Hi First Presbyterian Church,

It’s time for our Mid-Week Meet-Up! This Sunday is Presbyterian Women’s Sunday, the annual day of the year when our Presbyterian Women’s organization leads our worship services. This year, Rev. Dr. Betsey Crimmins will be preaching and will be assisted during worship by many other women from the church. You won't want to miss it!

On December 21, we introduced a video series featuring our church’s core values. As you know, our core values are connect, inspire, follow, unify, and love. While each of these core values may be easy to understand at face value, what do they look like for us at First Presbyterian? This video series is meant to display clear examples of how we are living out each of these values, to clarify what those values mean and to help us celebrate the values when we see them. David Irwin, one of our ruling elders on the Session, has done a great job of filming, directing, and editing these videos. The first of these videos showcases one of the ways that our core value of love is lived out at First Presbyterian. There were some technical difficulties at the 8:30 am service the Sunday we showed the videos, and those of you at that service were not able to see it. We were, however, able to play the video at the 10:00 am service, and it is archived in the livestream of that service on YouTube. In case you were at the 8:30 am service that day or otherwise missed the video, there’s a link below to click and watch it.

In this video, you will see some of the facilitators of our Faith and Grief workshops talking about how our Faith and Grief program demonstrates our core value of love.

I hope this video helps you to see what we mean when we talk about love at First Presbyterian Church. Expect to see similar videos highlighting our other core values in the coming weeks.

Peace,
Aaron
