The title of Pastor Lee’s sermon for the week of September 2, 2012 is “Word Power” based on scriptures from Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-9 and James 1:17-27. The hymns for Sunday are “The God of Abraham Praise”, “Dear Lord and Father of Mankind” (V 1, 4-5), and “How Firm a Foundation.” .

With the start of school, we are collecting plastic bags for the Backpack Program. If you would like to volunteer to fill the bags, they meet at Fort Wyman School at 4:00 PM every Wednesday. It only takes about half an hour to fill the bags for the Backpack Program.
Our new year of Sunday School will begin Sunday, September 9th at 11:00! We offer Children’s Class for ages 3-9, a traditional class with plenty of arts & crafts and story time. For ages 10-15, we will have a special confirmation class. Students will learn about the Presbyterian Church and our beliefs. At the end of the course, there will be an opportunity for children to join the church. We also offer a Parenting Class, perfect for parents of children in the Sunday School program but is open to any interested folks (non-parents welcome!). We will discuss the book Real World Parents: Christian Parenting for Families Living in the Real World. Another adult class will be The Life and Writing of C.S. Lewis, exploring the writings of this Christian author (did you know he wrote more than the Chronicles of Narnia?). The class will be a combination of listening to an audio series and discussion.
National Back To Church Sunday is on September 16 this year. We will be celebrating it with a special service and fellowship hour. Meanwhile, reach out and invite someone to come to church on September 16! Invitation cards are available, if you want to use them, on the table outside the office and on the foyer desk.
Worship begins at 9:45 am, followed by education and fellowship. Our church provides a Nursery during worship service. First Presbyterian Church is located at 919 E. Tenth Street in Rolla. Our website is www.rollapresby.org.
