Update on Realm
Please reach out to beth@hickoryfpc.org with any questions as we transition to our new database. Everything will continue to work better as more people sign up. To sign up, you need an invitation or you can sign up with your email at onrealm.org if you have previously signed up with Realm or ACS. Until we are all active, we recommend using onrealm.org on your device rather than the app. We plan to offer in-person help on the system at the church in the coming months.

Summer Giving
As folks travel for the summer, it’s not unusual to see a dip in giving. But the church’s doors remain open, and our ministries continue, and we continue to help people in need throughout our community. We hope you will remember FPC over the dog days of summer! As always, thank you for your ongoing and generous support.
