First Presbyterian Church
Sunday is the New Funday!
Join us for SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE – a FREE weekly outreach event open to
all in the community at First Presbyterian Church. We invite
everyone to come try out our new Children’s Program, experience new
ideas for learning Christian values and meet our new Youth & Family
Life Director, Paige Ervin.
Come at 5:00 p.m. for a FREE dinner and enjoy delicious food (taco
salad, pizza, hamburgers, chicken strips, etc.) that includes dessert,
in a family style setting before the weekly programs begin at 5:30
p.m. Adult small groups, Jr. & Sr. High Youth Group and
Sparks, our new children’s program, gather for 90 minutes for their
respective programs. From 7-7:30 p.m. the evening comes to a
close with an uplifting time of praise and prayer to start your week
off right!
Sunday Night Live provides something for everyone ages 0 – 99.
Infants and children up to 2 years of age will be cared for in the
nursery and will be entertained by lots of nursery toys while learning
important age-appropriate social skills. They will also be taught
some basic biblical principles and/or lessons through song.
Children ages 2 through 5th grade will take part in our new children’s
program, Sparks. Divided into smaller groups determined by age,
children will play age-appropriate games, create art projects and sing
songs that enhance the scripture or lesson taught each week.
Activities for this age group are planned in a way that encourages
lesson retention and real life application for kids to grow in their
spirituality and faith.
Kids in 6th – 12th grade will meet for Youth Group with our new Youth
& Family Life Director, Paige Ervin. Paige will lead our
youth in fun activities, meaningful conversations and relatable
Biblical lessons. Some of the Youth activities throughout the
year include a youth retreat, a Christian concert/festival in the
summer, church and community service projects and a trip to Kings
Island. Other youth activities could include paint-ball,
Putt-Putt golf and the driving range, bikes rides and/or nature
hikes. Teens will learn how to incorporate biblical principles
and Christian values into their everyday lives as they grow in their
faith and build lasting friendships.
Adults are encouraged to participate in small group meetings that are
currently participating in the Congregational Study, “The Next Best
Step,” a book/study written by Gordon Bell. Upon completion of
the congregational study, small groups are encouraged to continue
meeting weekly. Groups can choose another Christian book to
study, a Right Now Media study, embark on a Christian education venture
or just be a support to each other in our journey of faith. As we
move through the year, Christian education opportunities (classes,
studies) will increase and provide more options for anyone interested
in developing a deeper faith and more meaningful relationship with God
and other Christians.
