In July and August, Pastor Neal continues our annual summertime tradition of preaching through the Book of Psalms.  Join us Sunday mornings at 10am as we explore the most ancient worship book of the church.  You can watch the service live on our website, or click the green "FPC Worship Live" button below to be taken to our Facebook livestream.

Dear First Presbyterian Church,

We enjoyed Calvin's visit.*  Thank you for the fun!

  • Pic #3: Happy to be far from the Sahara with slick shades and a cool drink
Sincerely,

* "Wandering Calvin" the Camel, aka "Flat Calvin", hopes to travel throughout our community this summer, spread a little FPC cheer, and help us stay connected to one another.  If you would like to be added to Calvin's itinerary, please reply to this email and let us know.  Calvin likes to travel in 1st class accommodations (manilla envelope) via the U.S. Postal system)
In a continued effort to provide safe, meaningful worship experiences for our community, we are adding an early, outdoor contemplative service to our Sunday morning lineup, beginning August 9th.  We will also expand the late service to offer more flexible online options for those who prefer contemporary or traditional music. The new Sunday morning worship schedule will be as follows:
 
8:00 to 8:45am - Contemplative Worship (Outdoors)
featuring Celtic chant, silent meditation, scripture & sermon, and outdoor childcare

9:45 to 10:00am - Contemporary Worship (Online)
featuring prayer and modern worship songs led by our praise band

10:00 to 10:30am - Timeless Message (Online)
featuring children's message, scripture & sermon

10:30 to 10:45 - Traditional Worship (Online)
featuring classic hymns, liturgies, and El Paso's largest pipe organ
 
Our church-wide nominating committee is seeking your input:  If you know a church member you think would make a great addition to one of our church boards, please contact Helen Edwards (Elder), Rick Winton (Deacon),  Vicki Black Walker (Trustee), or Pastor Neal.  If you need contact info for any of the above, reply to this email or call the church office at 915-533-7551.

Elders are responsible for the overall vision of the church, as well as oversight for the ministries of evangelism and mission.  Deacons are responsible for oversight of worship, education, and member care.  Trustees are responsible for oversight of church finances, property, and administration.
Dr. Barrie Shepherd, pastor and author, writes in his book Aspects of Love: An Exploration of I Corinthians 13,  about Christian communication:  “The Messiah is one of you.”  What would happen, what could happen to the whole intricate web of our relationships if we recognized the presence of the Messiah within each one of us?  What could happen if the love that Christ embodied and lived out were to find its roots and its reality within our daily lives?  Might we then, at last, begin to speak with the tongues of mortals and of angels?" 

Prayer requests for June—continuing prayers.  Our pastor, staff and members stand ready to pray for your joys and concerns. If you would like pastoral prayer, please call the church office and leave a message. To be added to our member-led prayer chain, contact the church office at 915-533-7551.
