Here is a look at Sunday Mornings at First United Presbyterian Church. We begin and end the morning with a worship service. Communion is served at both services the first Sunday of the month and all are welcome to partake. Childcare is available Sunday mornings from 8:45am to 12:15pm for age 6 weeks through Pre-K. Children are always welcome in worship.
First Worship begins at 9am. It is a relaxed 50-minute service filled with modern music. If you are looking for a new worship experience, this service might be for you! The service is intentionally designed to offer something for all ages. It is for both young families and long-time church members. If you’ve attended Presbyterian worship services, you will find the order of worship is familiar but there are also some new elements.
