When's the last time you were surprised?

When’s the last time you were
SURPRISED AT CHURCH?




We’ve all heard the phrase somewhere along the way: “Church is boring!” Boring church means yawning kids, sleeping Dads, “rolling eyes,” cynicism, the same-old-same-old. No one likes boring. So instead, let’s expect surprises! Indeed, God is a surprising God, right?

At First Presbyterian Church, you can expect a few surprises now and then. Maybe not Sponge Bob. But rather, a surprising openness to questions and doubts, a respect for you and your imagination, the good news communicated in creative and concrete ways, and a willingness to experiment. Join us Sunday mornings (and, beginning this month, every second Saturday night) at First Presbyterian, 302 E. Prince Street.

By the way, if you really like surprises, you might like our new “Saturday Night Experiment”—a casual, laid-back, welcoming, loving atmosphere; a place more concerned about where you’re going than where you’ve been.
