MISSIONAL LIVING
With each liturgical season, we journey together through prompted prayers, spiritual practices, and acts of care for the people around us. Epiphany is focused on our neighbor — pray for their flourishing, practice memorizing Psalm 136:23-26, and invite your neighbors to church. Send a video of you and your crew memorizing the weekly verse for a spotlight on First Pres’ social media. We can’t wait to see you join in the journey!
Sunday, 02.06, will be epic at First Pres! For the first time since 2019, our Baptismal Vow Renewal ceremony is back in both services! If you’ve never been baptized, consider this next step in your faith walk. We’ll also welcome new Covenant Partners to our Church Family. At 10:15 in Lee Fellowship Hall, we’ll enjoy our first-ever Generational Bruncheon, hosted by Young at Heart, served by Student Ministry, and catered by The Coop — just for you! No RSVP necessary. Join the celebration!
At the intersection of art and faith, our first-ever cohort of Arts Fellows are creating and growing in a community of believers seeking to reflect God’s glory through their work. We’re excited for you to see more from them in 2022! Get to know our talented creatives and their passions:

We’ll celebrate Baptism Renewal and Covenant Partners during both services, and host a Church Family Bruncheon at 10:15 in Fellowship Hall. No need to RSVP. Join us! Then we’ll explore “who’s shaping you?” as we consider the example of Demas, a fellow worker with the Apostle Paul, who was slowly pulled away by his love of the world.
