ReOpen Task Force Update:
Due to the recent developments regarding the coronavirus and masking guidelines, we want to affirm that if you attend a service without a mask it is understood that you are fully vaccinated. If not, we ask that you please still wear one. This is for your safety as well as the safety of others. Many in our congregation who are vaccinated continue to wear a mask, which we welcome. In addition, for the next few weeks the 8:30 service will not have congregational singing, while the 11:00 service will. We want to encourage those who are concerned about the safety of singing in a group to attend the 8:30 service. We hope that as more persons get vaccinated in our community, we will see transmission reduced. If you have not yet been vaccinated or know people who have not been, please meet with your healthcare provider to explore your options. Vaccinations are how we will all move out of this pandemic. Thank you for your patience and faithfulness.

Inquirer Gathering: September 19
Do you want to learn more about First Presbyterian?
It is difficult to have all your questions answered from just attending our worship service. The Inquirer Gathering is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about our faith community and ask questions you have about our congregation or the Presbyterian Church in general. Whether you have been visiting for a week or over a year, you are invited to join us during Sunday School at 9:45 AM. After some fellowship, Pastor Chris Joiner and other members of the staff and congregation will share how God is at work through the mission and ministries of our faith community. We will conclude with a tour of the facility. We hope you will join us.
