Middleport First Presbyterian Church Located in quaint Middleport, Ohio, our church is community minded. Worshiping in this environment, everyone can almost sense the hand of God during services.

We believe that history comes alive as visitors enter the beautiful sanctuary, which was built during the 1800’s. Of special notice are the multiple-colored stained glass windows and the antique pipe organ that was delivered by riverboat down the Ohio River. As a church, we desire to serve the multiple needs of our community, and we welcome visitors to worship with us. The visitors who attend will feel as though they have been accepted into a family of those who regularly attend the services. Our congregation believes that all people are children of God; therefore, everyone is welcome to participate in the rites of Holy Communion, which is celebrated on the first Sunday of every month and on special Sundays throughout the year. Because we realize that today’s families face many new and complex problems both within the family and in the world, our church offers fresh Bible-based preaching in today’s language relating to these issues and concerns. As a church, we try to reach out to those in need and offer more than mere words. We attempt to find solutions to allow people to once again be independent and become the best they can be. Our church facilities offer many possibilities for community functions, and we strive to host at least one event each quarter for the good of the community. These events give us an opportunity to reach out to embrace our neighbors. We also welcome any and all suggestions on how we can better serve the local community as part of our responsibility to God and to our neighbors. Realizing that many people are unable to regularly attend church services for a variety of reasons, our church is planning to develop online Bible studies and prayer groups. Our ministry is ongoing because people who have needs and concerns are constantly facing life’s challenges beyond services on Sunday mornings. If you have been searching for answers to some of life’s questions, you are welcome to visit our church anytime. We pray that you will find a church family ready to welcome you to God’s house.

Another 15 books are headed into the hands of children who may need them. ❤️

This morning, author Ann Moody delivered 15 copies of It’s Not Your Fault: A Child’s Story of Family Addiction to Meigs County Job & Family Services / Child Protective Services.

Ann was welcomed by Theresa Lavender, Melissa Johnson, and Vince Reiber, who will help make sure these books reach children and families in their care.

Every delivery reminds us why we started this program. A book can't fix everything a child may be facing—but sometimes the right story can give a child words for what they're feeling, and remind them of something they desperately need to know:

This is not your fault. You are loved. And you are not alone.

We are deeply grateful to Meigs County JFS/CPS for helping us put that message into children's hands.

15 more books. 15 more chances to reach a child. ❤️

Middleport and Pomeroy individuals or businesses “
As many of you know, I wrote a book “It’s Not Your Fault” especially for elementary age foster kids to know their situation is because of nothing that they did to cause it. It is for sale for retail $25 per book. But my goal is to get free copies through donations of $15 per book for all CPS workers and CASA workers in both Gallia and Meigs Counties. I have fulfilled that goal for Gallia County and all CASA workers. Now I need a total of 15 books for Meigs County CPS social workers. Would any of you be inclined to donate a book or books at $15 each? Even one donated book gets me closer to their request. You can make a huge difference for $15 in a foster kid’s life through them not blaming themselves and understanding the process they are in the midst of living. You may contact me through phone, email, or text if you would like to sponsor a book. Maybe share this with a friend or business as well. This money stays directly in your community and to the children in foster care in Meigs County. Thank you so much for your consideration!!!!
