FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
WAYS TO SERVE

The pastor and session encourage a sense of empowerment to serve Christ without the necessity of 'being called upon' to share one's time, talent, and treasure.  We want to live missionally as disciple-followers of Christ; to even dare to live as apostles for Christ.

Certainly serving can come by means of taking on roles as elder(an ordered ministry), usher, Communion preparer, teacher, handy-person, etc.

Also, there are opportunities to love each other in deeds of care and kindness at times of joy or sadness----births, deaths, baptisms, illnesses, etc.

Another hands-on chance to serve is in the Sack-lunch Outreach Program held over the Summer months.  The volunteer-servants prepare and serve sack-lunches for those who come needing them. This most recently ran for 8-weeks, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, to address nutritional needs of at-risk children/youth(and adults) during the none-school weeks of the Summer.

Some of our membership are involved in ecumenical-community opportunities to serve, such as the River Valley Christian Clinic that is open to the public two nights a month.

Other members participate in civic or service organizations which are helping avenues, such as Hospice, Rotary or Lions Clubs etc.

But foremost we believe that discipleship occurs in the normalcy of our daily lives--by exemplifying the spirit of Christ in all we say and do or do not say and do not do.
