Hi First Presbyterian Church,

It’s time for our Mid-Week Meet-Up! I’m happy to be back from a long and intense experience at the PC(USA)’s General Assembly in Salt Lake City! This Sunday begins our summer sermon series called, “I’m Wondering…” In this series, we’ll be seeking to answer the questions you have about Christian beliefs or practices. As we did last year, there will also be a 30-minute Q&A after worship for us to discuss any follow-up questions or thoughts you might have from the sermon. The Q&A will start approximately 15 minutes after worship ends. Here are the list of topics for the sermon series:

July 14 - The Nature and Practice of Forgiveness (Pastor Aaron)
July 21 - Differences between Catholics and Presbyterians (Pastor Aaron)
July 28 - Original Sin (Pastor Aaron)
August 4 - Predestination (Pastor Aaron)
August 11 - God’s Final Judgment (Pastor Aaron)
August 18 - Death and the Afterlife (Pastor Aaron)
August 25 - Why Bad Things Happen to Innocent People (Pastor Erin)

I really enjoy facing the tough task of answering your sincere theological questions. However, I think my favorite part of this sermon series is the Q&A after worship, since it allows for an opportunity for a dialogue, instead of just a sermon. Based on your feedback from last year, I think the Q&A was your favorite part, too.

I can’t wait to worship with you this Sunday as we think about the nature and practice of forgiveness. See you then!

Peace to you,
Pastor Aaron
