First Presbyterian Calendar for October


FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

301 Pekin St., Lincoln.

Blessing of the Animals Worship Service

 Sunday, October 1, 2017  -  5 p.m.

 

At 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 1, 2017, pets and their owners are invited to attend a special
‘Blessing of the Animals’ worship service in the parking lot of First Presbyterian Church.


“All are welcome: cats and dogs, birds and sheep, amphibians and even the church mouse!” said Reverend Adam Quine. “Oh, humans too!”


Animals are an integral part of God’s creation. They inhabit the skies, the earth, and the sea. They share in the ways of human beings. They have a part in our lives. Through singing and praying, and of course, with a blessing, Rev. Quine will lead the gathering in expressing gratitude to God for the gifts of creation, especially our pets.


In the interest of safety, pets should be controlled on their leashes, harnesses, or in their carriers. If pets are unable to attend, their owners may bring photos or drawings of them (with their names) instead.


For more information, contact First Presbyterian Church, 301 Pekin St., Lincoln. Phone 732-6141 or email office@preslincoln.org.

KIDS WORSHIP

October 2017 Vertical Edge—

Working for God

A good work ethic! It’s something employers look for in a good employee. Certainly as adults we would want others to say we work hard. And conversely, we would not
want others to say that we sure don’t do much toward our job. The same is true of the job we take on as disciple makers when we become a Christian. We should want others to know that we take the command Jesus gave us to “go and make disciples” seriously enough to work diligently. I’m reminded of something I once read that said, “all God work is good work, but it is still work.” The series our kids will be in during our Kids Worship time in October will focus on working for God. Our key verse is Colossians 3:23; “Work willingly at whatever you do.” Through this series our goal is to help kids learn the privilege and joy of serving our Lord well. Parents, if you would like to review what we study with your kids, the titles and texts are below, and the main point is listed in italics.


•Nehemiah Rebuilds the Wall. Nehemiah 2:11–20.
We honor God with our work.
•Joseph Becomes a Ruler of Egypt. Genesis 41; 37-57; 45:3–8.
We work where God puts us.
•The Parable of the Three Servants. Matthew 25:14–20.
We use our talents for God.
•Paul Presses On to the Goal. Acts 16:16–34; Philippians 3:12–21.
Our goal is to be like Jesus.
