Heifer International
First Church supports
Heifer International, a
charitable organization that works tirelessly to end
hunger around the world. Each Christmas, our members
and friends are given the opportunity to give
alternative gifts that bring health and hope to people
in need. By making donations of food producing
animals, participants in the Heifer project can begin
to change the life of an entire community. In many
countries where Heifer International works,
skyrocketing food prices have conspired to send many
families deeper into a spiral of poverty and hunger.
But the families that receive Heifer's support are
able to withstand these pressures because they are
self-sufficient. First Church is honored and
privileged to join in this unique ministry.

Habitat for Humanity
First Church actively supports
Habitat for Humanity in Lake and Sumter County.
We are part of the Apostle's Build, a
house-building project in Eustis for 2009 involving
12 different churches. Members and friends of First
Church will not only have a chance to support
Habitat financially, but also will have the
opportunity to work on the site. If you are

Duvall Home
The Duvall Presbyterian Church has been a
long-time mission partner with First Church. The
Duvall Home in Longwood, Florida is home for 140
developmentally disabled persons, who are given
the opportunity to live independent and fulfilling
lives. First Church is proud to sponsor this
wonderful ministry, which has been a part of our
presbytery for 60 years. Not only does First
Church provide financial support for the Duvall
Home, we have also sent our members to volunteer
at the Home throughout the years. For more
