In the time since I was hired as Director of Christian Education, last year, much has changed at First Presbyterian Church. We have come out of the pandemic lockdown and are moving forward with God’s work and growing the church. Last year, we continued Sunday School and were able to restart Wednesday Night Live. We continued Second Sunday celebrations, including the LeFebvre Weiner Roast! Last year, we added Orpheum Throwback Thursday movies and this summer, Family Fun Days. We added a prayground to the sanctuary and we had a return to our own Vacation Bible School. Families have returned to worship, and the sound of children in our sanctuary is beautiful!

On September 10, we will kick off our Fall Schedule. We will welcome kids PreK-12th grade back to Sunday School. We will restart Wednesday Night Live on September 13 for PreK-5th grade students. And we are very excited to announce a relaunch of Youth Group for students in grades 6-12, starting on September 10. It’s exciting to see our program grow, including students from our congregation and from our area. All of this is possible only with the dedication and support of the Christian Education Committee - Laura Rees (chairperson), Sarah Rozny, Sharon Trotter-Martin, Joanne Stewart and Stephanie Woodard, and all of our wonderful volunteers!

It takes a village, and we have an amazing one!
