First Presbyterian Church September 2024
September 1, 2024
Dear Church Family,
As some of you may already know, Pastor Walter has been a patient at Rochester General Hospital and will be having aortic heart valve replacement surgery in the near future. If all goes well, he will have 6-8 weeks of recovery time. Please pray for successful surgery and recovery. Especially remember him and his family during this challenging time.
In the meantime, Session members are planning on conducting regular Sunday worship services and, along with the Deacons, giving leadership in the activities of the church. If you have a specific concern, please contact the Clerk of Session or any of the Session members, who will then direct your concern to those best able to
respond.

Labor Day Ecumenical Worship Service
On Sunday, September 1st, the Labor Day Ecumenical Worship Service sponsored by the Council of Churches will be held in Northup Park at 10:00 a.m.; in case of rain, it will be held at the First Baptist Church.
Choir
A pop-up choir will sing at the worship service on the fourth Sunday of each month. We will sing hymns, so the music will not be difficult. Anyone interested in participating please gather to warm up at 10:15 am downstairs in the dining hall.
