Announcements

Welcome! We are glad you have come to visit us online!
Beginning on Sunday, October 4th, at 10 a.m., the faith family that is First Presbyterian Church, will have two additional ways to gather in Christ’s name!
In addition to a recorded service, available on Facebook and YouTube, we will have a live stream (also on Facebook) and in-person worship (with precautions) in the Sanctuary at 710 Kansas City Street.
We grateful to the Holy Spirit, who binds us together whoever and wherever we are!
For the in-person gathering, please be aware of the following:

All are welcome! At this time, we will not offer childcare; instead all of God’s children, young and old, will worship together! There are two rockers in the sanctuary should some of the youngest need soothing.
You will need to wear a mask. Children under two years old are exempt from mask wearing according to the CDC guidelines. We encourage you to bring your own, but we do have some disposable masks available.
An usher will admit two people at a time into the narthex (the entry way of the church) where you can sanitize your hands before picking up your communion supplies as well as a hearing device and a disposable mask if needed.
When you are ready, an usher will guide you to your seat from the side aisles. We know many people have a favorite seat in the sanctuary, but for now, the ushers will seat us. In the pew you will find, hand sanitizer and tissues and a wooden dowel that will help you with distancing.
There will be unison speaking at times during worship, but there will be no congregational singing. Instead, the words of the hymns that will be printed in the bulletin and we invite you to meditate on them as we listen to the music.
At the conclusion of our service, the ushers will dismiss us row by row, from the back. If you used a hearing device, please leave it in the pew. We will clean it before it is used again.
We will not be passing an offering plate during the service. Instead, we invite you to place your offering in the offering plate that you will find in the narthex on your way out.

Once outside, you are welcome to stay and talk with friends. Also, Melissa Bumbach, our music director, will be leading congregational singing (while maintaining social distance) in the courtyard!
Whether in person or at home, we hold you in our hearts, and offer praise to God who has brought us safe thus far.

Our physical distancing and use of masks is part of our belief
that God calls us to look to the welfare of our community and its members.
