Jim Remer Moderator Bevan Lewis CLP Office Staff Secretary Clerk of Session Rita Donahue Statement of Purpose/Mission Statement/Greeting: Mission Yearbook - February 12, 2006 Maricopa Indian First Presbyterian Church One of several Native American churches on the Gila River Indian Community's far west side of the reservation is the Maricopa Indian First Presbyterian Church. Dr. Cook started this church 100 years ago. Most members live close to the church and walk to its various activities while others. Worship is led every Sunday by a Commissioned Lay Pastor. 20 to 50 people attend worship and an average of 50 are involved in the Sunday School which includes all ages. An active choir sings at sister churches on occasion. There are six active session members. On Wednesday, a bible study & prayer service is conducted. Several members minister monthly at a care center for the elderly. Every year MIFPC enjoys fellowship with sister churches in a revival. Being partners with other Presbyterian Churches is a joy because we help each other while engaging in fellowship and worship. Our sanctuary is old and difficult to keep repaired. Our fellowship building, also hard to maintain, was an internment camp for Japanese-Americans during World War II. Pray for needs of our congregation as we continue our dedicated ministry.
