     We are all important in the life of the Church and we all have something to offer. There are numerous opportunities to meet and work together in Christian growth - committee gatherings, circle groups, Bible studies, youth groups, etc. Everyone is encouraged to participate in areas that match his/her needs, interests, and talents. The calendar link above shows activities and meetings during the month of . There is also a bi-weekly newsletter mailed to each home to keep everyone informed of the latest happenings and upcoming events.
     We join with others throughout our country and the world as we pray  for those who are in distress and for our leaders. Our Minister to Youth, Rev. Randy Weeks, wrote a hymn that was inspired by recent world events. The words of this hymn may found at the following link:  "O God, We Pray for All the World". Also, the Presbyterian Church USA has provided helpful information on the national web site:  www.pcusa.org.

"Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it."
I  Corinthians 12:27 

At First Presbyterian we are truly a church family.
Our congregation is large enough to be a vital part of our community
and small enough to enable everyone to feel comfortable and "at home".
There's a special place for everyone!
