Communion this Sunday, January 3, 2021!

Each household is invited to assemble their own elements (bread and wine) before worship begins. The celebrant will direct you as to when to eat the bread and drink the cup.

We will also celebrate communion. Each household is invited to assemble your own elements (bread and wine) before worship begins. The celebrant will direct you as to when to eat the bread and drink the cup.

Observing National Children’s Sabbath

Observing National Children’s Sabbath

This Sunday, October 18, during our morning worship, we will join a multi-faith effort to celebrate National Children’s Sabbath, recognizing the gifts that children everywhere bring to our life together.

We currently have more than 100 infants, children, and youth on our rolls at First Presbyterian, which is both a great joy and an awesome responsibility.  During worship this Sunday, we will celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism, and dedicate new Bibles to our 3rd graders.  New members will also be welcomed.  Please join us for our online worship at 11:00 a.m.  Click here
