The Christian Education Committee encourages members and friends of First Presbyterian to participate in a special Lenten study.  This year we will use the book "Naked Spirituality" by Brian McLaren.  Books are available at the church as well as information about small groups.

McLaren views the spiritual life in four "seasons": simplicity, complexity, perplexity, and harmony.  He suggests that there are three attitudes or practices in each season that are rooted in a single word, thus the subtitle, "A Life with God in 12 Simple Words."  You can watch McLaren describe what he is up to in this book by clicking on this YouTube video.

Our prayer is that this book,your discussion group and the Pastor's blog will be a blessing to you!

The Worship Committee has announced the schedule for Holy Week.  You are invited to join with us as we commemorate the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus.

First Presbyterian Church is pleased to announce the introduction of an electronic option for making regular offerings. Contributions can now be debited automatically from your checking or savings account.  Visitors will be able to use their credit cards (we discourage the credit card option for our members)

To get started, send an email to our Office and Finance Manager Carol Houston indicating your desire to participate in online giving.  After she confirms, you can return here and click on the GIVE ONLINE button and follow the directions. The process is very user friendly.  To create your account, you will be asked for your bank information.
