|  Jesus said, "The day will come when you will worship in spirit and in truth. For such the Father seeks to worship him. God is Spirit and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." John 4:23-24.
Our Worship Committee is responsible for everything that goes on in worship: the music, the greeters and ushers, preparing the elements for communion and baptisms, preparing bulletins, presenting dramas, banners, and offering  wedding and memorial services. They work closely with the Pastor, Choir Director and Wedding Coordinator. Together we see that our worship services and weddings run smoothly, shut-ins are visited, the sanctuary is decorated, visitors are greeted and the children have worship activities that are appropriate to their age level.
We offer two distinct opportunities for worship at First Presbyterian. In January we began a 9:30 a.m. Contemporary Service with music led  by our Praise Band. On September 13 this service moved to 9:00 a.m. At 11 a..m service we offer have a traditional service with formal liturgy and our music is led by our choir. At both services we hold to an order of service, and are guided through that service by a bulletin that features responsive readings, and prayers of adoration, confession, thanksgiving, petition and intercession. Participants are invited to fill out a joys and concerns which is given to the pastor during the service so he can incorporate the requests into his pastoral prayer following the sermon. Through his presentation of the Word through his sermons, our pastor works diligently to present timeless gospel in a timely manner. He also has a special message for the children after which the children are invited to sit with their family and friends. We provide an activity bag for young children and parents of preschool children can take their children to the nursery if they so choose. | |
