The theme is High Seas Expedition, and centers around Peter, John, and Paul’s missionary activities. VBS is opened to all children 3 years old to 5^th grade. If you would like to sign up your children or grandchildren, the registration forms are available from Liz Taft, on the Web site www.firstpresseguin.org. or at the church office.  Please do register so that we can get the t-shirts for the children and have enough supplies.

Pictorial Directory

Pictures for the pictorial directory have been taken. Tracy and Ariel Bittner have been very busy as photographers. If you were unable to have your picture taken on the designated dates, please call the office to make arrangements to still have your picture included.

After all the photos have been taken, each family will have its own page which will list names of family members, birthdays and anniversaries, hobbies, interests, past or present employment, and any other information that will help  us know each other better.  The directory will then be printed and plans for its publication are being finalized.  Each family will then have the opportunity to purchase a copy of the directory and any additional photos for the actual cost of publication or developing.

Thank God It’s Friday: Encountering the Seven Last Words from the Cross

William H. Willimon

Christ's seven last words from the cross have long been a source of reflection, challenge, and soul-searching. These simple statements contain the full range of human emotions and divine self-revelation: grief, compassion, despair, forgiveness, physical need, the promise of redemption. In many ways they embody the core of the gospel. In this brief book one of today's most noted churchpersons and preachers confronts us with the seven last words' claim on our lives.

Cost of the book is $10 and will be available beginning February 6 following worship.
