Palm Sunday

On Palm Sunday children participated in worship by processing with palms and going up front for a children’s sermon time. Also the Junior Choir sang. During the Sunday school hour there was a retelling of the Bible story followed by donkey rides in the church parking lot. Thank you to Malcolm Williams for providing a donkey for the children as they reenacted Sunday’s Bible story. By clicking on the photo to the right you can view a photo slide.

Vacation Bible School, 2009

Vacation Bible School was held from June 1-3 from 5:30 -8:00 pm. Each night began with a light meal. There were classes for Pre-Kindergarten through sixth grade and adults. The theme was "On the Move: God's Grace from Place to Place," which focused on how God's Spirit gave momentum to the Civil Rights Movement drawing the people of God towards greatness in soul through blessing, justice, truth and reconciliation.

Holy Week

For nearly a half century, we have spearheaded a series of worship services during Holy Week with ministers and lay members of various local churches participating. This is in conjunction with a luncheon, prepared cooperatively, with proceeds dedicated to Meals on Wheels.
 
Special Events


We traditionally serve regular Communion on the first Sunday of each month. Throughout the year we observe special occasions, including Christmas Eve and Maundy Thursday services with Communion. We also participate in the annual Souper Bowl, Joy Offering, and One Great Hour of Sharing. Our Second Sunday Dinner is a cooperative meal after worship on the second Sunday of each month throughout the year. Students and visitors are warmly invited to participate in this celebration of food and fellowship.

The congregation meets at Cane Creek for picnics, organized by the Christian Education Committee.

Presbyterian Women

The Presbyterian Women's group meets once a month for Bible study and fellowship. They fund a scholarship for a deserving student each year.
