Musical Presentation
The
1st Presbyterian Church Choir will lead the
10:00 a.m. worship service on Sunday, March 17th.
They will be presenting Lloyd Larson’s cantata, “The Shadow of
the Cross”, which focuses on the final hours of Jesus’ life and
crucifixion. The music, scripture readings, and the sacrament
of communion will be a powerful reminder of the magnitude of
God’s love; a love so great that it continues through all time
and eternity. The public is invited to join us in worship at
301 Pekin Street in Lincoln. Call 217-732-6141 for more
