Christmas Program!

Ready or not, here it comes! Friends, it is almost that time of year again! It is hard to imagine because the weather has been so nice in the last few days, but Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner. And so it is the time we begin to work on the Christmas progam. This year's program is called the "Bethlehem Inn." This is not just a program for the kids but for everyone. We do have several adults who have parts in it. This year we will present the program on December 18th at 10:30am (during worship). We hope you will all come and enjoy this wonderful day with us!

Summer Sunday School

This summer, the First Presbyterian Church will be offering Sunday school for all ages. The adults are invited to participate in Pastor Elissa's study using the book, "Facing Your Giants" by Max Lucado. The cost of this study is $10 for the purchase of the book.
Our music director, John Draws, will be offering children's Sunday school as well. It will be a different style with games, music, and Bible lessons.

Sunday School starts at 9am! We hope you will join us!

New Bible Study

This summer there will be an adult Bible/book study during regular Sunday School time. I will be leading the study and I am wondering what you would like to study. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please let me know.

Thanks,
Pastor Elissa

Made to Crave - Lenten Study

"Made to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire With God, Not Food" by Lysa TurKeurst
The First Presbyterian Church will be hosting a book study for anyone in the community who is interesting in learning more about how to fulfill their lives with God rather than things that only last for a short amount of time, like food, alcohol, or relationships. This will be a seven week study and it will be held on Sunday evenings from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the First Presbyterian Church. The first meeting will be February 27th. The cost will be $10 for the workbook. If you are interested, please let Pastor Elissa know so that workbooks can be purchased. Or for more information please contact Pastor Elissa at elissamjay@gmail.com or 309-371-2511. This will be an amazing study that will guide you in ways to learn to rely on God to fulfill our hearts.
