HANDBELL CONCERT CANCELLATION: Due to illness, we have canceled the 7:15 p.m. handbell concert on Christmas eve. The 8 p.m. Candlelight service will continue as planned.
Advent
at First Presbyterian Church
Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation (Luke 1:48b-50).
This year’s Advent sermon theme, From Generation to Generation…, invites us to look at the characters in our scriptures and wonder: What did each character pass on or contribute? What is our role now?
During Advent, worship and Formation activities centered on hospitality remind us of the interconnectedness of our lives, histories, and actions, and the necessity of opening our hearts and minds to one another. As we welcome Christ again this Advent, we listen for the task that belongs to our generation. What will we carry forth, and what should we leave behind?
