Carrying our faith into Colby

Potlucks, food pantry support, Christmas Eve deliveries, and a steady care for our neighbors — here's how First Presbyterian serves this community.

More Fun Together

Our monthly potluck

On the first Tuesday of every month, our fellowship hall fills up for “More Fun Together” — a potluck open to the whole congregation and community. Good food, good company, and a standing invitation.

1st Tuesdays

Fellowship Hall · bring a dish to share, or just bring yourself.

Christmas Eve Tradition

Cookies for those working the night shift

Every Christmas Eve, our congregation delivers cookies and baked goods to those who keep Colby running while everyone else celebrates: the police department, the fire station, the hospital, elder-care facilities, a local hotel, and gas stations. We also prepare Christmas gift boxes for Options, which serves families experiencing domestic violence.

A small thank-you, every year

Baked goods and gratitude for first responders, hospital staff, and elder-care workers — plus gift boxes for families served by Options.

Ongoing Support

Steady care, week after week

Genesis-Thomas County Food Pantry

We provide ongoing financial gifts and regularly collect non-perishable food, toiletries, and cleaning products for our local food pantry.

Souper Bowl of Caring

Each year on Super Bowl Sunday, we join the national Souper Bowl of Caring movement to collect food and funds for those facing hunger.

Caring for Creation

Our Earth Care Pledge

Caring for our neighbors also means caring for the place we all share. Our Session has adopted the PC(USA) Earth Care Pledge — in practice, that means recycling (including electronics), tending a butterfly garden on our grounds, and working to limit paper and Styrofoam use around the church.
