First Presbyterian Church!
Updated October 14, 2021
The worship committee is putting together a tribute to everyone that we have lost to Covid this year including our family members and friends that you know that have passed from it and we will honor our own members that we have lost from our church family this year.
Please send names to Carrie at churchadmin@fpclincoln.org by October 25th and watch for something to be posted on November 1st.
People know that at its core, Christianity has something good to offer the human race. At the same time, many have a sense that they are alone in being a “thinking” Christian. Many also have been afraid to ask troublesome questions that seem to question the basic teachings of Christianity, for fear of being thought a heretic. What is needed is a safe environment where people have permission to ask the questions they’ve always wanted to ask but have been afraid to voice. That time and place is Mondays at 7 pm, in our LIving the Questions class. More info: https://fpclincoln.org/ltqgroup/
Sunday, Nov. 7, 11 am in Fellowship Hall |
If you’ve been visiting or just want to know more about our church, or just want to meet some cool people, then join us Sunday, Nov. 7 after worship. We’ll hear some info about our church, who we are and what we do, and have a chance to hear each other’s stories. |
We are continuing to collect handprints of all our church members who were part of the life of FPD when they were in high school. You can add your handprint to “Cloud of Witnesses” in the East Entrance of the church following worship throughout October. We will also have the canvas out over the holidays to catch some of our college students and those who live out of town. |
Bible 101
September 19, 9:00 am – October 31 | Hebrews 211
What is the Bible? Sounds like an obvious question with an obvious answer, but is it? This seven-session/week Sunday morning class will meet from 9:00 – 9:45 am, and is designed to help adult participants learn/refresh the basics of what the
Bible is and what the Bible is about.
September 22, 6:00 pm – November 24 |
The Eatery Restaurant
We are not meeting on October 20th, but will resume on Oct. 27th
The book Short Stories by Jesus by Amy-Jill Levine invites us to look at the parables of Jesus not through our modern Christian lens, but through the Jewish lens in which the parables were originally told. Each week, the group will gather together to discuss the week’s chapter/parable and dive into a discussion about what it has to teach us anew. Join us on Wednesday nights from 6:00-8:00 pm at The Eatery restaurant on South 48th Street between Normal and Van Dorn.
We will resume in-person classes on our Celebration Sunday, September, 12th.

Cheryl Rennick joined us for what was intended to be a short time, and that short time has turned into several years. She is ready to retire, so that means we are looking for a new Finance Administrator.
The Finance Administrator is responsible for the overall financial life of the church and Foundation in terms of record-keeping, accounting, payables, payroll, reporting, and working directly with other staff responsible for receiving and recording deposits. This is a part time job, 20 hours per week, with a flexible schedule.
