With official, continued approval from the City of El Paso, we ARE PROCEEDING with our "Enchanted Forest" tomorrow, Saturday October 31st from 2pm-6pm in the parking lot of First Presbyterian Church.  We are mindful of the critical health situation in our city, and we are thankful for the opportunity to do our part by providing a safe, responsibly organized, and city-approved alternative to neighborhood "trick or treating."  

Families are invited to come in costume and walk (or drive!) through our forest of decorated car "tree trunks," one family at a time.  At the end of the forest, a package of individually-wrapped candy will be distributed to each child.  Protective face-masks will be required.  There will also be a few zero-contact games as part of the event.  For safety, the number of people allowed in the parking lot at any given time will be strictly limited.
This Sunday (All Saints Sunday) during both of our morning worship services, we will remember and honor the members of First Presbyterian Church we have loved and lost during the past year.
Just a reminder that this Sunday we will be observing the sacrament of Holy Communion.  For those joining us in person, we will distribute individually wrapped communion packages with grape juice and communion wafer.  If you are joining us for worship online, we invite you to use whatever bread and wine or grape juice you have available in your home. Please prepare your hearts and minds over the next few days as we approach this sacred Sunday observance. 
Beginning November 8th, Pastor Neal will preach a sermon series about camels in the Bible (which were a valued resource in the ancient world) and how we can manage our own resources for the benefit of our communities and those we love.  Join us on Sundays at 9am (outdoors) and 11am (sanctuary & online).  
Last Sunday's "Reformation Sunday" worship service and Pastor Neal's sermon are 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
Gratitude is expressed for the life of Dr. Donald MacPhail (10/21/20) and sympathy to his wife, Patricia MacPhail and family. Information on a memorial service TBA.
