Christian Life Committee

Christian Life is responsible for a critical need at First Presbyterian Church: creating a web to hold together our congregation where we can experience and express God’s love. They provide opportunities for the members, friends, and families of the church to get to know each other so that they may better become one family of God. It plans social and recreational, and education events for the entire church as well as activities for groups of people with similar interests. Typical Fellowship events include the Church picnic, Bible Study, monthly events, pot-lucks, holiday events, etc.

This committee meets on the second Monday of each month. Opportunities to serve in this area are as follows:

Sunday Morning Coffee Host

This is a wonderful way to welcome friends and neighbors to our family of faith. The coffee host provides light refreshments, water or juice and prepares the coffee for our fellowship time following Sunday worship.

Lunch Bunch

Every Sunday after coffee time, everyone is invited to head out to lunch. We rotate through many of the restaurants around town, and enjoy continuing our fellowship time together!

Woman's Association

Women of all ages are invited to meet together monthly for fellowship, a meal, Bible Study, prayer and mission.

Men's Breakfast

Men of all ages share breakfast together once a month at the church.

Set up/Clean up of Fellowship Events

There are monthly fellowship events at the church that include potluck or pizza dinners and annual events like the Halloween party, Palm Sunday brunch, Men’s Harvest Dinner and Hanging of the Greens. These events need set up, decorating, setting and taking down tables, washing dishes and other clean up.

Funeral Dinners

Organized by the Women’s Association, a dinner is supplied for the family and friends following a funeral. The congregation participates by cooking the dinner, preparing the church, and clean up.

Visiting Homebound

As our congregation continues to age there are many who are no longer able to be physically present with us in worship. We continue to value all their prayer and support of our congregation and like to keep them connected to our church family. Visits, phone calls and cards are needed.

Vacation Bible School

In conjunction with the United Methodist Church, we sponsor a four day Vacation Bible School for elementary youth during the summer. We are in need of people to help organize, plan, lead, and prepare snacks.

Wedding Coordinators

Two volunteers to attend wedding rehearsals and ceremonies that take place at the church. Responsible for locking and unlocking the church, moving worship items (pulpit, communion table, font), turning sound system on/off, coordinate use of rooms, set up extra chairs, turning lights on/ off and assisting pastor and family with other various tasks.
