Welcome to First Presbyterian Church, Delavan, Illinois

At First Presbyterian Church we want to love and serve God. We believe that Jesus Christ shows us the way. Jesus Christ is "the way, the truth, and the life." Jesus reveals the depths of God's love for us. Jesus calls all people to follow him. We want to be disciples, followers, of Christ. Together, we grow as followers through Worship, Study, Fellowship, Mission, and Proclamation. The doors of First Presbyterian are open for you. We look forward to worshiping with you and discovering together the disciple God is calling you to become. Let's grow together in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, loving God more completely and serving God more joyfully.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

We're giving our faithful 4th Monday volunteers this month off. We will not be providing a 4th Monday supper in May. We will be back in June! We'll see you on June 25th. Come hungry, leave satisfied.

Pentecost is all about celebrating the Holy Spirit. Our Pentecostal brothers and sisters don't have a lock on the Holy Spirit! Come celebrate the blessings of the Holy Spirit in body, mind, and spirit as we praise and worship God together: we miss you and can't wait to meet you!

With the coming of Pentecost comes the PC(USA)'s Pentecost Offering. This offering is unique in that it is entirely dedicated to benefit children and youth. The Pentecost Offering helps to bring God's transforming, redeeming love to children at risk, guide and nurture young people's growing faith, and provide opportunities for young adults to become spiritual leaders--all in the name of Jesus Christ. We will receive this special offering, appropriately enough, on Pentecost (May 28th). You may also donate $10 at any time by texting YOUTH to 20222. To learn more about this offering and the work it is doing, please visit www.pcusa.org/pentecost

We switch to our summer worship schedule on the first Sunday in June, 6/3. During the summer, we worship at 9:00 a.m. Our Sunday School does not meet during the summer.

With the arrival of June, we give our choir the summer off. We will resume choir practice towards the end of July or early August: check back for more information.

If you would like to receive our monthly print newsletter (no web version yet--sorry!), please call or e-mail us here at the church with your name and address, and we'll be happy to add you to our mailing list.
