	Inspiring Worship At First Presbyterian Church, we offer two distinct Sunday morning services. Both services center around God's Word in Scripture as it is read and preached, and both services seek to give glory to God, but each service is unique in its approach. • Service of Morning Prayer At 9:00 on Sunday mornings, we gather for worship in the Fellowship Hall. This simple service celebrates the community we share with God and with God's family as we sing simple meditative choruses, offer joys and concerns in prayer, and share fellowship around the table. Childcare is available for young children. • Service for the Lord's Day At 11:00 on Sunday mornings, we gather for worship in the Sanctuary. In this service, we experience awe and reverence for God through a more formal Presbyterian liturgy, time-honored hymns, and inspiring choir anthems. Childcare is available for young children. Children's Church is available following the children's sermon for children in K-4 and K-5. http://www.pcusa.org/theologyandworship/worship/lordsday.pdf • Children’s Church During the 11:00 Service for the Lord's Day, immediately following the Children's Sermon, children in K-4 and K-5 are invited to Children's Church, a special time of prayer and learning designed to introduce young children to the practice of worship. • Choir The adult choir leads the congregation in song at the 11:00 Service for the Lord's Day, as well as offering choral responses and anthems. The choir rehearses at 6:15 on Wednesday evenings. • Fellowship Sunday On the first Sunday of each quarter (January, April, July, October), we join together for a combined worship service at 11:00 AM, followed by a congregational dinner in the Fellowship Hall. • Sweet Hour of Prayer On the first Wednesday of each month, the sanctuary is open from 11:30-12:30 for personal, silent prayer.
