Hi First Presbyterian Church,
It’s time for our Mid-Week Meet-Up! It’s good to be back with you after spending some time away on vacation and study leave. Today is the last day of August. Tomorrow begins the month of September, and, before you know it, we’ll be in full swing with school schedules, work routines, sports events, and, of course, our church program year. As I mentioned in the Mid-Week Meet-Up last week, we are beginning our program year with a special three-week Homecoming worship series. We’ll kick-off the program year with our church picnic on September 11 after the 10:00am service, complete with food, fun, and fellowship! Worship on September 18 will include a blessing of the animals service during the 10:00am service, which will take place on the Church Street lawn. Bring a chair and bring your household animals to be prayed for and blessed during the service! The Homecoming series will end on September 25 with a hymn-sing during worship. Worship on that day will be filled with verses of your favorite hymns spread throughout the service.
In order to prepare for the hymn-sing on September 25, we need to know: What are your favorite hymns? To help you answer that question, we’ve prepared a simple questionnaire with just two questions: 1) Name your top favorite hymn. 2) What is it your top favorite hymn? By clicking the following link, you can let us know your favorite hymn and you’ll be helping us to put together the service for September 25. (By the way, if you’re wondering about the “Worship Survey” you received earlier this month, many of you completed it [thank you!], and we’re combing through all your submissions and determining how to meaningfully respond to your feedback.)
I am very excited about our Homecoming series, and I hope to see all of you in September!
Peace to you,
Pastor Aaron
