God, our creator, deserves our thanks, our love, and our lives. In short, He deserves our worship. He has created us to be worshiping beings, and inevitably we seek something—anything—to admire, to praise, to stand for, and to give ourselves to. But our hearts find their true home only as God gives us a love for Himself and as we give ourselves to Him. This giving of ourselves touches every aspect of our lives, but finds special expression in times of public worship, when Christians gather to praise God, to remember our unity with each other, to receive God's message, and to commit ourselves to Him.

At First Presbyterian Church, we hold public worship every Sunday at 9:30 am. The readings, prayers, and songs each week are selected to reflect the day's sermon topic, enabling us to explore that topic in a number of ways. The atmosphere is formal yet warm, reminding us of both God's greatness and His love. Much of our worship is expressed through music which is traditional yet fervent, and we also explore popular and contemporary musical styles.

Watch the church bulletin or our calendar for specific event dates and times, and contact Pastor Dave Eikenberry for more detailed information.

A typical worship service at First Presbyterian church includes these elements:

• A musical prelude
• Welcome and announcements
• The call to worship (usually a brief statement from the Bible, encouraging us to worship God)
• A hymn (a song of praise to God, sung by all)
• A short prayer (read by all) acknowledging our guilt before God and asking for His forgiveness
• The offering (an opportunity to contribute money to the work of the church)
• A short statement (read by all) summarizing the beliefs that bind us together
• A reading from the Bible
• A prayer for our church and for those in need (lead by our pastor)
• The children's sermon (Our pastor invites the children to gather around him for a short lesson.)
• A hymn
• The sermon (Our pastor reads from the Bible and explains what he has read.)
• A final hymn
• The benediction (a brief assurance of God's goodness to His people, taken from the Bible)
• A musical postlude

Following the worship service, refreshments are served in our Fellowship Hall. Then, at 11:00, Sunday School classes are offered for children and adults.
