Special Services

During the course of the calendar year, special worship services are offered at FPC. Some of these include

  • Maundy Thursday – a somber service remembering the passion and sacrifice of our Lord on the eve of the Crucifixion. Communion is observed at this evening service.
     

  • Easter Sunrise Service – held amidst the beautiful setting of Robinson Lake, this service is a gathering at sunrise to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord. Breakfast foods and beverages are provided and casual attire is encouraged.


     

  •  Kirking of the Tartan – a traditional worship service emphasizing the Scottish heritage of the Presbyterian Church features the ceremonial opening of worship by the church beadle, bagpipers, and a chance to see our senior minister in his kilt.

             

 

  • Joy Gift – a special musical program by the Chancel Choir is the feature of this service, routinely held the first Sunday morning of December. A special offering is taken to assist in the welfare of retired clergy in the denomination.

             

     

  • Christmas Eve – a candlelight service joyously commemorates the Savior’s birth as families gather to celebrate this time of year. Christmas hymns and a meditation in the form of a children’s Christmas story are featured. Communion is observed at this evening service.
