Our denomination, the PCUSA, is theologically prog

Our denomination, the PCUSA, is theologically progressive on some of the more pressing social issues of our day, e.g. racial equality, inclusion of LGBTQ+ people, and care for God’s creation. Generally, our congregation could be more out front and forthcoming in embracing our denomination’s Jesus-focused, progressive theology. AWIF discussed a “FPC is the home of __________” campaign. For example, “FPC is the home of inclusion.”

The pandemic has been challenging. Emerging from

The pandemic has been challenging. Emerging from the pandemic will be challenging as well. A Session workgroup, A Way Forward Into the Future, met over the course of six months to pray and deliberate regarding First Presbyterian Church's emergence. The Session received the group's report and endorsed it. We are now sharing it with you [copies available online or on our website], developing initiatives to put wheels under these ideas, and gathering persons to provide the necessary leadership and energy to make these aspirations a reality.

Expect to hear more about the recommendations via our newsletter, social media platforms, and on Sunday mornings. Consider your role in contributing to the vitality of the ministry of our congregation.

High School Youth Event!- Will be Rescheduled!
Due to a low number of signups, as well as my recent understanding that there are many football games happening between the local high schools this Friday, the Ice Cream and Game night that was supposed to take place on Friday, August 26, will be rescheduled to a later date.

Sanctuary Details.

The church is much more than its walls, lighting, and decor… but isn’t it fun to take note of the little things we often miss on a Sunday morning?

Speaking of details, in case you missed it - Sunday School is back!
