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

We are so thankful for the gifts our congregation has faithfully entrusted to this church. We continually work to be good stewards of those gifts and to use them to further the ministry and mission of First Presbyterian Church of Naples, in the Heart of Naples with the Love of God: we worship, we love, we grow, and we serve. Thanks to your gifts, we truly can change hearts and share God’s love with our community - both near and far. We are delighted to see increased participation across all generations, in person and online, as we continue to provide multiple opportunities for worship, study, and service. As we approach year-end, we would remind you to fulfill your 2022 pledge, if you have not done so already, and, in recognition of our wonderful ministry, suggest you may want to prayerfully consider making an additional gift for 2022. When you make your Year-End Gift, here are a couple of things to keep in mind:  In order to count towards your 2022 contributions, gifts must be received in the office by noon on Friday, December 30, or postmarked by Saturday, December 31. (Most banks and financial institutions will be closed on

Monday, December 26 for the Christmas holiday.)  Checks coming directly from your financial institutions, whether it be from your investment account, from an IRA or from a Qualified

Charitable Distribution account, should be made out to First Presbyterian Church of Naples, and your name should appear in the memo line or on the accompanying check stub or donation letter.  Gifts from your IRA can be counted as part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).  Gifts of appreciated securities including stock, bonds, and mutual funds can be directly donated to First Presbyterian Church of Naples, potentially increasing your gift and your tax deduction. Please notify Debbie Savage if you chose to do this so she can properly apply the gift.  First Presbyterian Church of Naples is eligible to receive Donor Advised Fund grants, should you wish to make a contribution from a Donor

Advised Fund.  Please feel free to contact Debbie Savage with any questions you or your financial institution may have. She can be reached via email at debbies@fpcnaples.org or by phone at 239.262.1311, ext. 2042. On behalf of First Presbyterian Church of Naples, thank you for your faithful support! We wish you many blessings as we celebrate the gift of our Savior this Christmas! We look forward to “Growing Together Joyfully” in 2023!
