Advent Devotional

This booklet is dedicated to the memory of a dear friend and Elder of First Presbyterian, who first proposed the project of writing our own Advent Devotional Booklet several years ago. Unfortunately, this did not come to fruition, but good ideas never die – they just wait for the right time.

During the Pandemic, the Worship Committee decided it was the “right” time to bring together personal thoughts from our own church members

We will also have prayers of thankful remembrance for loved ones who passed away in the last year. Come and join us! And if you need to charge a cell phone, we have power!
