3rd Sunday after Pentecost-
Graduation Sunday
Welcome!
This Sunday all generations worship together and share communion as we celebrate our 2016 graduates. Our high school and college graduates will be helping to lead us in worship and we will have some special guests in the choir.
We will also send our graduates off with our prayers as they begin their next adventure.
I hope you’ll join us this Sunday at 10am for meaningful worship and community. If you cannot join us in person you can always be with us through Internet Streaming.
Peace,
Reverend Matt Gough
Mark your Calendars as a Ugandan Children’s Choir is coming to First Presbyterian and giving a concert Sunday, July 17, at 6pm. We are still looking for hosts who can host 2-3 kids and 1 adult chaperone for 2 nights July 17-18. They will be with you evenings and mornings as they have daytime activities. We are also looking for any doctors/dentists who may be willing to provide care to the kids on the 18th or 19th. While the kids travel they try to address dental and medical needs before they return to Uganda.
