For the first time, First Presbyterian Church Macon is hosting, Easter on the Lawn. This service will meet outside in front of the sanctuary on Easter morning at 10 AM. (one service only) Easter on the Lawn Worship Service was created as a safe alternative for anyone who is hesitant to worship indoors. We also love downtown Macon and want to offer an Easter service accessible to our downtown neighbors and anyone who would like to attend.
Mulberry St. will be closed off by the city for our service. Bring your own chair and spread out on the church lawn, the sidewalks, the street, or in Lamar Park (the shaded median area of Mulberry).
- Arrive at 9:30 for muffins, coffee, and fellowship.
- Children stop by the FPC kids table for a special Easter activity bag.
- Bring flowers from home to decorate Easter cross
- Service begins at 10 AM.
- Bring your own chair; be mindful of social distancing.
- Parking is available in our First Street parking lot and in the corner parking lot next to the Grand Opera House. (Corner of First Street and Mulberry).
- A nursery is available by registration only. Please email Lori Gillis at lgillis@fpcmacon.org.
