FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

 

Dec. 21 - Each Saturday night during the season of Advent you are invited to participate in the communal practice of contemplative waiting. Centered on silence, with readings from church ancestors, we will gather around an Advent wreath to prayerfully and contemplatively ponder that for which we are waiting: the arrival of Emmanuel, God with us. The service begins at 5 p.m. and will last 45 minutes. Each service will be in Union Chapel inside First Presbyterian Church.

Sunday, Dec. 22 - “Blue Christmas” service at 5 p.m. in the chapel at First Presbyterian Church, you are invited to join us for a unique worship opportunity. We will reflect on how “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” can be painful for many who have lost loved ones or are away from home. Following the longest night of the year, this service will provide time and space, through readings from Scripture and song, 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.
 

Christmas Eve - candlelight service
The Advent season culminates on this night. Join us at 7 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church as we celebrate the Nativity of the Christ Child. We welcome you to our Christmas Eve service, as our hopefully waiting becomes a fulfilled promise that God was, is and always will be among us.
