First Presbyterian Calendar for December


FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Christmas Cantata

Sunday, December 17th

10 a.m. worship service

 

The choir of First Presbyterian Church will present the cantata “God, With Us!” on Sunday, December 17th, at the 10 a.m. worship service. With the choir leading the service through music and scripture, listen to how God came to earth in the form of Jesus Christ to shed light in the darkness, bring hope to the hopeless, and instill peace with the restless. A small instrumental ensemble will join the choir as we celebrate the story of Jesus’ birth.


FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Longest Night/Blue Christmas Service

December 21               7 p.m.

 Union Chapel at First

Presbyterian Church

 

The Christmas season is often marked by expressions of joy, excitement, and happiness. It’s a time for family to gather and for churches to worship pointing to the hope that is found in the coming of the Christ child. However, this time of joy and expectation can often overshadow the pain and hurt many experience during this season, when the world's merriment puts their grief and sorrow in stark relief.
Traditionally centered on the Winter Solstice [the longest night of the year] our service will be held on Thursday, December 21, at 7 p.m. in Union Chapel at First Presbyterian Church. This service will provide time and space, through song and readings from Scripture, for God’s people to reflect on the pain this time of the year can invoke, while also remembering that God is there, and that light will soon return.


LINCOLN CHRISTIAN CHURCH

204 N. McLean Street

Wednesday Bible Study at
Join Dr. Bob Monts for a six-week study, starting January 10 entitled: “Turn Your Hearts Toward Home”,

a study of 1 Peter.


“The letter came just when it was needed most. The situation was undeniably bleak. They paid their taxes, served in the military, and they did all they could to be good citizens. They ate the same food, kept up with the current styles, and acted—for the most part—just like any other upstanding person in their community. Yet, they were misunderstood and mistreated, some even to the point of death. As a group they were singled out by the highest governmental authority as parasites upon the land. Many were tortured and killed while others lost all of their possessions and became displaced wanderers. Indeed, such a letter could not have come at a better time.”
These folks, having been dispersed throughout the Roman Empire, were in dire need of encouragement. They need a “letter from home.” 1 Peter was just that-a letter that offered hope to a beleaguered and hurting people. This study will examine what we can learn, living in the 21st century, from those living in the 1st century. The study will urge you to keep your eye on our true home and not our temporary home. It will focus on how to live as one who doesn't fit here, but there.
