We are continuing to collect the Christmas Joy offering throughout Advent. This special offering of PC(USA) supports current and retired church workers and their families as well as students at Presbyterian related schools and colleges equipping communities of color.

Join us Christmas Eve at 6 pm for a candlelight service of lessons & carols. This is a wonderful time to bring your family and your friends to experience God’s love and celebrate love made flesh, born two millennia ago and also born anew in our hearts each year at Christmas, and every day.

Please join us for a special service this Sunday, December 15, 2024. The Chancel Choir will be presenting “God is Alive in Bethlehem” a cantata for the Advent season using music from the First Presbyterian choral library.  The featured selections have been compiled and arranged with additional readings to create our Advent cantata.

Mark your calendars for the Christmas Eve service at 6 pm. We are also collecting the Christmas Joy offering throughout Advent as well as Christmas Eve. When we give to the Christmas Joy Offering, we prepare the way for leaders of our church – past, present and future. 50% of our gifts smooth the path for current and retired church workers and their families in their time of need. The other 50% of our gifts prepare students to learn and grow in faith at Presbyterian related schools and colleges equipping communities of color. Through this offering we reflect God’s perfect gift to us. Envelopes are on the table as you enter the church.
