Presbyterian Calendar for July
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
301 Pekin Street, Lincoln
DRUMMING CIRCLE
The Center for Creativity & Community will be hosting
a drumming circle facilitated by Tiffany McBride on Sunday, July
28th, at 2–3:00 PM. It is free and open to the public. A drum circle
is a group of people gathered together to play percussion
instruments in an informal and collaborative setting. According to
McBride, the purpose is to build community, create harmony, and
celebrate life through rhythm and music. It is empowering, playful,
and relaxing. People of all ages are invited to come and share their
rhythmical spirit. No musical experience is necessary. Participants
are encouraged to bring a drum or percussion instrument if
available. And if not, a simple pan, bucket, or even two sticks make
good rhythm instruments. People are also welcome to just come and
listen.
McBride has been singing and beating since she was a toddler and is
well versed in vocals, ukulele, drums and percussion. She is a group
facilitator of drumming circles and expressive arts, and is a
clinical psychologist with a private practice in Bloomington, IL.
The Center, sponsored by First Presbyterian Church of Lincoln, is
located at 301 Pekin Street. It opened this year with a free summer
youth program for 6th to 8th graders. Its purpose is to provide a
place for youth to be themselves, explore their creativity, and
strengthen their connection within and with others. The program is
Tuesdays thru Thursdays, 12:30-5:00 PM, until August 1st. Youth are
welcome to join at any time. For inquiries please email fpcyouth@preslincoln.org
or call (217)732-6141.

WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE?:
AN ECUMENICAL CONVERSATION
What happens
when a Roman Catholic Priest, an Episcopalian priest, a United
Church of Christ pastor, and a Presbyterian pastor get together? We
aren't sure either, but we're going to find out, and you're invited,
too!
As a way to
get to know better our neighbors, the clergy of the First
Presbyterian Church (USA), the Holy Family Catholic Church, the St.
John United Church of Christ, and the Trinity Episcopal Church
invite you to attend a four-part conversation in community. The
title of this series will be: "What Makes Us Who We Are?"
While it is
easy to recognize all the ways we are different, these conversations
aim to help us discover all the ways we are already similar and
share common interests and characteristics. This will be a time of
learning and laughter, and each discussion will conclude with light
refreshments - a feature sure to be the first thing that binds us in
common.
The dates
for these lively (and informative) conversations will be:
WEDNESDAY, JULY 10TH
Trinity Episcopal Church
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14TH
Holy Family Catholic Church
Each
conversation begins at 7:00 pm and is free to everyone.

GOOD NEWS
50th YEAR REUNION & CONCERT
MAY 23-24, 2020!
Calling all GOOD NEWS alumni and sponsors! We are so
excited to announce the 50th year of GOOD NEWS will be celebrated
with a reunion and concert, May 23–24, 2020! We will rehearse on
Saturday and Sunday afternoon, with the big reunion concert at 6:00
p.m. on Sunday, May 24 (Memorial Day weekend) at Lincoln Christian
University. Mark your calendar now! We will bring
back as many of the former GOOD NEWS directors as possible. The
Reunion Choir will sing a favorite song from each decade as well as
hear from the current Good News and T.R.A.S.H. This will be a blast!
Please plan to join us!
GOOD NEWS PUBLISHING COMPANY began in 1971. Created from the Youth
Choir of Lincoln Christian Church, Keith Davenport added the
dimension of touring with the “Good News” of Jesus. There have been
close to 1,000 students who have been in GOOD NEWS over the last 50
years, (we are still counting!) with hundreds of dedicated sponsors
who have traveled with our students.
GOOD NEWS has shared the Good News of Jesus Christ in concerts in 43
states and Canada. On our 2019 tour next week we add #41 (Utah), #42
(Montana) and #43 (North Dakota).
GOOD NEWS alumni and sponsors (and parents!), we have created
several ways for you to stay in contact to receive all of the
information about the Reunion Concert.
To update your contact information, register for the Reunion
Concert, send e-invites to fellow GOOD NEWSers, share photos (we
need your photos, especially the formal group shots), videos, and
stories, and once you have registered to sing in the Reunion
Concert, receive a link to download the concert music, go to:
www.lincolnchristianchurch.org/GN50 , Check social media (Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter) with #GoodNews50, email us at GN50@lincolnchristianchurch.org.
Join us in May 2020 to celebrate the legacy and continued ministry
of GOOD NEWS! We can’t wait to see all of you gathered together to
once again proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in song!
