			First 
			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!
