Thank you to new member Billye Constance for pulling together our Youth Choir this year. What a wonderful performance today! What a blessing they are to all of us!
Everyone who braved the cold rainy weather was treated to a marvelous service this morning. We lit the 4th Advent Candle, the candle of Love.
We caroled through the neighborhood to the delight of several families and neighbors last night. We sing along with the handbells that make it easy for all skill levels to participate in this fun holiday tradition. It's a treat for all involved to be surprised with carolers! If you took or picture please post it on our Facebook page!
Merry Christmas to our neighbors and to everyone from First Presbyterian!
As the fourth Sunday of Advent approaches we continue to contemplate the coming of Christ this season. We invite you to come caroling in the neighborhood tomorrow night as we share Christ's LOVE for us with each other as we walk though the neighborhood with handbells, bringing JOY to those who are surprised by a knock on their door following by ringing and enthusiastic singing. (Meet at that S. Prieur St.
Beautiful Service yesterday! Thank you to all who made it special- readers, musicians, the children, the candle lighters, the congregants, friends and families.
We give heartfelt thanks to the worship committee and the setup crew who came in on Saturday to make sure everything went smoothly.
We love our First Presbyterian family and are having a wonderful Advent!
Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee. AMEN.
