The First Press is a monthly newsletter published both in print and digitally at First Presbyterian Church of Gastonia (FPC). The creation and publication of The First Press was one of my major responsibilities as the Director of Communications at FPC. Although I was not tasked with writing all of the copy, I was responsible for the curation of all content to be included with each issue. Below is my favorite issue, Volume 28, Issue 11, published in November 2023.
