Did You Know (Part 2)?

• In December 1963, the Minister of Visitation (Dr. Raymond L. Edie) suggested creating an "associate membership" for seasonal residents and others reluctant to cut their ties with their home churches.  Now known as "affiliates," these members are not able to vote or hold office but are otherwise a vital part of our congregation.
• First Presbyterian is the "parent" church of Faith Presbyterian on Del Webb Avenue in the Phase II section of Sun City.  Their congregation used our facilities in the early 1970's while their building was being erected.
• The University of Life educational programs started in 1976.  The programs are on hiatus for the summer but will continue this fall.
• Our Dial-A-Prayer program began in 1978 and continues today.  Call  623-977-9211  to be led in a recorded prayer.
• In 1988 a new sound system with hearing aid assistance was installed in the Sanctuary.  This system is scheduled to be upgraded as part of this year's anniversary celebration.
• Also in 1988, the church landscaping was changed from grass to xeriscaping.
• The church's first computer was purchased in 1990.
