FPC Worship Live

Last Sunday's worship service and Pastor Neal's sermon on the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard is available to watch by clicking on the image above. You can also find recent sermons and worship videos on our church YouTube Channel as well as our Facebook page.

Please enjoy this rendition of the beloved hymn "Be Thou My Vision" sung by our very own FPC musicians, Abby Locke and Maddy Spataro. Musical arrangement and video editing were done by Pastor Neal. Photography of Irish landscapes and cathedrals by Kelly Lacy.

On Thursday, October 15th, First Presbyterian Church will participate in the international "Wave of Light" event with an evening worship service and candle lighting at our outdoor prayer labyrinth. The service will be an opportunity to remember children lost during pregnancy, infancy, and childhood or adulthood. Participants are invited to bring a small picture or memento to deposit in a memory box that will be interred beneath the labyrinth. The service will begin at 6:30pm, and at 7pm we will join in with others around the world in lighting candles of remembrance. Please feel free to invite anyone you think may benefit from this event.

Join us this week in celebrating the following people and their birthdays: Alissa Foulks (9/17), Hannah Dixon, Nahui Escajeda (9/18), Jeffrey Cullers (9/19), Timothy Bowers, Jason Lenig (9/20), Lewis Galloway, Greg Gates (9/22), Karmann Escandon, Rick Winton (9/23) .
