Our next Taizé Prayer Service will be held on Friday, December 11, 2009, at 7:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary here at First Presbyterian Church.  These are normally held on the second Friday of each month. 

As shown in our church's Vision Statement, we are called to be the body of Christ striving to celebrate God’s grace and love, to be transformed by Christ’s love, and to extend the love of the Holy Spirit to all.

Our worship schedule includes a variety of worship styles.  Following our Mission Vision Study it became very apparent that we have a congregation that is united in their Christian faith but diverse in their preference for expressing that faith.  

The Heritage Service
For those who treasure an experience rich in heritage and heartfelt contemplation. Liturgy steeped in tradition, and selections from the hymnal with lush organ and piano accompaniment, highlight this 45-minute service. A classic approach to worship. Sundays in the Chapel at 7:30 a.m. from September through May.

The Tapestry Service
A fluid fabric of worship woven from the unique strands of memorable hymns and liturgy, and the new classics in Christian music. Westminster Choir and a meld of ensembles and instrumentation thread their way through the loom of the Presbyterian Order of Worship. Tradition with a twist. Sundays in the Sanctuary at 8:40 and 11:00 a.m.

The Celebration Service
A joyous outpouring of Christian faith through modern themes. Art, drama, music, prayer, praise: a cornucopia of ways to contemplate, convey, and celebrate our beliefs.  Normally in the Sanctuary the second Sunday of each month at 11:00 a.m.  This service is in lieu of the 11:00 Tapestry Service that week.
