First Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. Cookeville, TN

The church had Vacation Bible School Sunday, June 1^st through Wednesday, June 4^th. We began each night with a light meal at 5:30 p.m. and continued with classes and activities until 8:00 p.m. All ages, from nursery to adult, were included. The theme was “Clean Water for All God’s Children” centered on the mission project of the Synod of Living Waters called, “Living Waters for the World.” Thanks to all who participated in this wonderful, intergenerational event.

A Fellowship Dinner is offered every Wednesday night at 5:45 p.m. from August to late in May. The dinner is followed by a program or worship at 6:30, which is varied and designed to appeal to many interests.

Holy Week Information, March 17-21

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.
