Advent

The holiday season brings a time of shared joy and celebration; it's a time when we celebrate traditions with loved ones. For those experiencing life's trials and losses, the holidays may also bring an unwelcome visitor - despair. There is hope. In spite of your loss - whether a loved one, a relationship, a job, or your health - there are ways to cope. Join us at the Help for the Holiday Blues Workshop and learn ways to bring joy back into these special times. 

Women, start off your holiday season with this year's delightful Christmas Celebration, "Coming Home To Christmas"! Enjoy brunch, entertainment, cordial conversation and this year's speaker, Abigail McConnell.

• The Christmas Celebration includes a plated meal, music, a skit, and a speaker.
• Nursery care is available for ages 0-6 years. 
• Scholarships are available.  Contact Suzanne Gradin for Details. 

 Join us at the rink for First Pres on Ice!

Join us for a special and fun worship service where kids are invited to participate in the telling of the Christmas story. We provide all the costumes as you walk in, and we will help your kids get into character as they prepare to join in the story of Jesus’ birth. There is no nursery, as all children are welcome in the Worship Center.

Celebrate the wonder of Christmas in our beautiful Sanctuary with classic services led by our Sanctuary Choir, full orchestra, and majestic pipe organ. Join us in singing beloved carols, hearing a hope-filled message of Everlasting Light for our ever-darkening world, and lighting candles together as we sing Silent Night. Come experience a timeless Christmas tradition at First Pres. Nursery is available for children ages 0-6.

Come to the Sanctuary for Christmas at the Table—a unique and immersive Christmas Eve experience. This beautifully crafted service blends modern worship instrumentation with orchestra for inspiring, spirit-filled worship. We’ll receive Communion, sing beloved carols, hear a hope-filled message of Everlasting Light, and close with candlelight and Silent Night. Step out afterward into the charm of downtown at night—full of beauty, nostalgia, and the joy of Christmas. No nursery is provided; however, families are encouraged to sit together.
